Refresh rate

[Ferru123]

Hi

I was trading in-play earlier using a spreadsheet, and the refresh rate was automatically set to 2.6, which made it too slow to be effective.

Is there any way I can speed up the refresh rate please (ideally without incurring data charges! )?

Thanks

Jeff

PS The same spreadsheet is now showing a refresh rate of 3.3 (with no other tabs running).

Why has it increased?

Thanks

Hi,

Betfair no longer have a data request charge so you don't need to worry about that.
If you use multiple tab pages then I would recommend turning off throttling in Preferences as it is no longer required.
When you link to Excel the refresh rate is the same as whatever you have in Betting Options but can be set in Excel.
From Excel you can change the refresh rate using cell Q2 by entering the number seconds refresh you require.
If want to know price changes as and when they happen then use the new version with Price Streaming and set it to Full Stream.
You can control streaming using triggers in Q2.

Hi Gary,
The limit of 1000 bets per hour is still valid?

Hi,

Yes the Transaction charge for going over a 1000 bets in an hour is still charged.
But there is no data request charge now.
