@john-folan Thanks for checking it out John, I'll monitor them and see what happens, cheers, Ian

Classic Trobs: Trob any between 3.5-9 as close to the off as you can. Avoid Heavy Ground.
Slow on the selection front at the moment. Getting a lot of runners over 90 days. So that will change in the next month

@ian-wylie Hi mate. I can't really see a lot wrong with either of those. There isn't many filters, which is always a good thing as a lot less risk of back fitting. Profitable to BSP as well which to be honest is the dream

@john-folan Hi John, I was messing about with the software with your back the fav on Saturday idea and came up with a couple of filters which look a bit too good to be true and was wondering if you could cast your eye over them if you get the chance. I approached them in different ways e.g. one of them I started with courses and the other I started with the class then race distance, no. of runners etc. and filtered out the losing stuff each time.
Will have a nose tomorrow for you.

@rick-watson same for me - nothing for today and so far nothing for tomorrow.
-

-
@nick-allan Yep. No selections showing for me today either
-
@john-folan It certainly is, I'm filtering all my strats on day of the week now just to see what difference it makes.

@john-folan Hi John, I saw your comment about backing favs on Saturdays and it got me thinking that I'd never considered that the day of the week would make a difference. I've got a start that I'm monitoring just now which is about laying favs at certain courses and distances so I filtered it by day of the week and it was in profit every day of the week apart from Saturday's. So I dropped Saturday's out of the strat and ran it through the back testing and the ROI went up by 3%! Happy days
Isn’t it great we can just do that?

Anyone scalp evening races? I don’t but they seem massively different to daytime ones. Is this something people have noticed? I’m guessing all the amateurs are out f*****g up the markets
i wonder if its got got anything to do with trackside bookies protecting their liability on the evening races? if they have a lot of liability they made look too offset some on the lay side of the market skewing the WOM?
-
anyone having issue with the sortware? i normally test 5 startegies but ive only got selctions for one, which is unusual is there are a number of meeting going on?
-
I was actually going to ask about how long folk scalp/ pre-race trade. I found I would start losing concentration a bit anytime after 4 and oddly enough THAT was usually when I started making stupid mistakes. Sometimes found that I would get more and more defensive later in the day which at first I thought it was good but I've soon realised you can miss out on decent opportunities if you become too defensive of the profits made.
