I am getting the odd horse skipped on a bet in live that on backtest and i think i know why. I am sure someone here will know if my theory is correct.
I think my automation criteria are not using a similar pattern to the backtest. In my automation i use lay price < value but i have a feeling the backtester uses LTP < value. Would that be correct? I can easily change my automation if thats the case.

Just posting Classic Trobs here from now on. I think everyone has the software now. Flat Pace is running just under it's lowest strike rate for a month anyway and is probably best left alone (although I am still staking them).

@john-folan how are the dobs doing john? are you finding more success in dob or trobs?
dont worry about the flat pace it will come back
Thanks. I know it will. Losing runs play havoc with me though. Always have. Better at ignoring that little voice these days tho
I find trobbing better value most of the time. Only slow horses seems to do better dobbing.

@adam
The difference in offer @ 4 to take available 1.01 to 4 is over 3000 points which i certainly wasnt expecting though i do understand there is a small technical difference between the methods. If that is correct then i will probably bin that strategy since the backtester reporting a profit using 'Take Available' simply cant be trusted if the strategy involves inplay. -
@jonathan-jones Click the changelog button and see if you can see the latest changes on 13/08/2022 listed:
I just had a look and re-saved the strategy we were discussing in your config, because although the fix was applied to the software itself, the strategy was still saved from a version where the issue was present.
Give the page a refresh and have another look now...

Is there a way to check if i am using the latest version ofthe software? A fix was deployed over the weekend but its still looking very broke to me. I have cleared the cache (pretty sure it worked since it asked me to log back into the software and other sites i had open).

@nick-allan BA Has plenty of videos to help. Plus, files to download. The best way is to use the files, and play around with them in 'play' mode.

One flat pace. Usual rules.

@adam
Thanks,
So it is what i thought it was. Might of found a small bug then. The reason i asked was when i changed from "Take Available" at 4-4 to "Offer" at 4 the profit dropped from plus 1200 to minus 1500. Obviously i couldnt get me head round that since the 2 options should produce similar results in the backtest. This isnt happening today and i am seeing the results i expect but yesterday isnt the first time i have seen that odd behaviour when swapping between "Take Available" and "Offer". I gave up with some experiments in a "Lay the Field" type strategy because of it.
