Bet Angel VPS only version: - https://www.betangel.com/securedownload ... _beta1.exe
We have tested this in alpha over the last few weeks and any bugs found have been fixed. We feel it’s ready for beta release to the community ahead of its formal public release in the New Year.
As with all betas, please gain confidence with the version before using full stakes. If you spot any issues, please post them to this thread.
This version has been primarily driven by requests & suggestions received from the community both on this forum and via support e-mails. We’ve worked hard to make the enhancements as flexible as possible to satisfy collections of similar requests. Thank you to everyone for their suggestions.
Key features of this version:
- Ladder – Configurable Auto-centring with centre point adjustment
- Ladder – More control over colours of prices with available money and column background colours
- Ladder – Ability to ‘swap’ runners between ladders to prevent duplication
- Automation –Conditions can now be wrapped in groups. Groups can be nested if required. Each group can be configured to control how the conditions are tested (whether they ALL need to be true or just one of them etc). This effectively adds AND/OR/NAND/NOR logic to Automation Conditions.
- Automation – Close Trade and Green All conditions can reference a Stored Value
- Automation – New ‘Stop this Servant’ rule type. Allows a Servant to stop itself once certain Automation Conditions are met.
- Automation – Stored Values can now store and compare the Profit & Loss value displayed against a selection. Stored Value comparisons now also support <= and >=
- Excel – Added the ability to send Stored Values to Excel (defined in the ‘Additional columns’ section of Settings->Excel)
- Excel – New commands to assign/clear an Automation Rules file to/from a market via Excel
- Excel – New commands to set/clear named Automation Shared Stored Values from inside Excel
- Excel – New commands to assign/clear Guardian’s Nominated Selections from Excel
Further information about some of the features:
Ladder
The new options are highlighted in orange in this image – there are also a couple of new colour picklists on the Columns page.
When centring, you can choose to centre on the Back price, the Lay price or the Last Traded Price. You can also adjust that centre point up or down a defined number of ticks. Those options apply to both auto-centring and manual centring using a shortcut key.
Auto-centring can be switched off, be always on, or be applied only pre-off or only in-play. It can be triggered either by a price moving outside of the visible ladder or at a regular time interval. Note: To prevent the risk of a mispriced bet, a ladder will not auto-centre whilst the mouse cursor is hovering over it.
The Back & Lay column background options apply to the columns on the ladder that show money available to back or lay. The options will allow the best three prices to be distinguished from the rest of the prices and from prices with no money on offer.
Automation
Some of the changes mentioned in Key features are self-explanatory, but here is an example of the Stored Value groups to show the options available.
A group is started or ended using the special condition types at the top of the picklist
Every group must have a start and an end, you can nest them if required. The list on the left-hand side of the Automation Conditions page will indent to distinguish one level of grouping from another. As in previous versions, any conditions not contained in a group must all test ‘True’ for the rule to trigger.
The image below shows nested groups to achieve the following: For the rule to trigger, the market must be in-play and the selection in row 1 must be priced > 4.0 and any of the selections in rows 2 or 3 or 4 must be priced less than 1.85. You can see in the right-hand section of the image the various grouping options available. They represent AND, OR, NAND & NOR respectively.
Excel
Here is an example configuration of Excel settings to push two Shared Stored Values into the Additional column cells.
So the ‘Jockey name’ would be sent to column AF, ‘Trainer name’ to column AG, ‘Target’ stored value to column ‘AH’ and ‘Volume_Snapshot’ to column AI.
Syntax for new global commands (cell L6)
- to assign an Automation rules file: SET_AUTO <automation rule name>
- to clear it: CLEAR_AUTO
- to assign a stored value: SET_SV FOR:<MARKET|EVENT> NAME:<name> VALUE:<value>
- to clear a stored value: CLEAR_SV FOR:<MARKET|EVENT> NAME:<name>
Syntax for new selection commands (cells L9, L11, L13 etc)
- to set this selection as the first Nominated selection in Guardian: SET_NOMINATED1
- to clear it: CLEAR_NOMINATED1
- to set this selection as the second Nominated selection in Guardian: SET_NOMINATED2
- to clear it: CLEAR_NOMINATED2
- to assign a stored value: SET_SV FOR:< SELECTION|MARKET|EVENT> NAME:<name> VALUE:<value>
- to clear a stored value: CLEAR_SV FOR:< SELECTION|MARKET|EVENT> NAME:<name>
Notes when setting & clearing stored values
The FOR command is optional and defaults to MARKET when used as a global command and SELECTION when used as a selection command
The commands can be chained together to set multiple values in one go,
e.g.
- SET_SV FOR:SELECTION NAME:Test1 VALUE:42 NAME:Test2 Value:99 NAME:Test3 Value:200
- CLEAR_SV FOR:SELECTION NAME:Test1 NAME:Test2 NAME:Test3
