I think I have posted about this before.
I find it extremely frustrating that the green up functions do not have an automatic cancel all other actions built in .
Surely the whole point of greening up is that you have reached the goal and you wish to exit with your winnings.
What happens is I green up and rules continue to trigger and I can then go on to make a loss.
Why should I try and think of work arounds?
The green up I am going for is variable so I don't even know if there is a workaround
Any thoughts from the man with the cowboy hat?
Cancel on Greening
"Surely the whole point of greening up is that you have reached the goal and you wish to exit with your winnings."
Not necessarily if have automations that green up at a target but this then triggers the next part of the rule (which does not fire unless i have already secured a £X green amount).
There is a simple way to do it which is not a work around it just a simple condition in your back or lay bet rule that tells it to only do until £X profit is achieved.
So if you where greening up at £10 and did nt want to back anymore times after this
On your actual back rule you would include the condition
"Green all profit condition"
Is less than £9.99
When you say your green is variable do this mean you have a automation running but are greening it manually on the fly?
If so you cant expect the rule to know when you have decided that green amount is enough for the race it has to have some figure to work with.
Depending on what your rule is doing there is a number of simple ways you can do for example
If dutching runners but your greening up manually you could put into the dutch rule only to back if there is no lay bets on the selection (ie once you have greened up there will be lays so from that point forward no further dutches are placed).

Hi
I don't have a cowboy hat, but I do know my way around Guardian...
The green up function definitely does cancel bets - as you say, that is the whole point. However, you might need to add some conditions/logic to execute as you intend.
I had an issue with one of my rules recently that fired a lay with greening multiple times (in running), resulting in a net lay position, which wasn't the intention.
This was tracked this down to the first greening lay being unmatched - as market had moved against me, however the trigger fired another lay with greening into the market, (as the original condition was valid - in this case the profit exceeded a value), and then both lays were subsequently matched resulting in the net lay.
I worked around this by increasing the trigger wait to 2 secs (from 1) and adding a condition to test number of unmatched bats < 1. Now works as expected.
Hope this helps
Steve

I am backing then laying, multiple times, then greening when the favourite reaches 1.25.
I have no idea how much profit or loss I have made when the fav reaches 1.25.
The backing and laying continues even after the green up has occurred.
I suppose back and lay only if fav > 1.25 may go some way to solving the problem.
