This ladder setting file, will display the changes prices and percentage of traded volume share at 1 minute intervals during the final 5 minutes before the official start time, there are also colour settings files which will display the changes as a colour gradient heat map.
Allowing you to quickly and easily see which selections price is steaming, drifting or stable as well as if its gaining or losing its share of the overall traded volume
The values above the odds column are the back prices each selection was trading at 4mins, 3mins, 2mins etc, the coloured back ground represents the back book% percentage change in the previous minute
The redder the back ground the more the price has lengthened (drifted)
The greener the back ground the more the price has shortened (steamed)
The values above the traded volume column show how much the percentage of traded volume for that selection has changed in the previous minute, the background colour will also help you visualise the changes
The redder the back ground the greater the selections share of the traded volume has been reduced
The greener the back ground the greater the selections share of the traded volume has increased
So when used your ladders will be displayed exactly as shown in the image below
As you can see the in race above the 4th selections had shortened a bit from whatever price it was at 5mins to 7.4 with 4mins to post with just over a 1% increase in its share of traded volume, it was still slowly shortening but with little change in its traded volume share until between 2mins and 1 min to post it began really steaming in and its share of the traded volume percentage also started to increase significantly, and although it continued to shorten in the final minute before post its movement had now slowed down a bit.
Whereas the original favourite remained stable until around 3mins to post it did then start drifting and at the same it lost some of its share of the traded volume (most of which went to the 4th selection)
