Thanks - I've included an example, I placed the 4 back bets then ran the rules file.

Not sure why it placed lays all at the same time and for exhalted angel - it wasn't 1 minute before the off so the last rule shouldnt have kicked in and the profit / loss of £1.50 hadnt been reached either way for the first 2 rules.

Unless im missing something?

Thanks again Dallas
At the time your rule triggered you positions were

Mary Sonic -£1.00
Bedford Flyer -£0.34
Fine Wine -£0.11
Exhalted Angel -£0.15

Your net position being a overall loss of -£1.60

So its triggered correctly

Sorry I think I might not have explained things the best. I wanted it to be £1.50 profit/loss individual horse. Not overall position.

So when Fine Wine hits £1.50 profit or loss place a lay, if it gets to 1 min before the off take whatever the profit or loss is.

Thanks for the help

So for that you'll need to change the following on those first two hedge rule you have

Rule type from 'Green all selections' to a 'Close Trade on Selection with Greening'
and apply it to 'Every' Selection

Then change the conditions on both from 'Green all Profit Condition' to 'Close Trade with Profit Condition'
and tick the 'with greening' box when you have changed it

And that will look at each selection individually with those two rules
