Again I'd like to commend you on the software and the latest set of changes - before using this programme I was using the other well known Betfair programme - Betangel - its good but way too fiddly.

So back to my small ask - on the new hedge or close position dialogue box is it possible on the next revision to change the "Hedge if price goes down by %" to a editable / written value to allow me to inset a percentage higher than 99%?

Keep up the good work.

Hi baddydaddy67,

Good to hear that you like latest improvements!

Price change down by 100% will mean that price went down to value of 1.0. You cannot set higher value than 99% or 100% as it would result in invalid price, lower than price 1.0.

Its for B2L at higher prices - trust me this works on higher price horses where you can get about 1000% price drop, operating that with a TSL would hopefully increase strike rate. I use the trade out 2nd bet at present or use price drop to a value but percentage would be good if it was possible.

Can you please create example with bets and write price change for each bet so that we better understand how you need this to work? Thanks!

I back to lay certain horses with a BSP above 20, a drop of 1000 takes the odds to 2, if the BSP is 30 then the lay odds are 3. So basically on certain races I'll pick a selection of horses above BSP of 20 and look for a 100% price drop using the trade out 2nd bet, I don't know how this would work with a TSL, I'd probably have to set a high-ish tolerance band the other way maybe 200-300%. On the trade out 2nd bet if the B2L pushes the lay price to 1.01 then that is ok.

Make sense?

If you Back at 20 and odds drop down to 2, then that is ~90% price change down, not 1,000.

100% would be a drop in odds by half. I've screen dumped an example. it is basically a 10-1 B2L. A 100% B2L is a DOB, 1000% returns 10-1.

We discussed price/odds change by X%, not potential profit by X% compared to invested money. Ok, I believe we have enough information now and we will review this for future updates. Thank you!

Apologies for mix up, thanks for considering.
