Thanks, we'll have a look at that. Did you notice what was written to the Log page of Bet Angel for that closure bet?

Great stuff - I've updated to v1.46.0 today and will advise if any untoward or adverse results are found.

I would love it if some In-play Trader updates could also be considered:

1) Could the selections be right justified from the winning post (would make choosing the correct selection/odds line easier in the heat of battle)

2) Could the selection be made to be 'active' with customisable odds integrated with Left click Back, Right-click Lay choice (you could choose custom odds for each selection - would make fastest finger opportunities easier)

3) Could the market selection order be customisable? (there are many markets I play that have selections in the list that CANNOT win ie they are not on the field of play) and as such get in the way of seeing the desired selection, at which time it's often then too late and the opportunity is missed.

If any of these haven't been explained well enough, please do ask :)

This is an interesting point. I spend quite a bit of time in practice mode, and even had my account restricted because of it. It was unblocked once i explained i was using bet angel and ive since increased my live trading activity (by a very small amount). Your comment suggests this version may suit my needs and reduce the likelyhood of me upsetting betfair. Would you agree with this assessment?

Kind Regards,

Peter

We'd still recommend that you place live bets from time to time as although streaming places less stress on the betfair servers, they could still accuse you of harvesting price data and restrict your account if you don't place real money bets and generate commission.

Megarain, that log looks fine, so it must just be the status bar message that needs the runner name added - we'll have a look at that.

An update my previous post:

2) Could the selection name be made to be 'active' and integrated with the in-play trader settings in the same way as the odds line is - this would make fastest finger opportunities easier.

This would work especially well with the 'Custom ticks outside best market price' setting

When I do this the message on the Bet Angel screen that usually shows Responsiveness to calls in milliseconds changes to showing connection status but the message shows as [Stopped] occasionally but only briefly it shows [Connected].

Is this change in type of message display expected?
And if so and because I'm in Australia, does this mean I'm better off not using exchange streaming or is there some other communication setting I can change?

As fdar as you know, is there any downside to using the BetFair Exchange Streaming option?

It should be 'Stopped' until you first select a market, at which point it'll subscribe to that market first saying 'Connected' and then 'Streaming'.

We see no reason why it wouldn't work from Australia, but let us know if you are unable to see the 'Streaming' indicator having selected a market.

It's not clear what you mean by this. Could you raise this in the Suggestions section of the forum and provide as much detail as possible so that we can look at the implications of the idea and others can +1 the thread if they like it.

We need to keep this thread dedicated to the beta release and any bugs that are discovered.

No downsides that we know of - once fully tested I would expect everyone to want to use Streaming.

When running at 20ms in guardian and then automatically switching to the one click screen which is set to 200ms which setting is it using?

When streaming, the prices will arrive from betfair as soon as they change regardless of the setting. Guardian will be cycling through each of its markets spending 20ms on each. The main screen will ensure it is refreshed from the current prices every 200ms.

So the answer is... it depends:

If you only had five markets in Guardian, and loaded one of those markets into the main screen, then the Guardian cycle would be the fastest refresh and the market would update about once every 100ms ( 5 x 20ms ), however if you had more than ten markets in Guardian then the 200ms refresh of the main screen would be the fastest updater for that market ( because the overall Guardian cycle rate would be greater than 10 x 20ms... > 200ms ).
