Stop trading if trade is plus

[Tobbe]

Hi

Is there a way to stop BA trading if trade is in plus. I have tested the "stable scalping " automation and it is moving from plus to minus and back again. I would like it to stop when it is in plus.

Hi

You can do this, although I wouldn't recommend it as you're adding a negative bias. IE your scalping will only continue if you're losing and will stop when it wins even though it could continue to win.

If you have an edge, you shouldn't throttle it. Think of the SIN(x) curves. If you set a limit when they are positive then you won't be gaining your full potential when positive but youll be losing full potential.

In anycase, if you still want to do it. You could use a signal with a Matched Bets Amount condition where the amount of lay bets matched are greater than the back bets matched (this means you are in profit on that selection if you are greened up) with no unmatched bets. Then you could place your scalp only when the signal isn't set. I think that would work. Anyone have a better way?

Another option is to add a green all profit condition to your back/lay rules

Yes but thats for the whole market not the selection correct?

Yes, but to do selections individually you'd just change the rule type and condition to a;
'Close trade on selection with greening' rule and a 'Trade Profit with Greening' condition
