Because my alert has a condition to check "Green all profits" <£0.00, I think this means it is looking for a green up event to take place before it plays the loss alert.
I think you've misunderstood what the Green All Profit condition does. It doesn't mean that you have already greened up, it's just testing what the green all profit value is at this current time. The Green All Profit value is constantly calculated based on your matched bets and the current market prices; it shows the profit (or loss) that you would get if you were to Green All at that moment in time and all of those bets matched.

People might use the condition to trigger the exit from the market if the profit reaches a required target, or perhaps to stop new bets going in if the loss is already too big.

A straight £10 back bet has been placed at 3.5 on the second runner on this ladder

Your loss rule would trigger on this if it was armed because the current profit is -£0.41p (which is less than your £0.01 condition)
Ye true, mine was playing the alert 6 or so seconds into a race if trading in the red zone like that. But that bet is still in play and so could trade lower into the green and end up winning. So sounding a loss alert at this stage seems too premature to me. It'd be great if it could notify me after I have taken a loss, to get my attention. Otherwise just leave it ticking along while I manually trade other markets.
Thats what the two conditions I advised to add in my first reply at the top of the previous page will stop from happening

Stop what from happening, sounding the alert too early?
I still have both those conditions in the loss alert, should I remove them?

Still finding my feet here with automation, conditions, and signals :)
