@andy-lucy no extra software, it's just a term for earmarking a set amount (bank) to a single strategy. Say you have £1000 to trade with and 5 strategies - you might opt to £200 bank for each strategy. That way, if if one goes on a bad streak, it can still recover and doesn't negatively impact the other strategies.
It's really easy to blow a bank if you're using the whole thing on multiple strats!

@john-folan I do the same. I load up mine and leave it. Different banks for different approaches so it never clashes.
I fully accepted I’m never going to be as smart as the software so best to just get out of the way!

This discussion made me chuckle. I don’t even look. I just load them all on and let the bots sort it out. I’ve got stuff laying to a liability, stuff laying to stake, stuff backing to stake. All at different compounding rates(so percentages of their individual banks. It all sorts itself out in the long term even if it can be counter productive on occasion. I like @Keith-Driscoll ’s approach though.
I’m just lazy

@martin Hello.
Today we have an example with the same horse in two different strategies to back and Lay.
Ayr 16.15 the Horse Rowdy Rustler
Back the Fav 2,5-6
Pace Lays 3-11I scheduled already the back strategy. To let it run or to avoid this race and horse?
I think you're reading the email wrong. They're not the same horse. The Back the Favourite is backing whichever horse is the favourite at the time. The Pace Lay is laying that particular horse. The two strategies can work together as you're still expecting one horse to win and the other to lose. The only way it doesn't work is if the pace lay IS the favourite

I've always used the rule to dump the lay selection, as they usually have the lowest ROI%. It works over the long term.
Make sense.
Thanks, mate

@martin Hi, Yes they have been working fine for a few months it's just today I couldn't get them to pick any selections up, very strange. I'm hoping it's just my phone, I'll check them on my laptop in the morning and hopefully my phone will sort it's self out.
-
@daniel-sawkins have you turned them on?
-
@martin I have another important question.
Many times we have in the same race Back strategy and Lay strategy?
What do i need to do in this case?
Exist a way how to activate 2 different automated strategies on fairbot for the same race or we need to avoid this race or choose only one strategy? -
@Adam Hi Adam, do you have any suggestions on how to get my daily selections working as the filters are not picking anything up for me? Thanks.

@keith-driscoll Still nothing with or without year filter. It's been fine to be honest with this filter added so I wasn't sure if that would make any difference.
It's something to do with moving to 2023. Seems to have caught a few users out. Make a copy of your strategy, and take a filter out one-by-one.
