I've created an "offset bet with greening and stop" rule in guardian, but despite playing around with it - such as using fill or kill and allowing the rule to trigger multiple times - a stop bet never seems to be placed. (This is in play racing so appreciate it won't necessarily be matched, but from what I can see a bet isn't placed at all.)

Is there a particular combination of settings that needs to be used? Thanks
