"CLOSE_TRADE closes the open trade on this runner using the current net stake"

- This doesn't mean with greening, right?
That's correct, it just looks at the net stake on the runner (total of matched back bets minus the total of matched lay bets), and places either a back or lay bet to ensure the same stake has been placed on both sides.

By 'single position' do you mean you wish to close and green-up just a single bet reference or would you be happy to close and green-up any open positions on that single runner? The latter would be easier to implement and more reliable to use.

Thanks for your reply. The latter would be totally sufficient for me.

Another issue:

If an Order gets filled after(!) a Cancel Command for an, until then unmatched order,has been transmitted with Excel, Excel currently does not get the information that this order was matched finally. As concequence my Excel-Bot has an open position he does not know about..

Could you think of any way to exclude this case?
Maybe some check up after the transmission of the Cancel Command or after the "Cancel-OK", about the status of this bet ref?

I would also propose that cells P-S remain filled after the Cancel-"OK" appears in the status-cell.It would be helpfull for Order management in Excel, to still have the Bet Ref. after the Order was canceled successfully.
(I used the "Cancel_All" Command for single positions so far, just tested once with "Cancel" to see if cells P-S are also deleted after the "OK" - they are).

Cheers,
Darko

Just had an idea how the last issue I posted could be solved:

If the cells P-S would not be cleared after the Cancel-OK, a "Get Bet" or "Status_Check" command could return the matched-data for odds,stake and time.

People would be able to use "AND(L9="Cancel";O9="OK")" as a trigger for a macro with this "Get Bet"-Command. This could ensure that Excel does not miss a matched bet I think.

The version you're currently using can perform a bet status check - if you enter any bet reference into column R it'll look up the matched stake and average odds and populate columns P & Q. We don't touch the Time (column S) as the bet may have been filled in chunks over a period of time so no single timestamp would be correct.

The facility is really there to give you an ongoing update of the state of an unmatched bet following placement, but you could borrow the facility to lookup the state of any bet on the market at any time.

It makes sense not to clear the cells in columns P to S following cancellation so that you continue to get the bet status update without having to store and re-enter the bet reference.... I'll ask development to modify the behaviour in the next build.

That's even better. :D

Many Thanks, columns P to S now also remain filled after cancellation :)

Installation issue:
Thanks for upgrading further and adding more Excel functionality. I am sure, it will prove very interesting and look forward in playing around with it.
Problem is, I am already thrown back at trying to install the version: Upon running the MSI installer, it gives me a pop up saying "The system cannot open the device or file specified" and upon cancelling then "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may be indicate a problem with this package. [Ha ha - would have guessed so ;-)]. The error code is 2755". And upon a bit of googeling: "I have found that this is a common error when the installer resides on an encrypted volume." - see "http://greystork.com/content.php?id=93". This would hold true for me, my computer has an encrypted hard drive.

Never have experienced this error with previous versions. Might this be something because of the beta version or because you have used a new installer tool kit?

Cheers, Fidibus

We haven't seen that before. Does it install properly if you run the installer from an unencrypted drive (perhaps using an USB memory stick if your hard disc is completely encrypted) ?

With the memory stick the installation works fine. Thanks :-).

Mainly that it traps an API call that was failing. Worth upgrading if you were using the previous beta.

BA
Just wanted to give some feedback...

The latest version has been rock solid, no issues whatsoever.
The transaction counter is great and saves the odd transaction charge (All helps the bottom line!).

The new "GREEN_ALL" command has achieved something that I spent many an hour trying to code; it's fantastic and works a treat...(this in my opinion is something that sets BA from the competition)

Here's to the next version! :D
Regards
Peter

Is it my imagination or have charts started loading by runner number rather than by price in the market? I am nearly positive I used to just leave the same 3 charts open and switch market, with the top 3 runners by price always appearing in these open charts... rather than having to open and close new ones all the time :?
