Hi Forum,

I'm trying to develop my own spreadsheet using VBA in excel however i'm struggling to pick it up.

I'm after the increase in volume per horse per second. This means taking the live data feed figure eg £100, waiting 1 second
re-taking the live data feed figure now £150 and displaying the difference, in this case £50 was matched in the last second.

There is something completely wrong with the code I have and doesn't seem to work with the Betangel workbook.

So my question is, has someone already posted a spreadsheet with this capability?

Hello,

There is another user on here who is a wizard with excel & very generous with his help. I think his username is nigelk.

He has started a website that will walk you through what you need to know:

Talk of the devil... I've been making something similar to Coys request for the last couple of days

http://www.tradersandpunters.com/spreadsheet-test/

It was private but I'll make it available to get some feedback.
Columns A:G is general info about that particular race. Cols H onward focus on the runner who has the biggest trading range, min/max/BSP, the amount traded before 11:00 and how that amount was ranked out of all the £ traded on each horse, total pre off £ amount and where that horse was placed.

It only contains 3 months worth of data, but I'll add more over the next few days and re post it

There are some inconsistancies in the B/F data, you can see there is a PA Grp1 and also a Grp1 PA, I'm spotting these as I go and correcting where necessary.

Anyway, as mentioned, please let me know what you would find most useful from things like this.

Cheers,Nigel

The spreadsheet can capture whatever is the the BA sheet. It currently captures the back price (G9), all you haqve to do is to point it to G10, to get the amount available each time, then subtract one figure from the next in the data capture sheet.

Cheers,Nigel.

Ps. You can pm me the code if you want and I can see If I can help.
