    @jonathan-jones daily qualifiers can take 24 hours to show after changing the filter I believe, check the upcoming qualifiers when you run the strategy instead for instant results.

    Shouldn't take this long. The daily qualifiers runs roughly every 90 minutes currently and will pick up the latest active strategies each time it runs.

    @jonathan-jones wonder if the big festivals distort the rest of racing, seems like they do, will be interesting to monitor moving forward

    @jonathan-jones I'll need to look into my results for the past couple of years but I'm pretty sure all the big racing events my strategies have struggled but I might be wrong.๐Ÿ˜•

    Well, thats been a totally crap week.
    Incidentally i checked the historical data i have for my portfolio experiment and Cheltnam weeks in 2021 and 2022 were totally crap. Should of looked before hand really. Wont be trading over cheltnam next year for sure.

    @alastair-gray

    Good to see mate ๐Ÿ‘ puts it more into a general perspective alright, definitely think looking at it over the longer term is the way to go. I was hoping I could withdraw a bit every month or so but I might have to extend that timescale a wee bit given recent events ๐Ÿ˜„

    If i change the version of a strategy thats active (so the one i want the daily qualifiers to use), how do i know if that change has been reflected in the qualifiers? I changed one this morning from one version to the other, but looking at the daily qualifiers i dont think (but have no real way of knowing) its showing the right ones.

    @alastair-gray just make sure your bot is set up to allow bets on both UK and Irish races - the ready-made bot is set up for UK only.

    Just variance I think. Not currently close to the max drawdown.

    These are my live results since I started them in June last year. I've had losing months, but so far not had a losing quarter. Only difference with John's is my bot doesn't fire on Irish races - think it's due to the 'class' filter.

    Since its now been 2 weeks i thought i would give a bit of an update on my portfolio experiment of trading all the strategies on a small account with a 1% risk.

    Its been a rubbish start to be honest. I am in profit but i am also in drawdown and miles behind target. I am looking at the 'target' being the average daily points as determined by the historical data. That is 4.1, i am currently on 0.56 for a total of ยฃ3.26 profit. The drawdown and number of days in drawdown is nothing out of the ordinary from the historical (so far). at 8.6% and 7 days thats pretty common in the past 2 years. What is slightly worrying is that over 14 days i have only had 4 positive days. I cant see a period that poor at all in the last 2 years of data. Guessi picked a bad time to start.

    So, the experiment continues. Next update will probably be at the end of the first month.

    Itโ€™s drifted a bit. I took 1.39

    Worth a go at that price.

    I keep looking at Constitution Hill. I will be laying tomorrow as whilst it will probably win that horse is way to short and isnโ€™t used to being raced off the bridle.

    Iโ€™ll take a price as low was possible. Canโ€™t resist something that short. Altior springs to mind.

    @scott-higgins
    Couldnt you do that here?
    Set a filter by year (then probably by race type to reduce the number crunching). Set bet type to back, BSP (or whatever) then set the grouping to entry price. Wouldnt give a % but would give group totals and total (so wouldnt need a phd in math to work it out). IF you wantedto go further you could download the individual trades.
