There's not much difference between "Green all selections" and "Close trade on selection with greening" just that some rules suit one better than the other.
For this rule as the trade is all on just one selection (draw) and you have conditions looking at the number of matched bets on that selection then "close trade on selection with greening" is the better of the two and the way i have done it in the past under similar curcumstances.
sorry to bother you again) can I ask you one more question?
I've set up Export P&L rule to watch result of trade after market is closed but a little bit confused about what I have received in that file. I can't find manual about how to read that file, so can't understand if I won or lose on particular trade.

I left the P&L report exactly as you had it and TBH did nt even check that part was set correctly, i ve never used this on automation i ve always either tested and watched in practice mode or been in real mode so knew what any P&L's where, i am assuming it will just export to a file somewhere within your BA folder located on your C: drive but someone else will have to give you a definate answer on that if you cant locate it.

Would you be so kind to answer two more questions? Don't want to start separate thread for not global questions.

1. About yesterday rule, it kinda works great, but one thing is strange, when it greens up, profit on the Draw always 2-3 times bigger than on other selections. f.e. 2.5-2.5-4(draw)
maybe I should use some other command instead of CLose with greening?

2.In other simple lay rule I expect stake to be layed @ Best Market Price. Sometimes due to time delay it is not matched. What is the best way in this case to just match it at best possible price which is available at the moment?

Is this rule completly seperate from your previous one and therefore being applied in different matches or at different times or have you added this in with your LTD rule?

Q1)
Without seeing the whole rule again its difficult to say but the condition you have used should of stopped additional lays but there could be a number of reasons its doing what it is (it's possible its placing the bets which then miss the price and remain unmatched initially then continuing to place more before all end up being matched?).

Q2)
If you select the option place lay at "Custom ticks above best market price" and select 5 or 6 ticks this should get you matched at the best price soon as the time delay ends

You will always get some inbalance with the green up in football markets becuase of the bet delay from trigger to when it actually hits the market, also after a goal is scored and the market is reforming a number of ticks movement could of occured from trigger to placement resulting in the inbalance.

The inbalance should not be as much on the more liquid markets where the market reforms quicker and more solid than on the iliquid ones which have a lot of gaps betwwen prices and take more time to reform and settle.

There are a few ways this can be reduced depending on the market types your mostly trading either or both below should help.

Add a condition "Time since suspension" to allow the market to settle abit more before closing the trade (there is the risk of missing your profit if another goal is scored quickly)
Add an additional greenup rule to trigger shortly after the close trade one which should level any inbalances more evenly as the market should of steadied out more.

Again thank you! It helped to resolve issues with greening. Yes, it occured on some not very liquid markets where price jumped too volatile.
