Stop Loss triggered early

[SilkBC]

Hello.

I made a LAY bet and enabled the Stop Loss. I set the tick offset to 5 and ticked the "Sliding" box.

My LAY was made at 1.08, so I was thinking that I wouldn't get out until the price hit 1.03, but Gruss got me out at 1.05.

I didn't have any other tick offsets set in any of the other tabs, so not sure why it would have got me out early (this wasn't a *bad* thing in this case, but could become annoying if it keeps getting me out earlier than I am wanting)

One other question: am I correct in my understanding that I can have several pages open, each with one active market and each with a stop loss and the stop loss will be triggered whether I am on that page or not?

Thanks! :-)

Hi,

When using the sliding option the Stop Loss will move when the price goes in the right direction and then if the prices moves back in the wrong direction it will fire at the new price that it reached, so can be very useful to lock in some profit.

If you don't want the Stop Loss price to move then don't use the Sliding option.

With regards to your other question, you are correct, you must keep the market open but not necessarily the active page.

Regards,
Mark

I just looked over the player's price history and saw that his price did go as high as 1.11 a couple of times, so yes, that would explain it. I wasn't actually glued tot he prices myself, and only saw his price stay around the 1.07-1.08 mark for the most part.

OK, mystery solved; I probably should have checked the price movement before I posted; that is exactly what I want to happen, so no issues here :-)

With regards to your other question, you are correct, you must keep the market open but not necessarily the active page.

OK, I thought so. I normally add a bunch of matches to the "Quick Pick" list on the same page and move between them (without using any of the tools on them), so if I just have one active market per page, then I know I can still be on several active markets and have the tools running.

Thanks! :-)
