These servants are for use on any type of market both pre and in-play although I’d suggest caution if using in-play.

The purpose of these basic servants are to allow you to use a stop loss on your opening bet but WITHOUT the need for an offset bet.

There are two servants to download at the bottom of this message, each is identical except one places a back bet in the market the other a lay bet. When either servant is started a bet is placed at the ‘Servant context price’ using the ‘Servant context stake’ (so a bet is placed at the price your cursor is hovering using the stake chosen for that selection from the pre-set staking area at the time it is started).

How they Work

On their respective back/lay bets, they each use the new stored value option to Store the value of the ‘servant context price’ (the price it places the bet at).

Each servant also has a ‘Close trade on selection with greening’ rule
On the back bet servant, a condition of its close trade rule is the lay price must be 3 ticks higher than its stored value (ie the price has drifted 3 ticks above the price the back bet was placed at).
On the lay bet servant, a condition of its close trade rule is the back price must be 3 ticks lower than its stored value (ie the price has shortened 3 ticks above the price the back bet was placed at).

These are what create the stop loss, if you wish to change the stop loss from the current 3 ticks just go into the rule named stop loss and onto the conditions tab then change the number of ticks at the bottom of the Stored Value Condition, as shown in the image below.

To use these servants just click on either or both the ASC Back Bet with Stop Loss and ASC Lay Bet with Stop Loss.Baf attachment links below and this will download them to your computer, then open your Servant Manager window and click the rules link at the top and then "Import a Rules File" as shown in the image, once imported it will now appear in your dropdown boxes and is ready to be started whenever required.

Once you have it imported into your Servant Manager it can be edited very easily simply by clicking on "Edit Rules File".

With any servant always run in practice mode first to ensure everything is working fine, and repeat this each time you make any changes.

See the following thread for step by step instructions on downloading and importing a servant into your Bet Angel, or see image below on were to import it in your Servant Manager.
