Close Trade Profit condition - help please

[andygreen1965]

Hi all

I'm a newbie here. Sorry if my query is basic.

I am trying to create a rule that closes a frontrunner's back bet once a certain trade profit has been achieved.

Have bene trying different things. An offset bet is marked by ticks which isn't ideal as it doesn't activate at a certain profit level, just a certain point in the ladder. So I tried to use Close Trade Profit instead on a profit of £0.75 on a £2 back bet.

I have tried different ideas using various combos of rules including:
Place Back Bet of £2 5 seconds before scheduled start time. (That one is OK)
Place Beck bet with offsetting
Keep unmatched bets on in-play.
Close Trade Profit condition on a Close Trade on Selection, and also tried the same condition on a Lay bet with greening.

Nothing has quite worked as I was hoping for, but I think the solution is pretty simple - it is just beyond me and my rising level of annoyance.

I think my difficulty is that I am not totally confident about some of the language - especially around 'greening'.

Can anyone offer me a simple solution, or should I be persevering some more - I felt that I was learning quickly, but feels like I'm going backwards at present.

Thanks
