Sorry to interrupt the chit-chat, although it did make me choose myself an avatar!
So i've been busy adding previous race finish data to my race data recording and it shows some interesting although very subtle observations, i've attached a couple of good examples:
30th Mar 16:52:
"Red" triangle in top graph is previous race finish'es triangle length is 1min, as you can see previous race finishes at about -15mins and immediately triggers "activity" in prices. Note, prices are LTP as I find it shows more activity better, ie.more "spikey"!

30th Mar 15:00:
This one shows the previous 3 finishes, -27mins, -19mins, and -5mins.
-27mins finish has little impact on this market, as expected. -19mins finish has a reasonable input of activity, -5mins has a significant drive of activity, as expected... this image also shows the typical dead on 2mins activity.

Bottom graphs are WOM..
So what does this all tell me, well... volume/activity comes into the market when previous races finish, doh!
