What's new

v4.2 [Nov 7, 2018]
- Added an ability to hide the NET stake buttons in the ladder interface to free some room for other stake buttons.
- Added an ability to restrict time (period of time) when a market (added to the Market Watch List) is updated. This allows you to effectively utilize the limited number of data requests (20) per second to Betfair and refresh your markets exactly when you need this instead of updating all markets at the same time. This ability is very useful in conjunction with the Advanced Automation feature especially if there is a lot of markets in the Market Watch List. See the new options "Start/Stop refreshing a market" in the Market Watch List toolbar.
- An ability to hide the "Traded and Available" data in the Betfair Chart window to free room for the Betfair Chart.
- Improvements to the "Greening Up All" function. Added an ability to ignore impossible outcomes for the "Green Up All" button figure calculations on Correct Score football markets. This makes the "Green Up All" button figure more precise. For example, if the current match score is 1-0 then the 0-0, 0-1, 0-2, etc scores are impossible and are not involved in the "Green Up All" button figure calculations. See the Options window, Greening Up tab for the new settings.
- Added an ability to show the Volume % in the volume column of the Grid. See the new "Volume Data" option in the Settings window on the Grid page.
- Advanced Automation. Added the new "Selection Bets in Process" and "Market Bets in Process" conditions. These allow you to check if there are any bets currently being placed. Useful for in-play markets.
- Advanced Automation. The new "Selection Tennis Point" condition. It allows you to perform an action when a player wins a point.
- Advanced Automation. The new "Selection Tennis Serving" condition. It allows you to check which player is currently serving.
- Advanced Automation. The new "Selection Tennis Fixed Score" condition. Now it is possible to compare the current tennis score with a predefined score.
- Advanced Automation. The new "Selection Volume Percentage" condition. Now it is possible to compare selection traded volume percentage with a predefined value.
- Advanced Automation. Updated the "Market Book Value Percentage" condition. Now it allows you to calculate the Book Value percentage for part of a market. For example, you can calculate the Book Value % for 3 selections out of 7, etc. Very useful in conjunction with the Dutching action.
- Advanced Automation. The new "Market Race Distance" condition. It allows you to check the race distance. Available for Horse and Greyhound Racing Win markets.
- Advanced Automation. Added an ability to sort selections by Near/Far/Actual SP in the Dutching Action.
- Added an ability to move a market opened in a separate window back into the main window.
- Restored an ability to open the chart window by clicking the selection's name in the confirmation windows.
- Added the new "Cancel All Unmatched & Pending Bets in All Windows" shortcut.
- Improved the scaling for nonstandard DPI modes.
- Fixed a major memory leak in the Market Watch List.
- Some performance optimisation for markets with a large number of selections.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

v4.0 [Jul 31, 2017]
- Added an ability to collapse/expand each bet section (Pending/Unmatched/Matched).
- Added an ability to open a market in a separate window. This allows you to monitor more than one market at the same time.
- Added the new “Profit” option, (below the Back Stake option), which automatically calculates your back bet stake size to keep the required profit fixed, no matter what odds you click.
- Added the “Default” sorting option to the Grid. It is the same as “As on Betfair” sorting option but it does not change the selection positions in the Grid over time.
- Automation: Added the “Count Fully Matched Only” option to the Selection/Market Bet Count conditions.
- Automation: Added the “Apply to All” option to the Edit Rule dialogue which allows you to apply the rule to all market contenders/outcomes.
- Automation: Added the “By Book %” staking option which allows you use stakes inversely proportional to the bet odds. Also it can be useful to implement a simple Dutching option.
- Automation: Added the new “Selection Traded Amount” condition which allows you to measure the matched volume since the previous market refresh. Can be useful for detecting big bets (spikes) which may indicate a trend reversal.
- Automation: Added the “True Percentage” odds offsets. This can be more useful than the “Exact Percentage” odds offsets in some cases. For example: 5.2 – 100% (exact) = 0; 5.2 – 100% (true) = 1.01.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
