These settings files for your ladder 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 which direction, so when used your ladder trading screen will look exactly like the image below were you can see the runner named 'Della Mare' 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 below 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


Ladder Settings
To use these ladder setting’s, click the 'Movers.bls' file below to download to your computer, then whilst on your ladder screen click the ‘Spanner’ icon and that will open the Ladder Settings editor, after that click the import button and browse for the downloaded file on your PC - then you can select that file as your Profile.

Rules File
You will also need to click on the 'Steam/Drift Beacon.baf' file below to download to your computer, once downloaded to your computer open Guardian and on the ‘Automation’ tab click ‘Import a Rules’ file, then each day just add your markets to Guardian and apply that rules file to them all.

Editing the Rules File
Once you have it imported into your Guardian you can edit any part of it very easily by clicking on "Edit Rules File".
Please refer to the 'Note' tab for each rule understand how each rule works and how it may be connected to other rules within the file

Colour Settings
Finally for the beacons to change colour you'll need to download and import the 'Value Based Colour Setting' file named 'Beacon.BAVBCS' and import it into your Value Based Colour Settings Editor, then select them as your 'Background' and 'Text' button colours.
To import them click the spanner icon in the highlighted area and that will open up the window you see in the second image

Can you clarify what specific ladder settings you're looking for with the Steamer and Drifter colored beacons? Happy to help with more details.

Don't think i've seen that particular error before

Which version of Bet Angel are you using? (Version number is in the top left corner of your screen and the bottom right corner of the blue login window)
Also try logging in with the factory default profiles and see if you can import the files that way

Hi Dallas,

I'm also getting the same error message, I have logged in with the factory default profiles and I am using Bet Angel Pro v1.62.0_b2

Any help appreciated

Looks like you have both been trying to import it as a custom column on the one click screen - that will throw that particular error message

It is a ladder settings file so needs importing into your ladder settings area as shown in the first image of the OP

Yep, that was the problem. Thanks very much for your help.

For reference this was the source of my confusion in the original post. That might also be leading walshy astray too.

Thanks for flagging that, I must of copy and pasted part of that text from a one-click settings topic, but I've just edited it so it now reads correctly
