First time using BA, £2.5k profit...some questions...

[Thehulk]

(BTW Peter it's Mreuro, I was going to email you directly but thought I would stick some feedback up here).

So not used BA for a long time...probably 5-7 years, not sure, even then I never used it for more that simple testing.

Giving it ago again and certainly a nice start for £2.5k in my first market.

Some comments on having used BA:
1. Last trade size - is it not possible to see the last trade size or a list of trades for a market. In the heat of battle I dont want to be using my processing power interpreting charts. Can the last trade not flash with trade size as well as colour?

2. Ladder instances - More than 1 ladder open at once without running two instances? Guardian helps of course but not ideal. 1 ladder is probably fine for horse traders, which I'm not.

3. What did I buy or sell? - I am finding it rather difficult to identify what I have just traded and at what price. Yes I can look at the "matched bets" pop out and quickly add up 10-20 lines and prices to get an idea, but again this is processing power I want to use elsewhere. Is there anywhere that gives me a quick snapshot of what has just happened? What went through, what price? I'm thinking a summary box of that trade.

4. Countdown timer - Would be nice to have a countdown timer before the trade is entered into the market 8...7...2...1.. Main reason behind this is to know that BA has accepted the bet and placing it in the market. If you are tabbed on something else I find myself double clicking on a market to get the trade registered.

5. VPS servers - where are they located? Dublin next to Betfair or?

Will post more feedback later.

Cheers.

I presume you are a big trader, that PW knows. Why the change back after 7 years?

I also would like to see last price that hits the market matched as I don't see what I see else where.

Also would be interested in point 5.

VPS is via tagadab and based in London, apparently but I was once given an IP from them in Wales...
