Bet Angel Professional v1.62 contains the following new features and updates
Instant Fill or Kill
· Bet Angel now supports the concept of 'instant fill or kill'. To use this, set the fill or kill delay to 0 (can be used manually or via automation or excel).
· When a bet is placed using this setting, it'll match the portion of your stake that is available at that moment on Betfair and immediately cancel the rest. This saves the fractions of a second during cancellation that would normally occur due to internet latency (matched bet response from Betfair + cancellation request being sent from Bet Angel). So instant fill or kill is appropriate when you don’t want your bet to remain on offer to the market for a period of time. Regular time-based fill or kill operations are unaffected by this change
Matched Bets Grid on the main screen and Matched/Unmatched Bets Grid in Guardian
· The matched bets grid on the main screen and in Guardian now supports sorting (and nested sorting using Shift+Click), column moving, and has a new 'Consolidate' option which combines stakes placed at the same price on the same selection.
· The layout and chosen sort of these grid will be saved/restored as part of the Screen Layout profile
i) Market Navigation category
· 'Select the next market from Guardian / Watch List' can now 'Wrap search from last to first' and 'Skip closed markets' when searching
· 'Select the previous market from Guardian / Watch List' can now 'Wrap search from first to last' and 'Skip closed markets' when searching
· 'Select the next event from Guardian / Watch List' can now 'Wrap search from last to first' and 'Skip closed markets' when searching

· Applies to either the ladder under the mouse or a specific ladder regardless of the mouse position.
Automation Editor
· When using Export All Stored Values the Stored Value name comparison area has been enhanced to allow partial text matching rather than just exact matching. e.g. You can now export all Stored Values whose name starts with or contains a particular piece of text.
Stored Values
· The Betfair transaction counter can now be set as a Stored Value
· 'The Market id'
· 'The event's country' - full name
· 'The events country code - short county code as used by Betfair
· ’The name of this rule’ – can be useful if you want to record the name of the rule that last triggered into an SV or make a note of the rule name in the log. Could even be used to control the behaviour of another rule based on a naming convention in the rule itself
· ’The name of this rules file’ – similar usage as above
· Two new chart types, 'History List Fixed Range' where the Y Axis min & max are part of the configuration and 'History List Dynamic Range' where the Y Axis is derived from the data being displayed. Unlike other chart types, both of these charts support the display of negative Y values, if required.
· 'History List Fixed Range' allows the Y Axis min & max to be specified as part of the chart settings
· 'History List Dynamic Range' derives the Y Axis range itself based on the data being displayed
· Unlike other chart types, both of these charts support the display of negative Y values, if required
Excel
· Extra commands to allow Keep/Take SP/Cancel to be applied to just the back bets or just the lay bets.
· Added TAKE_SP_ALL_BACK, TAKE_SP_ALL_LAY, KEEP_ALL_BACK, KEEP_ALL_LAY as global commands and also as commands for individual selections
· Added CANCEL_ALL_BACK, CANCEL_ALL_LAY as global commands to match the ones already available on individual selections.
· The syntax notes in the Excel templates supplied with the Bet Angel installer have been updated to reflect these changes.
New 'Selection Correlation' tool.
· Bet Angel’s Correlation feature (Chain Link Icon in Toolbar) will revolutionise your trading strategy by providing deep insights into market dynamics..
· In any market, the total book percentage must always converge to 100%. This means that the movements of individual selections are interconnected. For instance, when a favourite in the market is heavily backed, other selections will inevitably drift.
· The Correlation tool doesn’t just highlight these relationships; it quantifies them. This allows you to see exactly which selections are affected and to what extent, enhancing your ability to make informed trading decisions. A correlation score of 0 indicates no correlation, 100% signifies identical movements, and -100% means they move in opposite directions.
· Works best on a market with some price movement so you don't just get a load of 0% or 100% values (signal strength indicator aims to convey if the data is good enough).
· Presented in an easy-to-read table format, the Correlation tool offers extensive customisation options to align with your unique trading style. This ensures you can quickly and effortlessly grasp the correlations within the market, enabling you to easily understand and trade what you are seeing within any market.
· Settings & Layout saved with usual main screen profiles. Grid supports sorting, column hiding etc.
