Automation:
  • Enhancement to Automation Stored values:
    • Ability to set a stored value with information about the latest Matched Bet on a selection or the whole market
      • Information available is: Matched Price, Matched Amount, Bet Reference
  • Added a 'Not Equal' comparison option to the Stored Value condition
  • Automation's Favouritism sort (defined in Bet Angel Settings) can now sort by descending volume
  • New Automation Rule Types have been added to Take SP or Keep Unmatched bets based on their price rather than applying to all unmatched bets
  • Up/Down arrows added to the editor's Automation Conditions list
  • Conditions and Stored Values lists will increase in width as Editor is make wider, to make descriptions more readable without need to scroll

Market Overview (added as new menu items):
  • Ability to sync the market being displayed with the main trading screen (as previous versions), plus tracking the market under the mouse cursor, and syncing with the selected market in Guardian
  • Option to layout the screen into tab pages rather than an arrangement of panes
  • Option to auto-select the selections to be displayed on the chart by price or by quantity (e.g. only show runners from 1.01 to 20.0, or only show first five shortest priced runners).

v1.53.0 announcement:

We have tested this in alpha over the last few weeks and any bugs found have been fixed. We feel it’s ready for beta release to the community ahead of its formal public release.

As with all betas, please gain confidence with the version before using full stakes. If you spot any issues, please post them to this thread.

Following the success of Coupons in the last version, we have made a number of enhancements to make multi-market trading even easier.
Perfect for the new football season!


Key features of this version:
  • Quick Bet tickets – launch directly from Market Selection, Guardian or Watch List to quickly place a single bet (or green-up) without opening the full market
  • Unmatched Bets window – spawn extra windows to help manage your bets – can sync to the market under the mouse if required
  • Drag and Drop support to reuse Ladder/One-click/Quick Bet screens already placed on the screen or to switch the main screen’s market.
  • Extra options for the Event Filtering Picklist in the Watch List – makes it more context sensitive, allowing the list to dynamically filter as the mouse moves. E.g. showing related markets to the selected soccer match.
  • A new Automation condition for Tennis
  • A new Automation rule type to Checkpoint VWAP
  • More Keyboard Shortcuts
  • An update to the Soccer Mystic model to handle the recent liquidity shift in betfair’s goals markets
  • A few small changes based on customer requests


Further details:

Quick Bet tickets:

The concept of a Quick Bet ticket is that it's a small window that’s quick to launch that contains the essentials for placing and managing a single bet on any market/selection. Once placed, the bet will be tracked and if it is unmatched, the bet can be adjusted from the same window. When launched from a screen containing a price (e.g. Watch List or Guardian odds pane), the price of the bet and the back/lay type will be pre-filled in the ticket. The stake will default to Bet Angel Settings default stake, but your Ladder’s preset stakes are available for quick selection by right-clicking in the stake box. A Quick Bet ticket can also be launched via a new keystroke.

To open a Quick Bet ticket, use the right-click menu on a market in the Market Selection tree or on any of the markets loaded into Guardian or a Watch List. You can also click any price on Guardian's Odds pane to launch a ticket.

Note: Global settings & Servants do not apply to a Quick Bet ticket, but you can spawn the market in full via the toolbar if required.

The selection to be used on the ticket can be changed via the toolbar. The toolbar also includes: a countdown timer, an in-play indicator, a green-all button and a button showing the total number of unmatched bets in the whole market (pressing that will spawn an unmatched bets window)

Some options to configure the Quick Bet ticket have been added to the Behaviour tab of Bet Angel Settings

If you want to place additional bets, there are various options to reuse the screen including using drag & drop.


Unmatched Bets window:

The unmatched bets window from the main screen has been replicated in a standalone tool so that you can manage bets in any market without switching the main screen. You can launch this tool from: the Watch List, the Market Selection trees, Guardian’s market list, Quick Bet tickets and via a new keystroke. As with most tools, the size and position of these windows can be saved in a Screen Layout profile. Used in conjunction with the ability to sync to the mouse cursor, you could have the tool permanently pinned on the screen to always show any unmatched bets associated with the market currently under the mouse.


