If you’re looking to streamline your trading strategy and make more efficient decisions, Bet Angel’s ‘net stake’ feature is something you can’t afford to overlook.

This tool is designed to simplify the trading process, making it easier for traders to manage their positions effectively

The Power of the 'Net Stake' Function

Bet Angel’s ladder trading screen includes a revolutionary function known as ‘net stake’. This feature eliminates the need for traders to constantly monitor matched bets, a task that can be both time-consuming and complex.

The net stake function automatically displays your net position, giving you a clear overview of your current trading status without the hassle.

When you are Betfair trading you need to open a position, then close a position to get a profit. So the Net Stake feature monitors if your stake in unbalanced in one direction or another and displays that value for you right on your Ladder interface.

Understanding Net Stake in Action

To understand the real value of this feature, let’s delve into a practical scenario.

Imagine you place a lay bet on Betfair. As your bet starts to get matched, the net stake value changes. As your lay bet gets filled the net stake increaases and the background changes to a blue colour from a neutral colour.

This value tells you exactly how much you need to bet on the opposite side (the back side) to balance your position. It’s a straightforward indicator of whether you need to increase or decrease your stake to maintain a balanced trading position.

Be aware you can only use this feature where you are not creating or closing a partial of full book within a market. If you don’t know what that means, it doesn’t affect you!

It’s also important to know that when you hedge the net stake will change to reflect the hedged position, but that should be the very last thing you do in any market.

Why Balancing Your Trades is Crucial

At the end of each trade your net stake should show zero, before hedging. Balancing your trading positions in this way is vital in managing risk and ensuring that you’re not overexposed in any direction.

The net stake feature serves as a guide, showing you the exact amount needed to bring your position to a close. If you open with a £100 lay you will need a back bet of £100 and vice versa. Net stake is not only showing you how unbalance your trade is, it shows your closing positions required to exit and also on which side of the market you need to place those bets.

This not only simplifies your decision-making process but also enhances your ability to manage trades effectively and efficiently.
