MarketDepth

[alrodopial]

I also asked it elsewere but Garry may not have seen it

Can the MarketDepth return the amount available to back/lay at Sp?
Something similar to MarketDepth().prices().backAmountAvailable

If so, how is done or if not, are there any plans to add it ?

[GaryRussell]

There are two properties available, but may not be quite what you had in mind. They are all that is available from Betfair though.

MarketDepth().prices().totalBSPBackAmountAvailable
MarketDepth().prices().totalBSPLayAmountAvailable

Here is the description of these properties from Betfair's API documentation.

Total BSP Back available amount
The BSP available to back amount. Pre-reconcilation, this field is zero for all prices except 1.01 (for Market on Close bets) and at the limit price for any Limit on Close bets. Post-reconcilation, this field is zero for all prices

Total BSP Lay available amount
The BSP available to lay amount. Pre-reconcilation, this field is zero for all prices except 1000 (for Market on Close bets) and at the limit price for any Limit on Close bets. Post-reconcilation, this field is zero for all prices.

Please make sure you install the latest Beta version from the following link to use these properties. You will have to uninstall and re-install for it to update the COM dll.

Thanks Gary

The totalBSPLayAmountAvailable is not working.
It returns 0 for all the prices (odds)

I used the GetMarketDepthExample file and I only changed in the code the
backAmountAvailable with totalBSPBackAmountAvailable
and
layAmountAvailable with totalBSPLayAmountAvailable

The totalBSPBackAmountAvailable is working fine but not the totalBSPLayAmountAvailable
The same happened when I changed the Async file

The changed code is

Code: Select all

For j = 0 To UBound(prices)
                                 If prices(j).totalBSPBackAmountAvailable > 0 Then
                                    If prices(j).odds > bestBackPrice Then
                                        bestBackPrice = prices(j).odds
                                        backAmount = prices(j).totalBSPBackAmountAvailable
                                    End If
                                 End If
                                 If prices(j).totalBSPLayAmountAvailable > 0 Then
                                    If prices(j).odds < bestLayPrice Then
                                        bestLayPrice = prices(j).odds
                                        layAmount = prices(j).totalBSPLayAmountAvailable
                                    End If
                                 End If
                            Next

The object 'prices' you create contains the amounts for the backSP odds so I guess it also contains the amounts for the laySP odds.

Can you check it Gary?

[alrodopial]

I may be doing something wrong but the
totalBSPLayAmountAvailable is always returning zero.

Can you fix it Gary?

[osknows]

I think these statements reveal what's happening

Total BSP Back available amount
"Pre-reconcilation, this field is zero for all prices except 1.01"

Total BSP Lay available amount
"Pre-reconcilation, this field is zero for all prices except 1000"

If you're using the market depth code example, it only outputs the best 10 back and lay odds and may not reach the prices for 1.01 and 1000.

I think to get Total BSP Back available amount the price will be in prices(0).totalBSPBackAmountAvailable and to get Total BSP Lay available amount it will be in prices(UBound(prices)).totalBSPLayAmountAvailable

I may be wrong though...

[alrodopial]

Thanks for the answer os but this is not the case.

I want all the prices pre off and eg for the lay prices (where the problem exists) they are usually only available amounts at odds of 1000.
The given property should have returned at least this amount at these odds.
There is an if statment before ,that gives only the prices with amounts

Code: Select all

If prices(j).totalBSPLayAmountAvailable > 0 Then

[GaryRussell]

I will investigate and get back to you.

[alrodopial]

Any news about it Gary?

[GaryRussell]

Your code works here. I did make a change just before I informed you about these new properties to totalBSPLayAmountAvailable because it wasn't working. Did you by any chance assume that because you already had the version you didn't need to download it again? Try uninstalling and re-installing from http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/Betting ... _Beta2.msi

Thanks. I'll try this step at once I get home.
