+1 Shaun.
would be useful to have a v2.x wishlist Thread or more to the point, a serious mandate of features that users felt were either missing currently or functionality that the majority could agree were crucial to driving the platform forward into the next battlegound. obviously, such a thread would have a distinct lack of BA input as this would give away strategic adantage. but merely having a single point of contact with user wishes may help to drive forward such change(s).
Amounts On Offer To Be Matched

Thx BetScalper, v kind.

And I thank him for that (It can't be done) excellent advice.
Yep, Excel and BA can chat to each other more than most people realise I think, 'nuf said eh
I think this was the method I came up with..

We have actually re-written the code base quite a few times, but don't talk about it much as people are interested in features rather than the underbelly and it would give away some of the stuff we work on. So, for example, streaming required a complete re-write which expanded the capabilities significantly, but we did it in a manner that would allow us to keep improving the product.
So we are always looking quite far ahead in terms of feature sets when we do such work.
The key thing on your side is that as a team we are reliant on working really hard to stay one step ahead of the market and others, so we will always be thinking like that. We intend to be around for many years to come.

So, Peter, while your hear. Do you think you will consider this request in a further release ?, maybe as an xmas present. I am more than willing to make a donation to your favourite charity or sending a bottle of single malt to BA HQ etc.
My mum always said bribery gets you nowhere but my nan said it was the only way she could get my grandad to marry her and swore by it.

I figured you'd be thinking like that, I was just mindful of your budget and the how the quick wins can nibble away at it. The last thing I'm doing is knocking how it's holding up in the present climate, whoever does your coding is earning every penny, and earning you every penny tooEuler wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 3:14 pmSo we are always looking quite far ahead in terms of feature sets when we do such work.

I'm just waving the flag for developers there, without them the guys earning big bucks wouldn't be earning big bucks, something I always used to mention loudly around xmas bonus time! Mine always had a few zeros missing compared to the guy who just pressed the buttons I'd put on his screen
it would be REALLY useful to have SV's that reflected the size of the orders at the current price plus the 3 prices (back and lay) either side in automation. this would allow the automation to make a better informed decision about whether to join the fray or not.mcgoo wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 8:32 amAs an "automatotron" the attached shows ..I think...why this could be useful . The money at lay_price 1..(2.9) sat there for a full minute...and it had already moved up once or twice.It appeared to be spoof money but not "scared" to keep driving the market higher.My bot happened to catch it and sat just above it but the price obviously could have easily gone the other way if it was pulled.It would be great to be able to track this sort of stuff and create SV's or signals for when Lay_price 2 &3 are tiny in comparison.
another potentially useful metric would be to have some sort of STRENGTH index on the current price. this index would potentially be a simple positive or negative number that indicated the mean number of timesthat this price had been hit and then gone onto to shorten or drift. an example might be (in the example above) that the price had hit 2.9 odds 5 times. 3 times it had shortened from there and twice it had drifted. the index would reflect (based on current orders in the market) the liklihood of it going either way again.
might be a tough call to guarantee of course, but with a caveat emptor warning, might be useful...
