Is there a facility which shows volume of bets in previous 60 seconds.

thanks

The recent traded volume on the ladder screen can highlight what prices/volume has been traded in a recent period, but if you just want a figure for the market/selection you can record this using stored values and display on your ladder/one-click screen.

It's probs worth me doing a ready-made settings file users can download to do this

Thank you all.

I was not looking for "volume increase" ---I was looking for "Number of Bets per minute"--presumably the previous minute.

Looks like there may not be that facility.

You can do the traded volume of bets but not the number of bets. When the api returns the current market position it only does so by basically sending a revised ladder with the new traded volumes at each price. It doesn't send the number of bets that have gone through so no software can give you that figure.

Thank you Shaunwhite

Actually have access to software that does provide that info but for horse racing only---was hoping angel did also to access sport etc.

You can build a good approximation of number of matched bets placed in a minute via a servant and displaying stored values in the Additional values settings.

Basically code a servant to set a shared stored value to zero and then increment the counter by 1 for every separate selection volume increase detected by the servant automation file within a 1 minute period. Then you need to go into Ladder Settings > Additional Information so as to display the shared stored values above the ladder. You can also code to display separate values for say each of the last 5 minutes. If you are not into coding BAF automation scripts this may be a bit tricky though especially for a beginner.
