Close Trade Profit Position with Greening

[chrislholdsworth]

Hope somebody can help.
The trade goes into a loss position above my Close request and hovers above there for a significant time going up and down but just doesn’t put a Lay bet (greening) down and allows the bet to lose the Back amount in full.
Any ideas why this should happen?
Many thanks
Chris

It would help if you post your rules file or a screenshot of the conditions to the rule that won't fire.

Your back bet is armed to trigger on the fav, as is your close trade rule
But by the time your selection reaches the loss to satisfy your condition it probably isn't the fav any more

You can fix this two ways

1) change the rule to a 'Green all selections' and use a 'green all profit condition'

2) At the same time you back bet rule triggers run a 'Fix Order of market selections' rule (put the rule below your back bet rule and use the same arm times and conditions)

That way no matter how the prices change thereafter the rules will remember the sort order from the time your back bet was placed
