Hi There,

I've literally been using Bet Angel for a few weeks and I've run into a problem with my automation.

I've selected the offset Greening with trailing stop the problem is when the Trailing stop is triggered it doesn't green up for a profit regardless of the result. I wonder if someone could help me with this, please?

My Automation should do the following
at in-play place back bet
if the market goes against me, it shoudl then a stop at 20 ticks with "greening". That is to say, take a consistent loss even if the horse goes on to win.

what's happening is the trailing stop triggers, but if the horse goes on to win I lose more than my initial stake.


I've attached screenshots.

Its likely your offset is getting matched without your opening bet being filled, if you tick fill/kill on the parameters tab the offset will only be placed once opening bet is filled.

Stop losses also use your offset value, having such a wide gap (120 ticks) between your offset and stop if it is triggered and gets matched you'll need to run a separate green up rule to even everything out

Thank you so much for helping me out with this one.

I'm not sure I know how to execute what you're suggesting (re: separate green up rule ). Would you be able to suggest potential settings or do you know of another post in this forum that could help me?

To add a green up go into your automation file and click the green plus icon, and choose the 'Green All Selections' as your rule type
Then follow the instructions in the thread below to set it to green up if a loss exceeds an amount (bottom half of the 2nd post)
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=11488

The amount you set as your stop is up to you and would depend on your staking and were your trailing stop loss would be in a worst case scenario, so assume it was around -£3 if the trade were to go against you instantly then you could set this stop rule to around -£4

If it moves in favour then reverses your trailing stop should catch it first but if not and it goes straight through this rule will kick in for you when it reaches the amount you have set.

Just post back if you get stuck