Drag and Drop:

For many years Guardian has been able to accept markets dragged on to it from market selection, but we’ve now significantly increased the support for Drag & Drop. Pick any market from a market selection tree, from Guardian’s market list or from a Watch List and drop them on any of the trading screens to switch to that market. In the case of spawned tools such as ladder, one-click or quick bet windows, then dropping on a market will reuse that screen with the new market – much easier than having to close the window and respawn it. From Guardian’s Odds pane or the Watch List, drag from the selection’s name and drop it on to a ladder column to switch to the market and change the ladder to that specific selection.

If you drop a market onto the toolbar buttons for Tennis Trader, Soccer Mystic, Market Overview or In-play Trader, then that tool will be launched as part of the market switch.

If you don’t wish to use Drag & Drop, it can be disabled via the Bet Angel Settings (Behaviour tab).


Watch Lists’ Event Filtering Picklist:

The filtering picklist at the top of the Watch List now contains the following options:
  • Show only the event selected in Guardian
  • Show only the event that is on the main trading screen
  • Show only the event under the mouse cursor
  • Show only the market selected in Guardian
  • Show only the market that is on the main trading screen
  • Show only the market under the mouse cursor
We envisage that these will be used to have a dynamic Watch List alongside your normal trading (or alongside other Watch Lists). For instance it could be used to show in a small display the price of all runners in the horse race you are currently trading. Or in the case of football where you’ve used a Coupon to load hundreds of markets into a Watch List, you could use it to zone in on just the markets relating to the specific match you have clicked on in Guardian. Of course, from that reduced set of markets on display you can still use the usual Watch List functionality to launch other windows for trading or quick bets or as a source for Drag & Drop.


Automation Rules Editor changes:

The new 'Tennis Completed Set Score' Automation Condition has been added to allow you to test how many games one of the completed sets has been won or lost by.

Following customer requests, a new Automation Rule Type to 'Checkpoint VWAP' has been added – when triggered all VWAP calculations will be reset and will be re-calculated using new volume at prices from this point onwards.


Keyboard Shortcuts:

Up / Down arrows have now been added to the shortcuts editor, not only for the cosmetic reason of keeping your shortcuts organised, but also to control the order of processing when multiple actions have been assigned to the same keystroke. In that situation, they are processed from the top of the list downwards.

New keyboard shortcuts have been added to:
  • 'Select All' and ‘Press Add’ on the ‘Select’ & ‘Search’ pages of Guardian. When combined its now possible to assign a key to search, select and add all found markets to Guardian with a single keypress.
  • Display a new Quick Bet ticket
  • Display a new Unmatched Bets window

Other Enhancements:

Betfair charts & Advanced charts now remember which screen launched them, so when syncing by 'Market' or 'Ladder x', the chart will correctly switch markets when the launch screen is given a new market. i.e. These windows have always synced properly with the main trading screen, but now a chart can be linked to a spawned one-click/ladder and update with whatever market is assigned to them. Particularly useful with the drag & drop screen reuse changes.

A ‘Starting Price’ option has been added to the Guardian Automation Favouritism Sort ( in the Automation area of Bet Angel Settings )

VWAP has been added as a Preset Additional Information item for the Ladder & One-click custom columns. Selection’s First name has also been added to these sections.

Thanks for that. How did you go with recording matched bets as a SV? :

OK, if the matched price rather than the amount is what's important then that does reduce the significance of the partial filling issues.

When placing bets inplay with a significant inplay delay (such as tennis or football) you can easily get matched at a better price than you expected, so I can see the value of just knowing the price the last bet was matched. We'll look into adding that as a Stored Value feature."

Yes - when you execute the rule, all traded volumes on all selections in the market at that point are stored and removed from the calculation - so only new traded volume from that point onwards will be used to calculate the VWAP. As a side effect VWAP will be 0.0 immediately after Checkpoint until the first bit of volume arrives, so it's worth waiting a few seconds after checkpoint before using VWAP in an Automation condition. Either that or also add a VWAP > 0.0 condition as part of the rule.

That's still in development at the moment and wasn't ready for this build, but it is being worked on.

Thanks - we've fixed the scrollbar and patched the build, so if you download and install again from the link in the first post, that window should behave properly.

Hi,

Can we have the conditions box on the left expanded so we can see our conditions without scrolling as there seems to be allot of empty unused free space on the right of the screen ?

Thanks,
