Excel command to hedge

[jvsydney]

Hi,

I have an Excel spreadsheet that decides if I should LAY or not. I can issue the LAY command to set the lay bet.

I want to hedge that LAY bet by placing a BACK bet at a safety price. For example, the sheet calculates that I should LAY at 20. I'd like to put in a BACK at 5 just in case the the horse starts to win.

What is the Excel command I need to send that places the LAY bet and hedges just in case the horse starts to win?

Thanks

OK. So I found the answer, I think.

I changed the command to

LAY STOP:10 STOP_PLACE:15 OPENING_STOP:TRUE

This is accepted and the log shows it works:

2/14/2016 10:39:51: [Excel] : $ 0.50 Lay bet placed on 2. Oakmont Blonde at 8.8. Fully matched at 7.6. Ref: 6212315349 ( Opening Stop at 10 ticks. Place stop at 15 ticks. )

However, it seems to run through the stop; the stop order is never placed.

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions.

STOP command only works if your OFFSET > 0

if you don't set OFFSET it will be 0 and the stop will not work.

You can HEDGE with global command too: GREEN_ALL
