In-play interface

[ron]

Was asked for sometime ago and looks like the Geek has delivered

I will have a play with this on my next day off (Thursday) but will take some convincing to come away from the ladders.

Looks like a lot of work has gone into that :eek:

I'll download and try tomorrow. In the meantime, anyone know if the Space bar (order field shortcut) works in this context?

[The Geek]

Not yet. :D

Wow. The new interface looks good. I guess it'll take some getting used to.

One question. Just tried it, but it's not throwing the tick offset in. Does this not work with the interface? Still OK on the ladder. Does it need to be turned on?

Cheers

Tick Offset / Fill or Kill support will be added to a future release.

[winehouse]

Thanks.

Also regarding the dutching.

When I used BAP, they had a feature where (I think) you could specify stake & required profit and if the prices moved to that level, it would fire in the bets automatically.

Is that something that could be included in future?

Thanks for your time

Best regards

[The Geek]

Not any time in the immediate future.

[winehouse]

Ok, no probs.

Cheers

Very well done I have to say... The interface just boosted my ability to trade horses in-play!

Have you used it Loktari? Very intetested before I give it a go tomorrow, had a play around last night with settings.

Yes I have, I have been using it since 12:25 today, vertical display setup, similar to the ladders, gives a very good overview of all the runners and allows us to see the big picture and place bets faster than before. For micro trades like trading gaps in-running, it is also good because it allows us to identify where the price ranges are at all times, the bet placing is better done on the ladder in these situations though.

The interface is smartly designed, when you open a position, a red/green bar appears showing your position, you can place the stake you have set by clicking on the pink/blue areas and you can close your position with hedging at the odds clicked by clicking on the red/green bar that appears.

I suggest enabling the keyboard shortcuts, X for cancelling all bets on current selection, H for hedging current selection, it helps with the reaction times. I also suggest turning the unmatched bets footer on, because it is the fastest way to see what bets you have on the market and to cancel those bets using the mouse.

I just had a very good idea to improve the in-play window, it is hard to see the odds where your mouse is pointing, you can only set it so that they are displayed at the beginning or at the end of the interface, there is no way to change the font or color of that text and it takes time looking up or down at the odds to see if that's really where you want to place your bet. My suggestion is: make the mouse icon change everytime you move your mouse and display the odds that the mouse icon is pointing at, on the mouse pointer itself. The mouse icon should be the same it is now, with a green/red/blue? coloured number above the pointer, on the right side.
