I have a question on the filter and qualifiers.
So, the filter part is sort of used for 2 reasons. It sets up the criteria for your backtest and its used for giving you a list of qualifiers for the day. What if i have stuff in it thats only available and useful for the backtest? So, for example i have a strategy with favourites and traded rank (I enter at the race start so although they are BSP they are unlikey to change in any meaningful way if at all) but obviously the filter cant use them to give me my list of horses (I would use those criteria at runtime in the automation sorftware).

Some rules are ignored for the qualifiers, and some have different versions.

For example, in the backtesting the favourite rule uses BSP rank, but in the qualifiers it uses the last traded price at the time the strategy is run.

Do i need to create a seperate filter version with those very specific 'runtime' items removed or does it know which things it cant/cant use for the actual qualifiers filter?

Think its this:

This is an old link, so somehow your browser is hanging on to the old link! Or the update hadn't pushed through at the time you tried refreshing. Give it another try now.

It's not cookie-related, more to do with cached files

Site still dead for me though. Tried 2 different browsers and cleared all cache and history.

Have you cleared the cookies? I needed to do that too

Adam

@jonathan-jones When you copied the link, what was the link?

? Offline

@adam But, The big horse racing stats button works. I never use that way.

@adam In Firefox, The dropdown 'Stats Software' then the Horse Racing button. Also, i copied that link and pasted into Chrome to try a different browser. Each time i clear all site data and close the browser it does clear my login. Also, Firefox is set to not use cookies anyway. It forgets everyting if i close it.

@jonathan-jones How are you accessing the software? Are you clicking the button in the user dashboard or visiting a link directly? If so, which link?

You may need to clear your cache first

@jonathan-jones We were deploying some updates. The maintenance message was displayed on screen for quite a while before that. Should be accessible again now.

Anything 'interesting' in those updates?

Adam

@dene-topliss It's definitely not. If you're accessing the software from the BTC user dashboard, do Ctrl F5 on that page before clicking the horse racing stats button

@adam Morning Adam, no its still down mate
