Just as a way to encourage people to experiment (carefully :D ) with automation
I didnt see every race today (and I did have some losers, they wasnt all like this), I just aim to be in profit at the end of the month. Liabilities set to >-7 (but there was some races that went less than -7 because of the speed Im firing in the bets etc)
Dallas has created some basic bots for you to develop, so never been a better time (by the way, if it helps; I was looking through my P&L's this morning and I found that I was most in profit on these auto strategies on the 17-20th Jan. Because I keep detailed notes I was able to wind back to see what changes I had made a long the way and I corrected them today). You nearly always have to stray away from the beaten track to test new things; but make sure you leave some breadcrumbs to find your way back
In two months time, you wont remember of you had a 0.3 Fil/Kill or a 0.9 for eg, so keeping notes is paramount
Good Luck
Regards

Very interesting and I will certainly start to look at automation seriously soon.
As my trading has got better and better I think automation will become easier, due to a lack of understanding at the beginning I think that why automation is hard. If I was to go and create a rule now... I would be so more particular to a certain market type.

What was your stakes on these screenshots?

£2 on the back side (sometimes£4) and aiming for a max libility of -7 on the lay if that triggers first, although as stated above, it can often go less than -7 due to the speed it places bets etc

I had quite a few other winning races Marc, I just didnt include them in the screen shot (I had some losers too)
It was an OK day yesterday (I honestly havent even looked at the total P&L ’s yet). I try not to set myself an average as such.

I hope this serves as a motivation to people, particularly those starting out. I certainly know that when I was starting I used to see similar results from people such as Adam Heathcote and it pushed me on during the bad times, because I knew what I was trying to achieve was possible.

Just had a great month which included my best trade ever profit wise.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again :)

Now that's a screenshot AMX

In fact, that's the only time I'm ever likely to have a wank that contains an image or reference to Carla Suarez Navarro

Shows how far I am away from ever cracking it, I don't even understand what this screenshot is supposed to be showing.

Is it 3 different strategies?

It appears to show 3 different outcomes for the same race when the winner has reached 1.01. Does each automation carry the same maximum liability of £7?

Its actually three acounts of mine Guy showing the profits over fours races. When I built the strategy, each is a slight variation. the idea being that if one produces a loss the others will negate it and visa versa, sometimes all three win (and fail too). Overall all three in profit at the end of the month
I had a eureka moment last night (i think!), so keen to explore that today. It should limit the losses but continue to produce nice profits
