Version 8.0.0.15

Improvements

- We have added a trigger variable traded_avg_price that returns the average weighted price of a selection based on its traded volume. I.e. this figure will indicate how bettors have valued this selection up to the moment.

- There is a new "Look & Feel" option that allows you to sort the "Soccer - Todays Fixtures" node in the Events Tree by match start time. If you turn it off, the entries will be sorted by name, as before.

- You can now choose what action to perform when the Stop-Loss settings kick in. It used to be "Post unmatched bets at the best available price". Now you can either "Match" them or "Cancel" them under the circumstances listed in Stop-Loss Options.

- In Market Locator, it is now possible to search for markets whose IDs are in / not in a file, or in / not in a list.

Bugs Fixed

- In Market Locator the condition "Any Selection's Last Traded Price" was not working correctly.

- There were certain problems with displaying BF Charts in markets.

Thanks for that Oxa

with the new traded_avg_price variable, is it possible to define a time period that it looks at, as you can with other variables eg pdif_{minutes}?

armarni, no, it is not possible to do that even in theory. The API won't give us the breakdown of amounts that were traded at certain prices over a specific timeframe. Only the total figures are available.

Thanks Oxa,

That is a brilliant addition. 

One day I would also like to see ltmax_{mins} and ltmin_{}       but then I am greedy

so to be clear , traded_avg_price is, for example:

(P1*A1 + P2*A2+P3*A3+..........Pn*An) / (Sum(A1......An))

where P1 is the lowest price traded and A1 is the amount matched at that price, and P2 is the next tick up from P1 where A2 is matched.....all the way up to the maximum price matched.

Thanks

Yes, alfaman, spot on.

I'll add your suggestion to the wish list. I don't mind you being greedy.

I may be being dumb, but I'm putting traded_avg_price in the user variables window and it's returning 0.00

I've also tried r_1_traded_avg_price which also returns 0.00.  The market is currently refreshing and has been for a while.

Have I got the syntax wrong?

I am running vers 8.0.0.15 by the way!

armarni, did you tick "Load traded volume for all prices" in "General Options"?

No I hadn't, thanks for clearing it up, all working now.
