Why not be a robotrader?

10/03/2009 | By More

For some time Bet Angel has had the capability to link to Excel. It’s not just a link, you can custom write tools, views of the market and all manner of wonderful things in a spreadsheet and get it to ‘talk’ to Betfair vis Bet Angel.

The Microsoft Excel integration not only allows you to view a market in Excelm but also trigger bets from the spreadsheet through Bet Angel. This isn’t just simple triggered betting however, we also allow you to send Bet Angel specific functions and bet characteristics using our unique scripting language.

Want to place an offset bet with a ten second fill or kill delay and a trailing stop? No problem. If you want to trade a certain price if something some happens, that’s possible. Only place a bet fifteen seconds in-play if the price on the favourite has drifted by a certain amount, that’s possible too. In fact just about anything is possible using the spreadsheet capability.

Whether you use the spreadsheet to monitor certain types of activity or to trade automatically its useful. Or why not become a robotrader and use Excel to help you in certain markets. A machine is often quicker to react to the market than a human so get it to enter a trade and you can manage it from there? The possibilities are endless.

I left a good job in the consumer technology industry to go a trade on Betfair for a living way back in June 2000. I've been here ever since pushing very boundaries of what's possible on betting exchanges and loved every minute of it.
