Logging off whilst unmatched orders remain.

[Damon]

Just a quickie -- if I want to join the bid on a particular spread for a few days (waiting for a large lay to get matched), with a one-tick offset request, do I need to keep my PC logged on, or is it safe to simply put it into 'standby' mode? Basically, I'm concerned as to whether I will lose my place in the queue if I don't leave the PC running as normal.

Will my orders submitted via BA still be executed if the market in question is left open, but my PC is in standby mode?

The original bet would keep its position in the queue anyway. But for the
offset it's necessary that the PC keeps running.

Yes, the PC must be kept running and Betting Assistant must also be left open on the market for it to be able to monitor the bet being matched and therefore place the offset bet.

Cheers guys.

Is there any way I can stop my laptop from going into hibernation/standby mode automatically? It seems to do so after about 30 minutes of inactivity, which is obviously a problem when I retire for the evening! The laptop doesn't actually shut down and when I click on the screen, everything appears as it was before the hibernation...

You need to change your power saving settings. You can do this through control panel or if you have an icon in your system tray showing remaining battery charge then you may be able to access the setttings by right clicking on this icon.

Thanks Gary.
