I really like the new practice mode.

Just a small suggestion.

It would be good if you could start out with a hypothetical bank (which you could reset whenever you want). That would enable people to see how they fared over the course of a day's trading.

Yes good idea but there must be a reminder built in to say it is Practice mode as you can get mixed up quite easily unless you have no funds

Doesn't BA have a yellow header (or another colour) when in practice mode.

I would agree that setting 'a bank' would be a good idea, but there is nothing wrong with a pen and a piece of paper. Plus, a bit of mental arithmetic to figure out limits etc

Nice idea but given the complexity of Bet Angel it would take a lot of implementation, we would prefer to continue work on new features. Multiple markets, being traded and settled at multiple times means we would need to store the P&L and look back retrospectively at the settlement, P&L's and results. That adds another whole layer of complexity to things! A pen and peice of paper should suffice for the moment or somebody could easily create a spreadsheet which could track it I guess via the Excel link?
