Hi all,

New to using automation and am trying to set something up but cant quite get it right.

It is regards to the Over 1.5 Goals as a football match starts.
I want to place a lay bet in at the start time of the match, but then for it to have a trailing stop loss following it as the odds increase while the game carries on.

I tried setting this up but it kept putting an offset trade on the back side up ahead of where it was going, but I wanted to have it trailing behind in case a goal went in.

I sat there and tried it manually, so I right clicked on the lay side as the price increased, however, a goal went in and it didn't take me out of the trade, I saw it just continued without greening.

Any help would be appreciated as I have looked at Guardians rules and parameters and cant quite get it right, if indeed this is possible.

Thanks,
Carlos

If you enable fill/kill that will stop any offset being placed before the opening bet is matched, but I wouldn't bother with a trailing stop in football markets, following a goal the price will reform at new odds any trailing stops will be left unmatched usually well away from the new price.

It's far better to run a green up rule and have it trigger after a goal once the market has reformed, several of the files in the football shared files section will show how to best set this up

Can you tell me how I set up a greening rule for the moment a goal is scored, and would the price it greens out at be where I was trading at that moment or after when the market has reformed.
I couldnt see it in the link you sent. Thanks

Any of the lay the draw files or most of the others which state 'green up' within the title do so after a goal.

It will trigger once a market has reformed
