Unexpected stop/hedge

[egbohselecta]

Hi, I'm relatively new to all of this so I would be very grateful for any advice regarding the following
I set up an OCO in the correct score market for 0-0 for the Achilles 29 v Maastrict football match. I layed £10 for an entry point of 12, set the exit point to 60 and set the stop at 1.7. I ticked the hedge box. I set the persistence to keep and left it to run. After a while, I went back to check how things were doing and found that my trade had been entered but had also stopped out at 1.7 even though the scoreline was 2-0 and it wasn't even half time yet. Please can someone advise and I'm totally lost as to what happened??:

Please can you describe, in simple English, what you were hoping to achieve ? Why did you use the OCO tool in the correct score market ? I cannot understand your question in the original post and, if you could simplify it, somebody may be able to help you.

Hi custard ... I've probably done this all wrong but here goes... I wanted to lay £10 on the correct score being 0-0 at 12. However just in case the result was going to go against me I put in a hedged stop at 1.7 as usually if the game is 0-0 at around approx 75 mins the odds fall to around 1.7 and I would prefer to take a hit for around -£60 rather than risk a potential loss of £110. However, the lay bet got matched at 12 but the stop also seems to have been hit even though the score was 2-0 at half time and I am down £60 as a result. Does this make any sense??

I would basically like to know if I have done something incorrect as I assumed that when the first goal was scored the odds would go sky high and the stop would not be hit ... very confused (.com )

I still do not understand why you used the OCO tool. Why didn't you just lay at 12 , follow the market and try to minimise any losses as the game progressed ? The difficulty with using tools is that you have to be lucky to get bets matched. If they are not, things go haywire. The software is not automated like a bot. In my opinion most tools are pretty useless, especially in fast moving markets. By far the worst tool is a stop loss but you will have to do a search of the forum to understand why. I never use them and it was almost the last feature added to The Toy by Geek and then only after hundreds of people clamoured for this useless addition.

I don't know what you did wrong specifically. Just keep things simple and use the tools as little as possible.

Hard to tell after the fact. If your stop was matched @ 1.7 it would suggest the market hit 1.7 or less. { Possibly someone with fat fingers }

Best thing to do is play with the OCO in training mode until you are certain it's doing what you think.
