Hi, the ladder is the most common interface for trading; if you open up a market and switch to the ladder screen you will see all the money available to
back the selection on the left hand side, and on the right the money available to lay it at each odd. It shows how much money is available at each price point, how much has been traded and where it has been traded since the market opened.

It allows you to place a bet by simply clicking on one of the price points, so if the current odds are 1.91/1.92 and you want to back at 2.02, you would simply click on the back side of the column at 2.02 and your money would be added to the queue for layers to take if the price ever goes higher.

You can only 'take' a price that's at the point where the back price meets the lay price, otherwise you have to 'ask' for a better one.

It would take a long time to explain everything in minute detail, if you bought Bet Angel you'll have a user guide with all the specifics inside. Go to Youtube and look for Bet Angel TV, there's plenty of videos that involve using the ladder, and then fire up practice mode and get a feel for how it works.

It is vital to learn how to use the ladder to trade, so don't be put off by all the information!

Hope this helps :)
