Enhanced Ladder or All 3 Ladders?

Hi Guys

Just wondering how many traders use the enhanced ladder and focus on one horse or use the alternate mode and view all 3 ladders simultaneously. I've been using the enhanced ladder but think I might be missing an opportunity with being able to see 3 horses at the same time. With the 3 ladder view I miss seeing the matched bets in case I forget or miss what price I was matched at.

What do you reckon?

Sorry if this has been addressed before.

Hi K
I always leave all three up. The reason being the other two selections will (in the main) affect the other one. For example if two are trending (strongly) towards the bottom of their range and so is the other, then something needs to give. (Other combinations too)
You can use this in conjunction with the book % too.
(Search Adam Heathcote Blog for entry/exit points)
Good Luck,
regards
Peter

Hi Peter

Thanks for the reply. How do you see your previous matched bets during trading? I sometimes need to check what my entry price was and find with the 3 ladders view you can't see the matched bets easily. I suppose I could undock the logs tab but it's not immediately clear.

Cheers again

Scratch that last question, I can just undock the matched bet tab and use that on a different monitor - job done. Thanks again

I tend to use both. I have three ladders as a default intial display and then if I am looking close at the market and need a fill a couple of ticks away, or am on a swing trade I switch on the enchanced ladder. I flip between both on a regular basis as it's useful to use both to get a good picture of the market. The enchanded ladder is more useful in trending markets.
