Double hedge.

In my last post above I mentioned that I had to cancel unmatched hedge bets before I could make progress. The software works perfectly.

Gavvy...welcome to the "double tap mouse button club",Ive done it a few times been £50 up in green on winner,gone for an extra quick in-out for a few ticks.The price dropped suddenly and because my ladder was set to "auto centre" I clicked on a hedge price before tick offset had kicked in thus laying a horse for about £400 that was 3L clear trading at about 1.15 .....................But it can go for you too sometimes if theres a few more bounces

I see no logical that the bet matched that I did not want to expose.

Again. I use a ladder. I have a separate column for the profit / loss. When I clicked on this column, I want to hedge and not to put any other bets.
This column is only for hedging and nothing else it should not happen.
For those who do not know what a hedge say - it made the call the previous bet. In my example, the first back 38.1$ to 10.5 - is a hedge, and the other - this is the simple bet, which should not occur even after 10 clicks on a column profit / loss.

You are assuming that the hedging will always occur. In real markets it does not work on some occasions. This is not the fault of the software. If your hedging bet is not matched, cancel it and try to hedge again.

You all probably know this but you can set the toy to cancel all open bets upon market or selection hedge.

Thanks, I was aware of this. To be honest I don't mind doing the cancelling myself. It always happens shortly after a goal is scored and I have to decide to green up or let the bet ride. There have been occasions when I decided to green, failed to get the hedging bet matched, cancelled it and, another goal was scored !

My trading is purely a hobby for me and, although I study it and spend hours on the theory thinking about automated processes, I do not always treat it as seriously as others would. I do not depend on it for an income and it is purely fun for me. Luckily, I have been able to make some money but that doesn't matter. I used to be a gambler in the conventional sense. By becoming more of a trader I monitor all the money I spend and my returns. My hobby doesn't cost me anything. ( A mate lost £ 700 on one rugby match this weekend and I don't like that sort of fun )
