Poste e StrumentiThe Poste e Strumenti window allows you to control and set for the whole application:

Default Back Staking

Default Lay Staking

Default Stake Type

Fill or Kill

Tick Offset

Default Staking – StakeTo alter the Default Stakes you click in the stake box and type in the new stake. Alternatively, you can right click over the Riquadro delle Poste, which will bring up the Menu Poste. The new stake will automatically be used for the Griglia. To update the default stake for the Ladder it is necessary to click the Pulsante Aggiornamento.

Default Staking – Stake TypeTo alter the Default Stake Type you click on the Riquadro Tipo Poste and the Menu Tipo Poste will then be displayed. Select the stake type you require as default and the Riquadro Tipo Poste will update showing the new default stake type that has been selected. Clicking the Pulsante Aggiornamento will then update the default staking type in the Ladder.

In the below examples it is assumed that the default stake box is set to £10

Posta - this refers to the stake you place if you are placing a back bet or the stake you are accepting if you are placing a lay bet. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give a £40 profit if the selection won and a £10 loss if the selection lost

Placing a Lay bet at 5.0 would give a £10 profit if the selection lost and a £40 loss if the selection won

Responsabilità - this refers to the liability the person taking your back bet accepts if you place a back bet and the liability you accept if you place a lay bet. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £10 profit if the selection won and a £2.50 loss if the selection lost

Placing a Lay bet at 5.0 would give a £2.50 profit if the selection lost and a £10 loss if the selection won

Profitto sul Tick - this type of staking is for trading and refers to how much you make for one tick before greening up across all selections. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £400 profit if the selection won and a £100 loss if the selection lost

Then placing a Lay bet at 4.9 would give you a £390 loss if the selection won and a £100 profit if the selection lost

Therefore your net position would be a £10 (£400 - £390) profit if the selection won and no loss or profit is the selection lost (£100 - £100)

Profitto sul Book - this type of staking is for trading and refers to how much you make for one tick with greening up across all selections taken into account. For example:

Placing a Back bet at 5.0 would give you a £1,960 profit if the selection won and a £490 loss if the selection lost

Then placing a Lay bet at 4.9 would give you a £1,950 loss if the selection won and a £500 profit if the selection lost

Therefore your net position would be a £10 profit if the selection won (£1,960 - £1,950) and a £10 profit if the selection lost (£500 - £490)

Ritorno Lordo - The bet placed is the amount in the stake box divided by the odds. This staking type can be used for auto hedging counter trades. For example placing the below 2 bets would give a 50 pence \ cent profit across all selections…

Placing a back bet at 5.0 with £10 in the stake box, would place a bet of £2. { £2 Stake + £8 Liability = £10 }

Placing a Lay bet at with £10 in the stake box 4.0 would place a bet of £2.50. . { £2.50 Stake + £7.50 Liability = £10 }

Fill or Kill - when a bet is placed if it is not matched by the time set in the Fill or Kill tool it will automatically cancel. If part of the order is matched the remainder will still automatically cancel once the time set in the Fill or Kill tool has been reached. To change the time for the Fill or Kill tool you click in the input field and select a time in seconds from the menu. The new time will then apply to any subsequent bets placed.

Bets that have already been placed prior to the changing the options will still use their existing settings unless you click the Pulsante Aggiornamento.

Fill or Kill is not applied to any Hedge bets.

Fill or Kill is not applied to NET bets placed via the ladder quick menu, or closing positions when “NET” is shown in the ladder stake box.

Fill or Kill is not applied to bets created by Tick Offset.

Fill or Kill is not applied to any bets created by the Stop Loss tool.

Tick Offset - this automatically places the counter bet to your initial bet at the number of ticks set in the Tick Offset tool. For example, you lay a selection at 2.0 for £100 with tick offset set at 10 ticks. A back bet of £100 would then automatically be placed at 2.20. There are 4 options for Tick Offset. Partial, Partial Hedged, Full and Full Hedged. Partial will place counter bets as & when bits of the bet gets matched. Full will wait until the bet is completely matched before placing the counter bet. In either case, Hedged will equalise profit across all selections. To switch between the different modes, simply click on the text.

Bets that have already been placed prior changing the options will still use their existing settings unless you click the Pulsante Aggiornamento.

Tick Offset is not applied to any Hedge bets.

Tick Offset is not applied to NET bets placed via the ladder quick menu, or closing positions when “NET” is shown in the ladder stake box.

Tick Offset is not applied to any bets created by the Stop Loss tool.

Stop Loss - The stop loss works by automatically placing a closing bet into the market, at the number of ticks set in the Stop Loss tool should any bet in an open position meet these criteria. For example if a single lay bet is matched @ 2.0 with a stop loss of 3, this will automatically place a stop loss bet if the price trades @ 1.97 or below. Note that the stop loss is automatically calculated on the runner position & not attached to individual bets. To change the number of ticks, click the stop loss input field & a list of choices will show.

Place Stop At + - This allows you to set the number of ticks past the trigger price that you wish to place the stop loss at to ensure you are matched. In the above example, having the “Place Stop At +” set to 2 means the stop loss bet @1.95.

Hedgia - This option attempts to equalise the loss across all selections. NB In some cases market fluctuations means the stop loss bet may be matched at a better or worse price which means the greening may not be 100% accurate. Should this be the case you will see a new small stop loss position show in one direction or another. You will need to manually green this.

Cancel Bets - When checked, this will cancel all bets on the current selection prior to triggering the stop loss.

Inseguitore - When checked the stop loss trigger position 1 tick for every tick the market moves in your favour.

Any matched bet position stop losses show in the ladder at their trigger price in Red. Unmatched bet stop losses show on the ladder at their trigger price in orange. These can be dragged & dropped with the mouse to different trigger prices as required.
