If you want to make your triggers bet on specific selections, rather than on "Favourite", "All Matching Selections", "Probable Loser" etc., then you have two options:
1. Create a separate trigger for each selection you want to bet on.
A trigger can be applied to a specific market and selection. You just select the market in the event tree, then go to "Triggers" page, create a trigger and select that market from the drop-down list. After you have selected the market, the list of its selections will appear in the "Selections" field, and you can choose the one you want to bet on.

2. Apply Greenup, Dutching & Triggers
If the above option does not suit your needs or you want to apply the trigger to more than one selection, then you will need to mark all selections that you will be trading on. Click on each market that you will be betting in, and switch it to "Full Mode". If you do this regularly, then you should consider turning "Full Mode" on by default. Then uncheck all selections that you will not be betting on. They will be grayed out. The rest selections will be the ones that your triggers will be working with.
Then set the "Selections" field of the trigger to "All Selections". In spite of the word "All", the trigger will be applied only to those selections that you marked on the market page.
3. Matching a pattern in the selection's name
This method is efficient if you always bet on a selection with a specific name, for example "The Draw" in Soccer, or "FTSE Down" in Financial markets.
For example, to bet on "The Draw", add a trigger with the following properties:
Action, Price, Amount, Markets, Market Status - choose appropriate
Selections: All Matching Selections
Conditions are met:
Any Selection's Name contains "The Draw"
The trigger will be applied to "The Draw" in any monitored market. To apply it to other selections, just change the "The Draw" pattern to something else.
Another example is betting on a specific trap in Greyhound races:
Any Selection's Name is equal to "Trap 1"
