Problem understanding "Close Trade" Condition

[firlandsfarm]

I suspect I'm not understanding how this Condition should be used. I want to fire a bet where one of the Conditions on doing so is that the current (pre bet) profit on the Selection, if it wins, is less than -£2 (so a loss of more than £2). I (probably) naively thought a "Close Trade profit less than -£2" Condition would do it but it doesn't. Any thoughts on how to add a Condition that's dependant on the current trading position of the Selection?

The close trade profit condition looks at your current P/L if you were to exit at the best odds not your total expousure

For this you can use Stored Values, and set a Stored value when you P/L on a selection is less than -£X.XX

Then on your back/lay rules use a Stored value condition to test if this value is true or not

Thanks Dallas I'll look into that.
