Hi

Can I set my own stake as a stop-loss without automation or greening my current position?

For Example I back 100USD on 2 and enter on ladder rightclick stop-loss on 2.1
Betangel can lay only 100USD or greening, but if I want to lay another stake? What should I do in this case?

Thanks

We encourage people to contact support directly if they want a quick answer. When an email arrives in the inbox its easier for the support guys to deal with, than browsing a forum to see if anybody has asked a question. The forum is mainly here for users to chat.

The stop loss closes at the current price and red's or green's up at that value. There is nothing to stop you from changing stakes and closing a postion with a larger stake than you opened with but this functionality is not available with the automated stop loss.

Ok I see but I`d like to know how can I do in this case for example:
I back 100USD on home team win at 2 and wait for changing price to 1.9 and after greenup it with profit 5.25USD
If price is rising I use stop loss at 2.1
but I want to stake sum at 2.1 that if home team win I can loose nothing
In my sample I made backer`s stake 90.9USD at 2.1 and loose 9.1USD only if home team can`t win

But automated stop loss in my sample only can stake 100USD at 2.1 or red`s up loose.

What is why I ask how can I change stake on stop loss function? Or you can explaine me how to solve my problem with another cases

There is a trick you can use. Stop loss as normal, then note the value of your loss. Goto the manual bet screen and on that selection type in the value of your loss into the manual greening area, then click the manual greenup. This will wipe out the value of the loss on that selection, leaving you with zero on that selection, but obviously red elsewhere.

Is that what you were looking for?

I can`t use manual bet screen and manual greening area because manually place bet Laying on NEAREST laying odd! Not 2.1 odd but 2.02! Do you understand me?
I need stop loss ONLY when odds rising 2.1 and I can place my amount in stop loss stake

I understand you have been in touch with support, so hopefully they can help you out with a solution. We can look at it as a suggestion for future development anyhow.
