Anyway bug fixed, will let it run the week, then evaluate again.
I really don't know how anyone makes a profit in these markets.

It is possible to have a very profitable strategy and yet to have quite long drawdown periods which as you streamline the strategy will become smaller and rarer. Don't forget to use the minimum stakes and not in relation to your bank size.goat68 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:17 pmBot has had an awful 2 days, all of last weeks profit gone and more..

Indeed the equity curve doesn't look very promising but I would continue to run the original strategy until I notice that it is unprofitable in absolutely all conditions and separately I would run other modified versions until I find useful lurking variables (they are there... just... lurking).
I don't remember what your strike rate is? If it was around 50% or more, apply the following strategy....goat68 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:17 pmBot has had an awful 2 days, all of last weeks profit gone and more..

If I lose 3 times in a row in one day, the bot will shut down for the whole day.
There are days that have liquidity and days that have less liquidity....
If you divide the races by days of the week, I suspect that the worst days are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday... I think it's pretty likely that your BOT will work well tomorrow.
Screen the individual days with a filter like the one I suggested.... What do you think?

Although with Guardian I am not sure you can store 'state' across markets?
Hmm, bot not doing much better today so far... all losers so far. But I can't blame bot, I just watched 1 race, a Mdn, and at 5mins there was a sudden move with volume, my bot got onboard, and as seems common nowadays after the move the market just chunders around going no-where, as though all the traders are trying to work it but to no avail... basically an efficient market. Someone puts a large order in, which you cannot predict, the market "shifts" then just stays there....
Anyway, the rule bug is fixed, which means my losses are small now.

Hmm, bots progress today: 9 markets, 9 losses, -£4.85
I'm just going upstairs to disable my Automation!!
I've had enough of the current settings, it needs a good tweak! I'm actually thinking since it seems to be very good at losing to reverse some logic. I suspect my "model" i've based it on is incorrect.
