The Ladder view
The classic trading ladder, built in: every price level a market knows about as a fixed rung — back money on the left, the price in the centre, lay money on the right — and a single click places a bet at that exact price. If you've traded with dedicated ladder software before, you'll feel at home immediately.
Who can use it
Full access. Double-click any market in the tree to open it in the Ladder view; a single click opens the Standard view — the gesture chooses the window, every time, no mode to set.
Available on Pro. Both click gestures open the Standard Market View, which shows the best available price each side — everything you need to back, lay and trade out.
Reading the ladder
- The centre column is the price ladder itself — every valid tick, in order, in a fixed position. Prices don't jump about; the money moves along the ladder instead.
- Left of the price: the amount waiting to back at that price. Right: the amount waiting to lay.
- Watching where the money stacks up — and how fast it's consumed — is how ladder traders read a market's direction.
Trading from the ladder
- Set your stake in the one-click amount field (shared with the Standard view's presets).
- Click on the back side of a rung to place a back bet at exactly that price — or on the lay side to lay at that price.
- Your bet rests at that rung until matched (watch it in the Requested Bets list), and can be cancelled while unmatched.
Ladders shine in fast, liquid markets — the pre-race minutes of televised racing are the classic use. Place resting bets a few ticks ahead of the current price and let the market come to you. And keep the Standard view's chart open on a second window for the longer price history — the two views share the same window allowance and the same market data.
