Cross matching

[Roadhouse]

Hi will any of the cross matching information be available in excel ? For example on the Gruss interface you can ask for the cross matching to be shown and the information is highlighted in yellow when bets are matched by the cross matcher.

As far as I can see the XM generated prices are already included in the excel data.

hi Captain, I didn't know you could access them in excel could you explain how I can do this?

You don't need to do anything as they're just included in the price data that's sent to the excel sheet. It doesn't show up any different to the other price data.

With the old API the XM prices weren't included in the API price data requests so any program wanting to display them had to calculate the prices itself.

With the new API you can request data with or without the XM prices, so the data is exactly the same as the website shows. If you have cross matching selected on the program(i.e. the box ticked) then it will request the XM prices along with the prices and they'll get sent to excel as well as the ladder/grid.

If you load a XM betting market and link it to excel you can switch on the XM button on the grid and you'll see the XM prices appear on both the grid and excel, as soon as you turn it off the XM prices will disappear from both.

I think the issue that you put forward, I have learned.

Hi when you have the x button on for the grid it highlights the cross matched prices with a yellow highlight, does anything happen in excel when the yellow highlights occurs?
