Backing at 2.0 and scalp

[greety]

Hi guys.
I've been playing around with a variation on Lay the first to 2.0.
I've been backing the first to 2.0 and then hoping to scalp for ten ticks. Finished two pounds down with five pound stakes which I feel shows a bit of promise.
I would have showed a profit but for 3/4 lay bets not getting matched.
Instead of looking for ten ticks, is it possible to set the bot to take a 50p profit instead. Is that likely to work better and if so, how would I adjust the bot?
I guess a stop loss is out of the question because of volatility. Right?

I believe you can green out across the market for a set amount - this would trigger as soon as your threshold was met. Personally, I'd be a little more circumspect and add two green up clauses, one for loss > than and one for gain <= to!!

my 2 cents worth

Thanks for the reply Jim.
Any idea how to do this and I've no chance of using a stop loss. Correct?

Could someone help me with this please?
