Display Market on a Trading Screen (Parameters)

 
When using the 'Display a Market on a Trading Screen' rule this parameters page will allow you to configure which market is opened by the rule and if it is to be opened in a new or existing ladder/one-click trading screen. There are also options to automatically moving your mouse cursor into the screen of the newly displayed market, trigger a Keyboard Shortcut on it and/or start a Servant.
Not only does this give you full control over what happens when and how your market is displayed, but you can also you can configure the exact timing this happens using the rule's trigger times and automation conditions.
 
 

Display Market in New Window

Lets start with something simple and open a market in a new One-click window when the rule triggers, as you can see in the image this is very simple and straight forward to set up
 
 
 
If you are trading multiple markets at once and have them displayed separate windows you can also instruct the rule to open a market in a specific numbered window, in the following image when the rule triggers it will open the market in your One-click window 2
 
 
 

Other Markets Types & Servants

In addition to the rule opening its own market you can also choose to search Guardian for another market type from the same event, for example if you had your rules file applied to the Man Utd V Everton 'Match Odds' market, when the rule triggers it could open any other market from that event (fixture), e.g. the Correct Score or an Over/Unders (providing you have previously added the market to Guardian).
 
In the next image the rule will open the Correct Score market and display it on the main ladder screen, when it opens it will also start a saved Servant named 'CS Scalper Servant' on that market.
 
 
If you have chosen to 'Start a Servant in the displayed market' and the Servant you have selected requires any context information the editor will detect this automatically and in the space below you'll be given the relevant options to configure the context 'Selection', 'Price' and 'Stake' Information.
These will be the same options that you would have available if starting the Servant manually via the 'Servant Manager' window.
 
In addition to using the context for the 'Selection', 'Price' and 'Stake' you will also be presented with the following options, most of these are self explanatory but below the image are details of what each does
                           
                                            Selection                                                                                                                                          Price                                                                                                                                               Stake
Selection
Row index in displayed market - Allows you to specify the Betfair row number for the servant to trigger on in the market which is displayed.
Position in the displayed market (sorted in order of favouritism) - Allows you to specify the selection by order of favouritism for the servant to trigger on in the market which is displayed.
Use this rule's current selection - Allows the servant to trigger on the same selection that this rule is applied to.
Use this rule's Servant Context - Allows the servant to trigger on the same selection as this rule was given as its Servant Context when it was started *
Selection ID held in a Stored Value - Allows the servant to trigger on the selection matching the selection ID held in a stored value.
 
Price
Entered Price - Allows you to set the price the servant will use as its Price Context when it starts.
Use this rule's Servant Context - Allows the servant to use the same Price Context as this rule was given when it was started *
Price held in a Stored value - Allows the servant to be given the price held in a stored value as its Price Context
 
Stake
Entered Stake - Allows you to enter the stake the servant will use as its Back & Lay Stake Contexts when it starts.
Use this rule's Servant Context - Allows the servant to use the same Stake Context as this rule was given when it was started *
Stake held in a Stored Value - Allows the servant to be given the stake held in a stored value as its Back & Lay Stake Contexts
 
*These options are only applicable when the 'Display Market on a Trading Screen' rule is run as part of a Servant, rather than being run as Guardian Automation Rules
 
Example
When the rule below triggers the market will open on the main one-click screen and the servant named 'ASC Back Bet with Multi Trigger Stop Loss' will be started
The context information used will instruct the servant to trigger on the favourite in the market and place its bets at a price held in a stored value named 'current_best_price' using a £15 stake
 
 
 

Move Mouse & Trigger Shortcut Key

 
When a market is displayed you can also choose to have Bet Angel automatically move your mouse cursor to a preset position within the window its opened by inputting a specified 'X' and 'Y' axis values.
X-Axis = Sets the horizontal position (in pixels) from top-left corner of the window.
Y-Axis = Sets the vertical position (in pixels) from top-left corner of the window.
 
NB; If using this option we'd recommend first setting the ladder/one-click windows you'll be opening to the size you require them at then saving it in a new Layout profile, otherwise your cursor could end up positioned in a different place to what you intended and not work when the rule triggers.
 
If you have created some shortcut keys with the keyboard shortcut editor to perform various actions when pressed, and want to invoke one of these actions when the market is displayed, for example sorting the selections in a specified order, or selecting a preset stake you can enable the 'Trigger a Keyboard Shortcut on the displayed screen' option and specify which shortcut key you want to trigger when the market is opened. Note: If the shortcut requires the mouse cursor location to give context then you may need to use the 'Move Mouse Cursor' feature.
 
In the next image the market will be opened on the main One-click screen and the mouse cursor will be positioned 200 pixels across and 500 pixels down in that window, it will also initiate the shortcut action which is assigned to the 'S' key
