Create your own custom tools

As you already should know, you can link Bet Angel to a spreadsheet. This gives you massive benefits as you can custom create your own view of the market and design your own trading tools. In fact it is possible to trade automatically using a spreadsheet and some imagination.

Using the link to a spreadsheet you can do pretty much anything, it's a very popular part of Bet Angel and underused in my opinion. I am always fiddling with it to create new ideas for trading tools, views of the market and to understand market dynamics. If you have more than one screen available use it to focus on particular activity you are interested in.

In the latest version of Bet Angel we have bundled a specialist charting tool. Using this tool you can view and create your own unique look at the market. I recently used exactly this spreadsheet to help design the advanced charting tool we have on Bet Angel. If you are into fiddling around and looking for a new view of the market goto the Excel tab on Bet Angel and link to a spreadsheet. In the template directory you will find the 'normal' spreadsheet and the specialist charting spreadsheet, complete with trend lines.

Enjoy!
