Any plans to add this ? I trade alot of tennis. 2-3 matched in the same time and its impossible to trade using Guardian . Now I'm forced to use other software for this .

Out of curiosity, what software do you use for that?

Betfair limit the number of requests you can call in per second. Therefore if you open more and more windows the speed of refresh and data slows down by several factors when you open multiple windows. This is why Guardian is there. You can load many markets into Guardian and it cycles them at up to 200ms and a double click on Guardian jumps you straight to that market refreshing at full speed.

Can you explain why this is not satisfactory? No application allows you to refresh all windows at the same speed or else you would bust Betfair's data request limits.

If you can explain what you are looking for we can put it to the development team. But Guardian is an elegant solution to the issue as there is no limit to the number of markets you add to it and stops and other automated settings can be kept 'live' in Guardian as well.

I have also wanted to do this. I think the original poster (though I can't speak for them) wants to be able to actually see all of them in front of him at the same time. Sure you can load them all into guardian, which is great, but you cannot see all prices, you have to go into each or go through clicking on them individually in guardian, then clicking the odds tab at the bottom (unless I've missed something).

I would like to be able to see a multitude of markets like this image for example. (btw, if you aren't happy with me posting this image, please take it down once you have seen it BetAngel, I'm doing it purely to show what I mean, no malice intended.)

edit :- image didnt display how I'd like.. will re-up an image shortly.

Nero one way around it is to load the tennis markets you want to moniter into guardian and then link them to an excel sheet this allows you moniter the odds movements of up to 10 markets at once on one excel sheet - thats what I do anyway.

4 markets , all ready to be trade it . If an important point scored I'm ready in a split second get an order filled. On Guradian its just not enough time to trade 3,4 live tennis matches . Imagine how many seconds it takes to keep scroll matches to check price activity , then open the market , then check others , and so on.

I would definetly like to see this also, I am also happy if the overall connection speed can be adjusted so that -

a) shared between windows equally (basic)
b) whichever window I have in focus out of X gets the lion share of the updates (say X% of the connection) and the rest split the remainder and update slower

YKWIM, I am sure you guys could sort this out via settings etc so its bob on :)

Thanks

This would be great, I trade tennis and it sucks not being able to trade more than one game at a time.

In other software you can have all the windows/markets open in front of you.

Today I traded 3 matches at the same time, having 3 different ladders in front of me.

This would be great for betangel.
