Hi

I'm just experimenting with this option.
So I have https://pasteboard.co/bxp2G0vGoyVY.png
Am I correct in thinking it will automatically lay a bet at 5.5 if the back odds go to 5.2? Thus limiting my losses if the odds start to drift?
But there is no 'protection' should the lay be matched and the odds shorten?
Thank you!

That's correct
When using a stop loss its usually best to also use fill/kill so that the offset bet is only placed once the opening bet is filled

Ok thank you, I will have to try that tomorrow. I can't find an active market at the moment. What is a good delay in seconds for the setting?

There is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on the strategy and how long you want the opening bet to be active and able to be matched for
