I need a service that will notify me of price changes in a number of selected markets on betfair. With a beep or a not too intrusive popup. It would also be good if I could see better price charts for those markets than are available on betfair. Could Bet Angel do that for me?

OK, I've had a look at this.

Firstly I want to see more than one market at the same time. I can do this by creating a Watch List in Guardian and displaying that. But there seems to be a lot of empty space on the main window of BetAngel. Can I display more than one market there? If so, how, I can't figure it out.

Secondly I have tried creating a rule for a market in Guardian. I want to know when the price changes. I created a Historic Relative Odds Condition for the Back price to be more than it was ten seconds ago and set Signals for the Market and the Current Selection (what's the difference?). I then saved this. Nothing shows in the Automation Rules column for the main window in Guardian. And I'm not getting any signals so far as I can see. Where should they appear?

Confused.

OK, I've got a better understanding of how the rules work now and am getting popups. I don't want to have to press OK every time one is triggered, so perhaps I'd better switch to sounds instead. Would still like to know what a signal does.

Yes, right click on a market in the selection window, watch list or guardian

OK thanks. It seems that I can display multiple markets in different windows but not all in the main window. That's not quite what I was hoping for but it's better than nothing.

Regarding the charts:

a) I can't get the BetAngel ones to show more than the list 15 minutes or so. Is that the best I can do? and
b) If I display a betfair chart through the application will it get updated dynamically?

Also, if I have multiple markets, for all of which the outcomes are Yes and No, if I write a Rule for one market with a Historical Relative Odds Condition based on Yes, say, will that Rule work for all markets? I get a warning stating that it might not when I apply it, but I'm guessing that where the outcomes are the same, this might work? Otherwise I will have to duplicate my Rules for each market.

If you add all the markets to Guardian they will start plotting from then

When creating a rule apply it to a Betfair row index rather than the 'name'
