Separate matched amount for back and lay prices

[doctor143]

Hi Experts,

How can I retrieve separate matched volumes for back and lay at the same price?

For example:

At 1.05–1.06, matched amounts are:
1.05 → 1000
1.06 → 2000

When the market moves to 1.06–1.07, it shows:

1.06 → 2000
1.07 → 0

However, I want to distinguish:

Matched volume at 1.06 when it was a lay price
Matched volume at 1.06 when it later becomes a back price

Is there a way to track this separately?

As far as I know you would have to do this manually. eg Create your own stored value called something like "1.06 lay vol" that increases by the amount of volume changed at 1.06 but only whenever the lay price is 1.06.

Are you suggesting I need to create back lay volume for all the prices? From 1.01 to 1000?

Depends what you are trying to do. If you are only tracking a couple of prices then it's easily doable, but if you want lots or all then the juice may well not be worth the squeeze.

For now, I’m simply trying to compare whether more volume is being matched on the back side or the lay side of a given market.

There are many potential use cases for this functionality, and I believe it would be a valuable feature for Bet Angel to consider adding.

Volume matched on the back side will always equal volume matched on the lay side because a match only happens where these two prices meet.
