Hi,

So I have my column to show Lowest Traded Price which is excellent... However is it possible to set a column showing all Back Prices before a Horse Race goes into play?

are you pulling the proverbial leg?? on the one click screen, other than LTP, there is a display of the best 3 back and lay prices... apologies if i've misunderstood. ;)

Hi Jimbit,

Sorry maybe I haven't explained myself too well...

So I have a column which shows lowest traded price right to the very end of the race... But, for my data collection in case I get distracted before start of a Horse Race i wondered if I could set a column which would record all "Lay Prices" just before race goes into play... Not Lay prices at end of race... Cheers

The following post shows how you can store and display an historical price in a custom column

All you need to do it arm it at post time and re arm every second and add a
Inplay condition to test the. Market is not in play

Excellent and thank you Dallas, am collecting data for Lay The Field and pre match odds will affect which races to enter

Would it not have been easier to just use the actual SP?

I'm not using SP, just want to know how many horses are at certain odds just before going in play... Hope that makes sense?

Or will the column hold all SP prices?

Its al lot quier and easier to create a custom column to show the Actual SP prices for each selection.

Unless there was a specfic reason why you needed the last lay price or last traded price prior to the offer

Hi Dallas, was playing with this last night using the Actual SP and for convenience I can run with this and add a tick to revert to Lay Price.

Obviously as I'm Laying The Field it would be handy to have actual Lay Price, however as I said I can add a tick and presume it would have been the price before the off... Obviously I'm aware it might have been a couple of ticks off but would presume the front 4 to be within one tick of Back & Lay price just before the off.

Cheers
