Hi All,

What I am looking for is a program that acts as a bot and gives me the possibility to "see" the historical price movements of the match/horse race before making a bet.

I am now on the 2nd day of a 14 day trial of the Bet Angel program and has hopes that in that time be able to know if I kan use the Bet Angel - Guardian as a bot for my Betfair betting.

What I mean is that I need Guardian (or excel) to know what the back/lay prices was 5/10/15/20 minutes ago. I have some small knowledge of VAB and databases and have been working with Excel to solve it, but it seems to not be a quick and easy solution for me at this time.

But beeing new to this program, perhaps I am missing the easy solution?

Is there an easy way to solve this in Gurardian?

Or perhaps some one has already made an excel template that takes care of it - and is willing to share it?

Thanks in advance for all input.

(ps - have tried searching the forum - but found nothing about it)

There is a great spreadsheet in the spreadsheet section which allows you to record historical data. I think it only does it in seconds over a couple of minutes, but that's probably what you are looking for.

Thanks, I will have a look at the spreadsheets section.

Just to make sure I have understood it correctly - When creating a new Rule in Guardian, there is no possibility to add a Condition that makes comparison on historical price or volume movements?

For me it´s a fundamental piece of data when to decide on a bet, so I am surprised to not see it in the "Conditions" drop down.

I am sure we could add this into Guardian automation, I don't think anybody has requested it before. Put a post in the suggestions are and it will be noted for a future release.

Why not set an interval of 5 minutes on the BA chart, so that each price bar you see equates to a 5 minute period?

It's a great job but it seems he has a problem. Anyway if you have some knowledge and you can fix it, and want to share with us ... I am interested and I thank you! ;)
Download BetAngel_Record_datav2.zip where you can customize the time (5min..etc)
I think what you want to do, is an excellent example.
