    @carl-ritchie You may have a point there, I think you've found a bug. The data is there but the favourite rule isn't doing a very good job of picking up those horses.

    Try using the BSP rank instead:
    0_1653923263704_bf203c8f-f0fa-405e-bd84-0f2a0cae9cfe-image.png

    Or if you want one that you could use before the race, you could try the forecast price rank.

    oh yeah I know that, but there is 20/30 races a day so even for 1 year that's at least 7,300 potential trades. But the software is only showing 3000 trades from the start of last year. so just wondering is it missing some events etc

    0_1653906895773_lay the 4th.gz

    Ok hopefully this is it.

    I am laying the 4th favourite and wanting to run recovery on it. When I back test on the software it only gives information for about 3000 trades since 2021. I just thought this should be alot higher.

    But if anyone wants to look at my bot and see if there is something i should maybe be adding to it any feedback would be appreciated, only been using the software a month.

    Carl at the moment the historical data only goes back to 2021. I believe there are plans for @Adam to load data further back at some point.

    Its lay the 4th fav in uk/ireland races with max odds of 14, the main results i was trying to find was longest losing streak to use recovery on. But the stats software shows a lot less trades than what my bot actually gets on in a day. Im sure im just being a newb and missing something.

    For example on the stats software if i select April 22 and lay 4th fav with odds between 1 - 14 with 1 min before the race, it shows only 189 trades for that whole month.

    But the bot is easily doing that in a week on the uk ireland races

    Hey guys quick question, how accurate is the horse racing software for back testing. I currently have my bot running a strat and it does about 30 races per day which is on average 900 per month and for this year it would be 4500 approx. When i back test it for this year on the horse racing software, with the same rules, it only gives me results of 798 trades, which seems nowhere near close. (these are all uk and ireland trades with the bot)

    Im i missing something?

    You would need to put up all settings for the bot for someone to recreate. Also your settings on the software as well.

    I’ve found it pretty similar so far(there will always be a few differences).

    I have added how to have a minimum price for back bets and a maximum price for lay bets in the first post on this thread. You cannot have a maximum back price or minimum lay price at the moment. Even manually.

    Hey guys does anyone recommend using recovery? or what's the best way going about it?

    Im using the horse racing strategy software and back testing over 2 years the longest losing streak was 2 out of 2784 trades.

    So if I had enough bankroll to cover 2 losses at the max odds I have set would this work?

    very new to the bf bot manager still so trying to figure stuff still

    Never use recovery. Tried it a couple of times and got burned. Might be others on here with better luck

    @john-folan would be great if it works, i've tried different ways, but some bets would not get placed and show as elapsed. Hopefully it will work for you
