Autobet Insight is our first API application and for certain functionality it will work much faster than screen scraping. It has been designed to allow traders to get in and out of the market with the minimum of fuss by having a number of pre-set buttons and automated trade-out functions. Below is a brief overview of what we have to offer. There is a separate Settings page which allows the user to create his individual pre-set buttons.

1. Manual input boxes for Back Stake and Lay Liabilities. AI works with Lay Liabilities rather than stakes
2. Pre-set Back Stake and Lay Liability buttons. One click loads amounts into the relevant Stake or Liability boxes
3. ATO Percentage buttons. ATO stands for Automatic Trade Out, also know as Offset positions. If this function is activated by clicking button 7, when a Bet or Lay is matched AI will offer an Offset bet based on the ATO percentage and ATO Tick Value set on the Settings page. For instance, say you made a bet and got 50 matched at 1.98. Say your ATO Tick Value was set to 10 ticks and your ATO% was set to 100. AI would then offer a Lay at 1.98 minus 10 ticks i.e 1.88 for 50. If the ATO% was set to 110, AI would offer 55 (110% of 50) at 1.88. By altering the ATO Tick Value and ATO% you can trade out so you create a built in profit no matter whether your selection wins or losses. AI only offers the ATO for bets or lays that have already been matched
4. Lay-All Price. User input box so you can Lay All the runners with one click
5. Reset Columns button. This zeroes the first three 'indicator' columns
6. Reverse button. This converts the Back buttons to Lay buttons and vice versa. Handy if you quickly want to Bet at the Lay prices or Lay at the Bet prices
7. ATO On/Off button
8. FOK On/Off button. This allows bets to be offered on a Fill Or Kill basis. The left-hand menu changes the time in seconds
9. Manual input for Price and Bet Stake or Lay Liability. These boxes allow different prices and stakes to be set up for each runner. The 'Back' and 'Lay' buttons send the bets to the market
10. Pre-Set bet and lay price buttons. These are set up on the Settings page and allow you to setup any prices you wish. Very handy for those trading in-running, particularly when used with the ATO function. Please note also that ALL the normal 6 Betfair boxes are one-click
11. IB, or In-Between bet and lay buttons. These buttons allow you to offer bets or lays 'in-between' the current spread and are set up on the Settings page. For instance, say the current spread on a market is 1.98 to 2.10 and you had your IB Ticks set to 1, then if you clicked the Dark Blue you'd place a bet at 1 tick less than the best current lay price i.e 2.10 minus 1 tick, or 2.08. Likewise, if you clicked on the Dark Pink button you'd offer a lay at 1 tick better than the best bet price, or 1.98 plus 1 tick, or 1.99. Very handy for markets such as the FTSE intraday, particularly when used in conjunction with the ATO function
12. MTO, or Manual Trade Out buttons. These buttons track your P&L based on your current ATO% settings and with one click allow you to trade out quickly. In the example below for instance, if I clicked on the MTO button for Wee Anthony I would make a profit of 78.50 if he won or 5 if he lost. Very handy for trading in running
13. Matched and Unmatched bets windows. Double click on any unmatched bet to cancel
14. The first three columns show our unique 'indicators'. The first (far left) shows the highest single bet amount and price in Blue and the highest single lay liability and price in Red. These figures are based on matched amounts since you opened the market and can give a good indication of what the heavy hitters are doing. For instance if you saw that the 2.0 favourite had a maximum bet of about 1000 but a maximum lay liability of 20000 this could be a useful bit of information. The second column counts the number of bets (Blue) and lays (Red) over an amount which you set on the Settings page. In the example below I have set the Filtered Count at 99, so every bet or lay over that amount is counted (I reset the columns to zero when the race went in-play using button 5). So in the case of Wee Anthony, there were 61 bets and 47 lays over that amount. Again this is useful info when tracking what the bigger bettors ('strong holders') are doing. You'll probably want to change the setting for different markets. The last column shows the bet amount or lay liability of the last trade matched. Be aware that there are numerous trades matched at server level which never can be read by end user software simply because at times the Betfair activity is so high. These three 'indicators' can be extremely useful in that they show you much more clearly what the sentiment is about a runner from those with better information than the average punter
