Hi,
I'm getting used to scalping horse with bet angel on the one click screen. My trade profits are often in the green :-). However when the race starts the price fluctuates and sometimes turns into a loss. Is this normal or can you lock in your profits before the race starts.

yes - on one click screen hit the column named "trade profit" - it will green you up if you are in profit (spread your profit across the field) -or red you up if you have a loss (spread the loss across the field)

you could write an automation rule that will green/red up at specified time ie 15 secs after or before the offical off - taking the decision out of your hands

it would not be a bad idea to download and read the pdf on how to use this software - as greening/redding is very basic and its probably not a good idea to use ba live if you dont understand what you are doing or trying to do

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm still using practice software and will for sometime. I'm working through trial and error and the manual at the same time + asking questions. Hopefully I will soon get a grasp of it all.

Why does the price still keep moving when the race has started?
Is this normal?
Thanks
Craig

when the pre off market suspends and closes - the inplay market opens and traders trade it - hence the price movements - you would be best to not trade the inplay markets they are completly different to the pre off markets - require different mind set - different skills etc - if you do you will get slaughtered
