On a 1280 X 800 screen that looks like this:
So there's plenty of space to be tracking other events or in other modes and / or to have the Betfair website open.
At 100% scale, Single Trackers look like this:
If desktop space is at a premium and you're not interested in the Greening / Hedging functions then you can select "Tracker Only" for a more compact display:
On opening, the main features of a Single Tracker are: ( click on the legends to get more details)
Clockwise, from the top down:
- Last Refreshed Time - this
Displays the time when the Data was last refreshed on Betfair's API
server (not the time that your call for information
was made).
This, and the fact that the display is only to the nearest second (not millisecond) explains why, even with your Refresh Rate set to zero the Last Refreshed Time time doesn't necessarily change every 0.3 of a second.
Quite often, in quiet markets or hours or days before an event, the API servers don't refresh their data all that frequently, so the Last Refreshed Time doesn't change as often as you might expect ... it's still making the calls, but the data isn't changing.
If you want a better idea of how frequently your MTPro is calling Betfair, open an Event Tracker and watch the graph - Show / Hide Market Depth Ladder
Clicking the Show / Hide Market Depth Ladder Button 
will open/close a non-transactional Ladder so that you can see
the full range of Back / Lay offers currently available for the
Selection.
To close the Ladder simply re-Click the Button.
Clicking on the Centre icon
will centre your ladder on the last Matched price.
The Ladder is for Information purposes only, and clicking it will not place either real or 'Virtual' bets.
- Back / Lay Offers) - Replicates
the Betting Buttons on the Betfair website to show the current 3 best
Back and Lay offers for this Selection, plus the available Stakes.
Although ChromawebMT is NonTransactional, you can simulate making a Back or Lay Bet by clicking on one of these buttons.
Your "Virtual Bet" well be recorded by the software, and shown on the "Virtual Bets" Tab, and will also be represented on the Greening Tab, so that you can track the Stake that would be required to Hedge or Equalise the Profit / Loss on your Virtual Bet.
NB Only your Latest Virtual Bet is recorded, to change it, just make a new Virtual Bet. - Maximum Lay Odds / Minimum Back Odds
- if you wish to make a Virtual Bet at Odds not currently
represented by the Back / Lay Offers Buttons, the simply enter your
required odds in one of these boxes and then click on one of the Back
or Lay Buttons, and a Virtual Bet at those odds will be recorded.
We set the absolute minimum Refresh to 100 milliseconds (0.1 seconds), ... 0 on the dropdown, and you can change it, upwards via this dropdown. With a fairly standard 2Mb connection this will update the graph and price displays about 3 times per second.
- Stake Dropdown - The Stake
Dropdown allows you to quickly select your Stake without using the Keyboard.
;It shows, as its highest value, the Maximum Display Stake that you select in your User Defaults Panel, and attempts to make suitable increments available. For example if you choose 300 as your your maximum Display Stake the dropdown will show 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 19 .... and so on down to 2.
If you need a Stake that isn't present on the Dropdown, you can simply over type the Stake Dropdown.
Whenever you open a new Tracker the Stake Dropdown shows your Maximum Liability as the Selected value.
- +/- Ticks
Allows you to select a Number of 'Ticks' ... odds increments, above or below the current Best Odds at which your Virtual bet offer will be made.
The Ticks are applied after you've clicked a Back or Lay offer, so, if, for example you've chosen a +/- value of 3 and you click the Lay Button at 1.26, it will adjust your offer price Down to 1.23, and if you've clicked the Back button at 1.26 it will adjust your offer Up to 1.29.
- Matched / unMatched Bets -
ChromawebMT will check (at intervals determined by your Bet Display Refresh Rate) to see whether you have any Matched or Unmatched Bets at Betfair on the current Selection.
On the main image (above, we have no Bets at Betfair currently on this selection, so the display is blank.
If you do have Matched or Unmatched Bets the panel will look like something like this.Matched Backs and or Lays for the current selection are aggregated and displayed as the Average Back and/or Lay Price, and the Total Liability and Total potential profit.
Each individual unMatched Back and/or Lay is listed.
The Panel also shows your Profit and Loss if the Selection wins or if it Loses for both your Matched Bets and your Matched Bets + your Unmatched bets.
- Virtual Bets Tab -
If you have placed any "Virtual" bets, the latest one is displayed on this Panel.
The Virtual Betting routine assumes that your Bet is always matched, whatever odds you asked for .... if only!
- Greening Tab -
On the Greening Tab you can choose to Track the Stake required to Equalise your Profits or to Hedge a percentage of your potential profits, either for your Actual Bets at Betfair or for your Virtual Bet.
You can switch between Actual and Virtual modes by clicking on the 'Use Virtual / Use Actual Bets' button.
- Bet Display Refresh Rate
- changing this rate will temporarily override your Default Bet Display
Refresh Rate.
If you have a lot of Bets on the current selection, there can be some screen flicker as the Display refreshes, so you may wish to set this rate higher, e.g. to 5 seconds.
However, if you are waiting to see whether a current unMatched Bet is being matched, then you may wish to set the Refresh Rate to its minimum - 1 second.
- Manual Bet Refresh -
Clicking this button will instantly update the Bet Display Panel and
Profit / Loss Panels, so that, even if you have set a fairly slow Bet
Display Refresh Rate, you can get an instant update of your current
position. - Refresh Rate - better termed
Refresh Delay, since it is actually the time-gap between receiving a
response from the API server and making the next call.
So, if the Refresh Rate is 1 second and it takes one second to send a Request and Receive a response (the Latency) then the market display (Current Prices, Last Price Matched, and the Graph) will refresh every 2 seconds.
We set the absolute minimum Refresh to 100 milliseconds (0.1 seconds), ... 0 on the dropdown, and you can change it, upwards via this dropdown. With a fairly standard 2Mb connection this will update the graph and price displays about 3 times per second. - Betfair Graphs - Clicking
on the Betfair Graphs button
will open a separate window showing Betfair's Price / Volume over Time
