I have always had an issue with this condition, if I have automation that fires bets in as it should as soon as I enter a condition with close trade at say less than -$5 it won't put any bets into the market, I remove this condition and the bets go in as they should.

Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Also if I have trades on multiple runners will the Close Trade only close the trade on the runner that meets the criteria or will it green/red all runners?

TIA

It should be greater than -£5 not less.
Otherwise you’re asking it to bet if you have lost more than –£5

Close Trade only, will only green bets on the selections that meet the conditions.
The selections should be set to (Every)

Thanks, but I am working off the user guide and it said this

A good way to remember it is to visualize it as a ladder with greater being higher and less as lower,
3
2
1
0
-1
-2
-3
so if you wanted to set a rule to trigger if a loss is worse than -£1 you would use 'Less' than -£1 (less being any figure lower than -£1)

So if I want to close trade at -2 I would set it up close trade at Less than -2.

However either way it wont close at greater than or less than

If you want your rule to place bets providing you loss is no more than -£5 then as Dabbla said above you need to use 'Greater than -£5'

As it shows in the ladder visualization that will allow the rule to trigger if your current loss amount is anything above -5 (ie, -4, -3, -2, etc)


If you want to actually green up when your loss exceeds -£5 then you need to add either a;

'Close trade on selection with Greening' rule, with a 'Close Trade Profit condition' is less than -£5
'Green All Selections' rule, with a Green all profit condition is less than -£5

As it shows in the ladder visualization that will allow the rule to trigger if your current loss amount is anything below -5 (ie, -6, -7, -8 etc)
