Hi

Are you looking so scalp? The settings shown have an offset of 4 ticks whereas most scalpers would use 1.

The automation settings will not affect the one click screen.

Thanks JG

I want to back the horse early or at best price, then set the price I reckon it will firm to and lay it greening up.

Hi

You want to perform this manually or using automation? The automation you show in your screenshot is the legacy version. Advanced Automation is found in the Guardian section.

Legacy means it is an older setup. You can show this page by clicking on Features and putting a check mark in Automation.

If you are performing this manually then click the blue gear icon to ensure a red cross is over it. You can then place bets and manage them yourself. Once you have a net position you can use the calculator to determine a closing position. If you click on the manual area you can adjust the price according to your requirement and place the order.

You need a net position, i.e. your first position is matched. Then you can place a green up bet on the ladder.
