Evening dudes.

I want to be able to place a Lay Bet with a £100 liability pre off say at odds of 10.0 with an offset back bet of 10 ticks with greening - easy peasey so far...

But I then want to place a Stop Loss without greening at odds of 5.0 for the same stake as my original Lay Bet - the logic being that if my original selection does not drift, but comes in, it will trigger the Stop Loss but if it goes on to lose, the overall position will effective scratch, and if it goes on to win I'll take a loss of about £50.

I can't work out how to do this - can anyone help?

You can't do it within one function using the global settings, it's either offset with greening and stop (which will green up to) or offset and stop

You could create a servant to do it where one rule places the lay with offset bet and greening
then add a 2nd rule to the servant to place a back bet if the loss exceeds £X or the price trades a 'X' odds
