Hi,

I used to only trade manually inplay but I am now also running things in automation pre-off and inplay.

This has become very difficult to see when automation is placed when i'm trading manually inplay.

Is there anyway that my trading screen can show automation and manual separate.

If that's not available, is it possible to have extra Betfair account connected to the same account, premium charge, level.

Thanks

Do you have access to another pc/laptop? If so when you're trading you could open Bet Angel on the other device and display the matched/unmatched bets screen? That way you would at least see your automation bets appearing?

I apologise in advance if this is a daft suggestion, my background is more in 'back to lay' rather than ladder trading.

Another suggestion why not simply log in to Betfair mobile and go to the 'my bets' screen for the particular market with the same result.

Mind you I can see that if the automation is placing a large number of trades it may be difficult to seperate them from your manual ones.

Thinking about it some more: I can see the issue. If you manually placed an order for £50 and you then noticed the order was now totalling £100 for the same odds, you would know that the automation must have placed the other £50. I believe Betfair allowed you to have more than one account in the past but to my knowlege they withdrew that facility some years ago. Not sure though whether they may allow/offer it for 'big players', bookies etc.
