Hi All
I'm enjoying the new version 1.35 and have finally got round to adjusting the setting connections to suit.I have set BA up trading one market with two ladders however when i want more ladders open the data request has to buffer as too many requests are being made.So as Peter has given us the scope to add more ladders how can we display them and be able to trade when the data requests are exceeded? no point in reducing the data requests as that's the whole point of having several ladders!( i notice in the training video on the new ladder format that peters data was over the 20?) Am i missing something?
Thanks
Jon

that link dosen't help - ive seen that one ages ago.But thanks anyeway.I want to know how you can have several ladders active or markets in the watch list and have then all running to a max of 19 requests per minute? i don't think you can as you would have to divide that 19 into the number of markets/ladders active.
example:
two ladders open for tennis match with nice smoothing and data requests at 17 p/s.Brilliant,so far but then add another five active in play matches to gardian and have them displayed on the waych list and... oh now your buggered as the requests go red and buffer at 19!
So if you want to watch several markets in guardian which peter expained you could - you can't because the main match your trading is now buffering - so you have to adjust it all back to lower data requests which negates tha whole point of updating the communications tab!
Also what happens to your second BA running on another pc as a back up - does that mean that the data requests are now exceeded?
Am i right or have i missed something?
Thanks

Betfair limit you to 20 data request a second, but you can exceed that if you want to, you just may be charged if you don't generate enough commission.
On Bet Angel you can tweak the comms to flex to what is most important to you. Do you want prices to update quickly, full market depth, unmatched bets? If you slow any of those down you leave more calls for more important items. If you want you can get the P&L calculated locally that will also save you more calls.
But, everything involves calling Betfair so we have been clever in the way we process information. If you are active on a ladder then that refreshes at that underlying rate on Bet Angel, but if you have guardian running, that cycles, or if you have watch lists or spawned ladders they refresh at a slower rate so it reduces the calls. But if you move your mouse over them then they jump to the fastest speed based on your comms settings.
