New beta version of Bet Angel v1.46.0

[Bet Angel]

We'd still recommend that you place live bets from time to time as although streaming places less stress on the betfair servers, they could still accuse you of harvesting price data and restrict your account if you don't place real money bets and generate commission.

Megarain, that log looks fine, so it must just be the status bar message that needs the runner name added - we'll have a look at that.

An update my previous post:

2) Could the selection name be made to be 'active' and integrated with the in-play trader settings in the same way as the odds line is - this would make fastest finger opportunities easier.

This would work especially well with the 'Custom ticks outside best market price' setting

activated by ticking the 'Use Exchange Streaming' box on the Communications page of the Bet Angel Settings window.

When I do this the message on the Bet Angel screen that usually shows Responsiveness to calls in milliseconds changes to showing connection status but the message shows as [Stopped] occasionally but only briefly it shows [Connected].

Is this change in type of message display expected?
And if so and because I'm in Australia, does this mean I'm better off not using exchange streaming or is there some other communication setting I can change?

As fdar as you know, is there any downside to using the BetFair Exchange Streaming option?

It should be 'Stopped' until you first select a market, at which point it'll subscribe to that market first saying 'Connected' and then 'Streaming'.

We see no reason why it wouldn't work from Australia, but let us know if you are unable to see the 'Streaming' indicator having selected a market.

It's not clear what you mean by this. Could you raise this in the Suggestions section of the forum and provide as much detail as possible so that we can look at the implications of the idea and others can +1 the thread if they like it.

We need to keep this thread dedicated to the beta release and any bugs that are discovered.

No downsides that we know of - once fully tested I would expect everyone to want to use Streaming.

When running at 20ms in guardian and then automatically switching to the one click screen which is set to 200ms which setting is it using?

When streaming, the prices will arrive from betfair as soon as they change regardless of the setting. Guardian will be cycling through each of its markets spending 20ms on each. The main screen will ensure it is refreshed from the current prices every 200ms.

So the answer is... it depends:

If you only had five markets in Guardian, and loaded one of those markets into the main screen, then the Guardian cycle would be the fastest refresh and the market would update about once every 100ms ( 5 x 20ms ), however if you had more than ten markets in Guardian then the 200ms refresh of the main screen would be the fastest updater for that market ( because the overall Guardian cycle rate would be greater than 10 x 20ms... > 200ms ).

Sorry bit confused :/ for quickest prices should both screens be on 20ms or does it not matter if there both different. I only have the days horse races loaded into guardian

Thx for the reply

Edit: sorry our U saying it's faster no matter what setting when streaming is on?

Still no 'Streaming'. Only 'Stopped' then momentarily shows 'Connected' then back to 'Stopped'

So far my version only and always shows [Stopped] and has never shown [Connecting] nor [Streaming]
