Trading is about to Change

[Covrich]

No release date was forth coming. So I will throw my hat into the ring with my suggestion.....(imagine James Bond walking into Miss Moneypenny's office and throwing it at the hat stand) ....here we go.

I think it is Multiple Offsets in Global.

Presently, you can only offset your opening trade once via number of ticks or a percentage of the opening price. I think the update could allow mulitple offsets so, example:

I lay Horse A at 2.00 for £100 - offsets are activated in £20 batches at predefinded stakes of £20 @ 2.5, 3.0 & 4.0 instead of the current sinlge offset option of 3.5 (example). This would offer you the opportunity to make a larger profit from the same risk if say your initial laybet was a £100 lay at 2.0. Discuss....your offsets could be at 5.0 7.0 & 10 if you wanted them.

That I would like!!

Surely that is hardly a game changer, if it is I'm gonna cancel my BA sub just out of protest

Touché

I agree it would be not necessarily be a game changer I just would really like and use it!!

I have no idea really what a gamer changer would realistically be.

I would really like a "I have changed my mind" button

You can do the above, in other API software (for about 3 yrs, if memory serves).

i think as long as the hype hasn't been overdone, then a game changer would literally present itself as a quantum step forward (something not offered by the competition) in offering opportunity to find new edges in the market(s). additional features certainly wouldn't be classed in that way - a functional approach that maybe used a little machine learning would.

Name this software then ....

I'd love to see an advanced ladder, where individual orders can be seen alongside - that really would be game-changing. But I'm not sure if Betfair release this kind of data

[megarain]

People ask so nicely.

You can do it, via the custom column (global master column command).

I am not going to name the software, on a rival website.

We just need Dallas to come in to throw us some in the know gossip.

One of my screens has died today and BA still tries to display on it...i hope that's changed cos I can't drag some of my windows into view.

[Westerner]

I did guess previously that it would be a binary ladder but....

my new guess is that you can place orders from advanced charts a but like you do with financial software packages.

Would simply be a click on the chart at the price you want and off it goes. Could also add limits/stop losses to wherever you want.

now, that definitely would make a huge difference, especially if coupled with VWAP etc.

I'm hoping the new chap icon is a discipline monitor. Checks what I am doing and shouts various things i.e. "Stop being a twat Rich!", "Wrong way dickhead!", etc.

This little guy is Jonnyg, you click on the image during a football match and he gives you 68 pages of early goal metric / survival analysis Sorry, I just had to say it.

If that were the case it would have to have a close button that just spawned more copies of the same stuff.
