GLOBAL SETTINGS - more features Key Benefit : Easy selection of important functions like stop losses, offset orders, automatic greening, trailing stops, fill or kill orders, etc. Rather than un-intuitive and non descript icons each function in Bet Angel is headed with global functions that you can apply to each market if you wish. Or you can switch the global functions off. The global functions allow to you set common tasks and functions such as tick offsetting stake variation, fill or kill, stops and trailing stops. Each one can be switched on or off for each market. Using the global settings you can set how the program automatically responds and manages your positions in the market. Use off setting to instantly place a counter order in the market 'in the money' to ensure you have the best possible chance of closing out a profitable trade. Use the automated stop loss or trailing stop to make sure you exit a position the minute it starts to go against you. The fill or kill feature means you can ensure you don't leave money in the market or have an unfilled order and can also place speculative orders out of the money . Automatic and trailing stop losses also allow you to trade effortlessly in the market knowing that if you position goes against you, your position will be closed in a flash and in a manner that will not place false orders in the market. For the first time in ages you will be able to open a position in the market and walk away from your screen. You can even place fill or kill orders in the market speculatively, get Bet Angel to hold them there and then get Bet Angel to decide what to do with the order once you timed order has expired. The make market function instantly takes both sides of the book to ensure you can profit in flat markets.
Key Benefit : Effectively manage your risk in the market. Using too much or too little money in the market can ruin the best strategy. By switching on the auto staking Bet Angel will automatically manage your stakes to allow you to target set profit targets per trade. This will allow you to very carefully manage your risk in the market while maximising your profit potential and exposure to risk.
Key Benefit : Get in and out of the market in a flash with one click with manual or automated order management functions. Using this feature you can nip in and out of the market with ease using one click trading and a host of complementary features. Popular with scalpers, this screen combines some basic functions with some very powerful features enabling you to nip in and out of the market with the ease and it allows you to place counter orders or exit your positions in a flash well before people with more basic interfaces get the chance. In this area you can also use the greening up button to equalise your profit or equalise your losses to ensure you don't lose or ensure a winner in the next event even before the event has got underway.
Key Benefit : Trade multiple markets simultaneously and automatically. Can't be in two places at once? You can with Bet Angel's multi market functionality. Trade multiple soccer, horse or other sports events simultaneously using the same powerful features that you have already heard about. Bet Angel will hold orders in the market across multiple markets or events and carefully manage all of your timed fill or kill, stop loss and offsetting orders, all at once, in each market. No need to start up multiple copies or miss out on interesting markets. Each market and open position has a running total of open and closed bets and current status.
Key Benefit : Easy to use click, drag and drop interface which allows you to see full market depth, charting and trade history on one screen. This function provides a 'financial markets style' laddered trading interface. This displays the selected market using a vertical display of odds rather than the traditional horizontal display and includes trade history and streaming charting. This gives you more flexibility in the way that you see and interpret information in the market and is the preferred choice for certain types of users. Orders are entered into the market with one click and they can be dragged dropped and cancelled using the mouse. Shear simplicity! All the full order management features available elsewhere in Bet Angel are also applicable in this format as well as being able to see full market depth and where total matched bet volume is in the market. Stop losses, greening up, fill or kill orders and other automation are all applicable. You can also undock and use all other functions in conjunction with this screen.
Key Benefit : Take the emotion out of your trading and get orders in and out of the market faster than a human operator. Sometimes the human eye and hand is not enough and sometimes human emotion can easily stop you from opening or closing a position correct. Use the triggered betting mode to get into the market incredibly quickly to pick up opportunities that others may not see. You don't need any programming skills or specialist knowledge on this screen, just set up the rules and let Bet Angel do the rest. Take the emotion out of your trade by getting Bet Angel to fire an order automatically into the market and then manage that position automatically as well. Fire orders into the market when the price or volume on either side of the book reaches your predefined level. Use global settings to fire in counter orders and manage what happens once the triggered betting has fired your initial order into the market.
Key Benefit : Don't guess where the market is going, see where it is going with streaming price and weight of money charts. The charting screen brings remarkable trading tools to your desktop. Using the unique streaming charting facilities, you can now view advanced trading information right in front of your eyes and and then use a variety of one click betting tools to take a position. If you are watching highly liquid and volatile markets then use the charts to monitor price moving averages as they sweep across the screen surrounded by the unique price predicting 'price envelope'. Unique volume and weight of money indicators also plot the amount of money entering the market. This data allows you to see where the money is going in the market, if momentum is building and it also allows you to see if unusual orders are entering the market. Watch for 'volume spikes' and other activity so you can time your trading to perfection. All the charts setting are user definable not only in terms of general settings but also in terms of colours used. The charting is perfect for timing your entry in and out of the market and keeping an eye on general market activity. When unusual orders hit the market you will see them clearly on the charting screen. Not only that you will see the affect they have and be able to take action on them.
Key Benefit : Use a mixture of manual and advanced order management functions to carefully place orders in the market. Green or red up with customer rather than automatic amounts of money. There are times when you don't need or want to automate your actions in the market. The manual bet area gives you the flexibility of Bet Angel but allows you to manage the position and price at which you enter the market. You can mix and match manual betting with some of the automated facilities on Bet Angel. If you see something trading at 3.40 why not place an order in the market at 3.45 and see if it gets matched? Not only that but ask Bet Angel to hold it there for a predefined period and cancel the order if it does not get filed. You can get Bet Angel to automatically offset you bet or apply stop losses and other characteristics to these bets. Or you could just place a boring old normal bet in the market. Use the manual greening to partially offset your profits from one selection to another or to green up multiple profitable positions either fully or partially. If you have a loss you can spread part or all of that loss across the book also.
Key Benefits : Back part or sections of the field to a pre-defined profit target in total or by selection, manually or automatically. Perform book arbitrage. The very clever dutching tab allows you to take the back side of the book and back parts of a market to achieve a profit define by either a profit target (e.g. £10) by a percentage or to the minimum stake required. Or by excluding certain selections or outcomes you can achieve a preset profit target allowing you to maximize you position taking on an entire event. Or why not perform book arbitrage by asking bet angel to back the entire book when the book % value slips under 100%. Special functions like the margin maker allow you to quickly and easily make a market by backing one or more selections and letting bet angel calculate what price the remain selection you should be priced at. This is a powerful function. Use the autobet capability to hunt for a % or monetary profit target. Bet Angel will monitor the market and only fire your series of bets into the market when your profit target is met .Profit targets can also be set by individual runner, allowing you to zero out or specify specific profits individually.

The clever bookmaker screen allows you to take the lay side of the book and lay parts of a market to achieve a profit defined by either a profit target (e.g. £10) by a percentage or to the minimum stake required. By pricing certain selections or outcomes you can achieve a preset profit target allowing you to maxmise you position taking on an entire event. Or why not perform book arbitrage by asking bet angel to back the entire book when the book % value goes over 100% on the lay side.
