Showing Predicted Profit

[pickles]

Hi,

Complete Noob here! I may be being completely blind but I'm cannot seem to see the following anywhere....

Is there a way to show an updated predicted profit when you trade on something you have already traded on (before you actually making the 2nd trade)?

For example in Betfair itself when you back or lay a selection, beneath that selection is the Profit / Loss, should that event happen e.g

Man Utd
£10

When you select another trade on that market afterwards the details of P&L get updated and displayed e.g:

Man Utd
£10 >> £9.63

I can only seem to get Betangel to update the P&L after the trade is made. Is there a way it can be done before?

Thanks!

I would prefer to have my commission (5 %) deducted from the
"what if" figure before placing a bet, I know 2.06 is evens but it's a pain in the ass with all the other odds!

Yeah that would be good as well. Do you know if a 'what if' functionality is possible within the software? Or do we have to use Betfair itself to do those calculations?

We do have the trade calculation and profit column on the ladder, but that only works with existing positions rather than future ones.
