Hi, is there a way of showing more detail on the ladder of amounts matched, instead of Thousands, maybe hundreds? Thanks in advance. Chris

what do you mean? if 5000 is matched do you want it to show 50 one hundreds?
if so why not show 5000 instead 50 one hundreds.?
or have i got the wrong end of the stick?

Hi, thanks for your reply. If say £270 was matched then say £270 instead of 0.1K

Thanks

i understand what you mean now and the answer is no.

ba displays matched volumes from 100 to thousands, thousands to tens of thousands, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, hudreds of thousands to millions, in a relatively small space.

it is far easier to read volumes if they abbreviated to the thousand "K" so 35K or 49.5k or 199.5k is a far more efficent use of space and easier to take in (easy on the eye) rather than 35021 or 49503 or 199508

hence when dealing with hundreds they need to become tenths of a thousand i,e 0.1k instead of 101 or 0.7k instead of 717.

in practice in most liquid markets such as horse racing; most trading would be done on the first 3 or 4 runners in most markets and macthed volumes such as 0.3k or 292 pounds for instance are rarely of any significance.

I'm not sure what this request might have looked like at Cheltenham today - if anything we might need a £M fraction instead of a £k

I think the BF chart shows the low and high. It does on my phone app anyway.
