Free Betfair trading software

Want some free trading software? That works through the Betfair API and remains cost free for as long as you want to use it? Well those nice chaps at BetTrader are now giving away their advanced trading software.

Sign up for free, improve your Betfair trading experience and give yourself an edge with free features including:

* One click betting * Live prices (auto refresh more than once a second) * Hedge button * Stop loss tool * Fill or Kill function * Live last traded price and volumes * Live price over volume graphs * Customisable stake buttons * Net position stake button * Weight of money indicator * Price direction colour indicators * Submit and hedge bets below £2

In addition there are also a host of free tools including:

* Trailing stop loss * Tick offset * Price chaser * Order cancels order * If matched * Timer bet * Bookmaker * Drip feeder * If balance <>

Great. That's fantastic I hear you say. What's the catch? Well, the offer can be taken at face value. The trading software really is free. And it really is free for as long as you want to use it. Basically then you can get a total upgrade to the Betfair interface, with a collection of performance enhancing free trading tools, for absolutely nothing. That's a deal in anyone's book. Right?

However, the one thing that is not free is the BetTrader ladder trading interface. And the trouble is most BetTrader software users prefer the ladder trading interface to the free grid one that looks more like the Betfair interface.

The software is, for example, my trading software of choice. It's what I use over 90% of the time when I'm trading. But I tend to use the ladder. And to use the ladder there is a charge. A small charge yes. But a charge is a charge.

Still, if you're happy using a Betfair style interface to trade, but want a heap of extra trading tools to give you an edge, this is a great offer. Afterall, let's face it, you don't have to ever use or pay for the ladder interface. So this really is a case of getting something for nothing. Enjoy the free trading software and good luck!
