Steamer and Drifter Coloured Beacons - One-Click Screen Settings & Layout

[Dallas]

These settings files for your One-Click screen will display a coloured beacon in a custom column if a selection is steaming or drifting (blue if steaming or red if drifting)

This will help you identify if the selections are moving and in what direction, so when used your One-Click screen will look exactly like the image below were you can see the runner named 'Miss Calculation' has a red beacon next to it indicating it is drifting

During the final 20mins before the start each selection priced below 20.0 is monitored and if there is a movement of 5% in its book% (sometimes called IP%) from what it was 3minutes ago a beacon will appear next to the selections name, this will stay in place unless the price reverses and is now falls back within 3% of its book% 3 minutes ago.

Once a market goes in-play all beacons are cleared and will no longer be set, however while it is still pre-off another beacon can appear next to the same selection if it begins moving again in either the same or different direction (of course you are free to edit the times the beacons are active from/to and the book% movements required to trigger the beacons) detailed on how to do this are explained further down the post in the 'Editing Rules' section

NB; If you prefer to trade using the ladder screen there are ready-made files available for that to from the link below, the .baf rules file and .bavbcs colour settings file are the same as what is used above here, so you've already downloaded them here you won't need them again for the ladder screen, you'll just need the .bls ladder settings file
