Hey my strategy won't execute the 100% loss recovery from time to time. It's due to reset after 5 consecutive market losses and because it will sometimes break up those large losses with a smaller win (with no recovery) and it's leading to huge losses and the 5 consecutive losses never being hit.

I've uploaded a screenshot of the issue and the file.

Any help solving this would be massively appreciated.

At "Staking->Overall loss recovery->Safety settings" you are using "Min ROI (Return On Investment)" setting and it is set to 50%, so loss recovery will not be added if ROI is less than 50%.

You should be very careful with this as it can require huge bet sizes to recover small loss if ROI is smaller e.g. ROI of 1% means that loss recovery is allowed to risk 100 GBP per bet to recover 1 GBP loss.

Odds of both selections are used to calculate ROI, not odds from just one selection. Dutching for target profit functionality is used by Overall loss recovery to win target amount (loss), so ROI is calculated by using both selections, not just one.

You are betting on first and second favorite, so ROI is very small and it requires large amount of money to recover loss. It is very dangerous strategy.

100% it's a dangerous strategy which is why it's set to restart after 5 consecutive market losses. However, if it's failing to recover when it should be and as a result the losses don't full recoup when you get a win within those 5 potential losses (see attached), they begin to build on a next run of losses. The ROI is set to 1% so the previous suggestion of that being the issue can't be correct. I'm at a loss here.
