Stoploss

Postby U.F.O » Fri Dec 10, 2010 2:29 pm

Is there a option when you have a offset bet and a stop loss,

to stop the stop loss being canceled when you move your exit position bet.

hope that make sense , if not i explain better next time :D

ok ill try and explain it better this time

Say for example I placed a back bet with a 5 tick offset and a 5 tick stop loss at odds of 5.0,

the offset lay bet is placed at 4.5 and the red square for the stop loss is positioned ready to trigger at 5.5.

the problem is if i see that my offset bet is not going to get matched at 5.5,
i might try to move it on the ladder to say 4.6 or 4.7 , but as soon as you do this the stop loss automatically cancels itself.

i was wondering if there was an option anyware that i had missed, that kept the stop loss active until the trade was closed.

I'm not sure it should cancel the stop loss, it could be a bug. I will investigate.

Did you get chance to look at this ?

it's not a big deal but a little annoying at times

I have found the problem. I will release an update tomorrow morning. This problem only exists in the Beta version. It is because the stop loss code was redesigned and offset bet updates were not taken into account correctly.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
