@john-folan Thanks for sharing John

Rather than post the SOL's daily, here is the file I use to get my qualifiers from. It is the same as the one on the megathread, but has the runner numbers and DSLR rules removed. @Martin, can you add this to the pinned post. It's not a replacement for the current one so leave that there(so you can check your fully filtered results.
Hope that makes sense.
Read the first post on both threads.

@fraser-cord Yeah, that’s what I mean. The software says it’s seven but John has had a losing run of 12. I can only assume it’s because John doesn’t do Saturday’s with that strat, hence the longer losing run
That and a couple of borderline ones that decided to hit the bot but not the software. It came back from that it will come back from this

@lee-colvin Yeh i just ran the software from april 2021 after looking at todays bad news, software's longest losing run says 7, will be 8 tomorrow morning once it updates.
I guess you take the rough as long term this has to turn (surely), but man alive its been a hard few days.
-
@karl-pick same, shocking end to jan, lucky im on low stakes
-
@john-folan A losing run of 12 is quite a bit more than what the software states mate, it only says the longest losing run is seven. Is there perhaps a glitch somewhere maybe John?
-
@john-folan ...BEEN a bad last 10 days after a good first 20 for me.
-
@john-folan I've been looking back through my strategies and December and January have been the longest losing runs/ biggest downturns. I'm sure the abandoned races throws the figures out as there's fewer trades to swing it

I shall be laying the favourites in these races 10 seconds before the start time subject to the following conditions:
Number of Runners 4-14.
Odds Between 1.8-2.4.
DSLR: 3-200.Full strategy available here in the pinned post.

Longest losing run I’ve had on these is 12 and my biggest drawdown is 17% of its bank. Heading that way again it would seem.

@john-folan
If thats the lay at low odds strat in the presets i dont think 'laying the favourite' is actually how it works. Not how the backtester plays it anyway. If you look through all the individual results you will see a lot (and its way more than the odd one) of races where its placing 2 lays. Generally odds of over 2 when it does this but there are quite a lot of them. -
@john-folan @Lee-Colvin , just need to keep the fingers crossed. The data is clearly there, back to normal next moth please.

@john-folan Six trades, six losers. Rough day indeed mate
Hopefully February is a better month as December and January have fallen. Obviously I went live with real money on December 1st which was then followed by the strategies only two losing months to date
I’ve live traded them since 26th April last year. They’ve been great apart from these two months. Convinced it’s the weather and the disrupted racing. Annoying but that’s trading.

Tough on these lately. Don’t think the cold weather and intermittent racing has helped one bit
