Hi All,
I am placing a few lay bets using the in play trader set up. I have set it up where the lay bet goes in 10 ticks outside best market price. Below I have pasted the bets I put on for one race. The "entirely unmatched" issue was a common theme through out the day.
I am only using small stakes but I think there are enough funds to cover the liability. What I don't understand is why the lay isn't staying in the market and catching when the price bounces, instead it is just disappearing. Why are some of the bets getting matched and other showing entirely unmatched. I am sure the price is moving out but that doesn't seem to be the reason for not matching. Could it be anything else?
Thanks in advance....

Hi Shaun,
THe fill or kill isnt selected.
I was playign around this morning and it seems to say it when the price I put in is lower then the current price. It seems odd it doesnt bounce back and pick it up though.
What price should I ask my bet to enter the market to be sure the bet will match?
Currently I use 10 ticks outside best market price. Is that not enough??

The log only writes what happened at the time your bet hits the market (matched, unmatched, part-matched)
Those unmatched ones could well have been matched afterwards, you'd need to refer to your matched bets to check
