Automate your trading using Bet Angel

Following on from our recent feature on automated trading, Peter Webb from Bet Angel has provide an excellent starter pack of ideas for anyone keen to explore this very interesting aspect of trading.

Take it away PW……..

There are lots and lots of features within Bet Angel, but one you should definitely explore is the ability to link to a spreadsheet.

While it may seem a little daunting for beginners it’s actually not that difficult to quite easily achieve some really useful things using the spreadsheet link. There are already a large number of Bet Angel users using this facility. So if you don’t use it at the moment, it’s worth checking out.

Bet Angel customers use the spreadsheet link to: -

* Get better entry points into to a market
* Ensure an exit (I.e. improve your discipline)
* Create a new trading tool or interface
* Custom create technical indicators / charts
* Automatically trade alternative markets
* Completely automate their trading
* Trade even if you are not at your PC

You can also run Bet Angel via a VPS which will allow you to access and run a fully automated spreadsheet based trading strategy from any internet enabled device, anywhere in the world. It opens up a whole new world of opportunity.

Bet Angel already comes with three spreadsheet templates, including one which allows you to custom plot your own charts and technical indicators. The spreadsheet functionality also includes a unique scripting language that allows you to pass commands such as offsetting and greening via the spreadsheet through Bet Angel back to Betfair. You can quite easily create some clever little spreadsheets.

We recently published a simple spreadsheet to demonstrate some key features and one Bet Angel user took that and modified it to great effect. This gave us a really neat automated trading tool that you can download and use ‘out of the box’. We put it on the forum for all users to have access.

Here are some videos we have prepared, so that you can learn how use the spreadsheet link. The spreadsheet I have mentioned is on the last on this first set of videos.

You should also learn about Bet Angel Guardian which allows you to nominate and automatically switch markets. Using Guardian in conjunction with the spreadsheet link allows you to fully automate a days trading. You can also link multiple markets to multiple spreadsheets in one workbook to pursue more complex betting or arbitrage opportunities.

Using the ability to link to a spreadsheet can increase your ability to trade effectively and can also uncover new ideas. If discipline is a problem, a spreadsheet can stop you from going in running! Even if you can’t be at your PC, you can make it trade for you and this allows you to try concepts and trade alternative markets while you work on your core markets, or even trade fully automatically all day / or night! Be careful though, if you are going for full automation. Make sure you thoroughly test things with minimum stakes before unleashing your creation!

The sky really is the limit with spreadsheet integration and if you want to get to an even higher level you might even consider some VBA programming. But even if that isn’t the level you want to get to, the spreadsheet link in Bet Angel can clearly help you in one form or another.

Some of my best idea’s and concepts were generated on a spreadsheet first. So I’d definitely recommend getting some use from this powerful feature.

BetAngel on an iPad

Just had this on from Peter Webb over at BetAngel, how good does this look.

Over to you PW….

The iPad was formally launched today in the UK so I went into town stood in line for an hour and was the third person in the area to boost Steve Job’s net worth.

I love all sorts of gadgets so couldn’t resist having a look at the iPad and the first thing I did was connect to the VPS server and have a play on Bet Angel.

Take a look below…..

Quite tempted myself after seeing that, so I can see where my first £500 of risk free World Cup profits will be going!

And if this has whetted your appetite to have a little play with BetAngel itself then they have a fantastic half price offer on at the moment, where you can get a whole month’s access for just £15. Now that fits in rather well with a certain little football tournament in South Africa doesn’t it. As don’t forget their dedicate football trading software, Soccer Mystic, is now FREE with all Bet Angel Professional for Betfair purchases.

I Cannot Lose Even When I Try

Some people can do no wrong (even when they are trying to).

Take Master Trader, Peter Webb. Here he is recording a few screens on how you could get into a loss situation trading the horses on Betfair then up pops a profit opportunity which he duly jumps on and turns those red screens to green.

Trading is all about finding the window of opportunity and this video shows that perfectly. Maybe I should put up one of mine of how to turn a Green screen to Red, not quite as impressive some how!

Also here is a great “intro to trading” video, again from Peter….
