My Stop Loss disappears when I´m switching over to a different market then when I go back the stop loss Is gone. I use the ladder to set my stop loss. Is that normal or Is there a box that should be ticked or something ?
Thx

Thats normal. The market must remain open for function to execute. I understand that the ability to play multiple markets and use the Stop Loss function is achievable via use of Guardian and Excel function but this is something I do not use and unable to offer opinion.

"If you add the market to guardian betangel will continue to monitor and execute commands in that market"

Is that correct ? because there Is no where In guardian that states that you have an Stop loss Inserted.

If you use stop loss on an offset bet as applied by the global settings then it can be managed by Guardian and you can switch markets.

If you use the quick right-click method on the ladder then Bet Angel needs to keep this market in main focus. As soon as you switch away it will lose the setting.

From what I can remember this is because there is no unmatched bet associated with the stop loss so it would be easy to forget you have set one. So I imagine some people would set the stop loss on one of the ladders, forget about it whilst continuing to trade on something else then switch markets.

Thanks for the answer. So If I have backed fex Liverpool at 1.5 for 100 and want to have an stop loss If they go up to 1.56. Then I set "stop on opening bet" and "stop trigger" to 3 , Is that correct ? and how do I set the stake ? liability 100 ? Should "Fill or Kill" box be ticked ?
