Hi all,

I am having a play around with BA Trader in Practice Mode on the 14 day trial. Is there any reason why it doesn't show your stake amount in the ladders (white column)?

I am watching a few academy videos, in particular a simple trade explained in detail, where Peter is teaching a girl to trade, and I can clearly see her stake sizes being added to the ladder when she is clicking in the back and lay columns, which is a great help. Not having that simple feature makes it very confusing, trying to remember where your stakes are and at what price, especially for a new trader.
Hopefully its just a glitch that can be sorted. Or at the very lease is available in the Practice Mode with after buying a licence key for the software?

Thanks.

The Trader version shows your unmatched bets in practice and live mode (in trial and paid subscriptions) the same way as it does in the Pro version

Have you placed the bets including confirming them if you've still got the 'bet confirmation' message enabled?

This is quite possibly my error as I am literally at the randomly clicking around stage lol. I have turned off the confirmation message, and I can now see my unmatched bets showing as expected.
But when I click a price that has existing orders I don't see anything in the white column, but now I think about it, is this because its in practice mode and so my order doesn't sit in the queue like it normally would, and so is immediately matched?

An unmatched bet will still sit in a queue even in practice mode, on the banner next to 'odds display' set it to 'reverse'

The difference between normal and reverse odds display is explained in the following page of the user guide, and it effects where you click to place a bet

(reverse odds is used in all the videos and is the preferred view for most people)

:D :lol: :mrgreen: haha That's the one, perfect!
I am just working my way through the user guide now. I expect by this time next week I will be flying...

While I've got you here, could you tell me why my Greening Calculation button isn't greening up? I do a couple of scalps to get into the green on the first ladder, then I thought to "green up" across all runners (horse racing) I simply pressed the greening calc button. :?:

Thanks

To green up on the ladder screen you'd either click on the 'Trade Profit' column on that selections ladder (if wanting to do them individually)
Or to green up all trades with one click its the figure next to the scales icon you need to click
The scales icon also needs to be uncrossed for greening to be enabled
If crossed they will just 'close the trades' on all selections

I was pressing the scales, not the price next to it :)
I think that's enough for today. Thanks for all your help Dallas. Appreciated :ugeek:
