Surely it's one of the least time-consuming markets, if it's possible to catch a big swing of price in like 5 seconds, compared to 5 minutes on prerace, compared to 5 days on prematch football
Has to be the most opportunity-compressed market on the exchange, so much so that its too fast for people to frame trades, and for an inplay trader 1 sec delay is a joke honestly Like on footy after halftime when they take ages to switch the delay and its basically trading heaven
No but I'm only semi-taking the piss last few comments, you can just let others do their pre-market research and their DD and it's all mostly already taken into account anyway, cuz you can see everything from the inplay activity which runners people fancy etc, you just need bigass ladders Like Iambic says there is some good insight to be gained to anticipate oppos slightly faster than others but I learned to always keep an open mind no matter the market and try keep the context to a minimum as I don't want to be influenced too much by my own little biases, like if I'm anticipating something that is expected to happen I might miss something better that is unexpected etc, I like a clean slate on all marekts ideally.
But ye very similar to how you can trade footy inplay without live pics and still roughly know what's going on cuz the activity itself paints its own live picture of the match etc, which is something I know you're familiar with already
But unlike tennis where those with fastest feeds know definitively that a point is either won or lost there is too much uncertainty here so there is room for normal traders and not just cheating speed merchants Personally don't care about the sport of horse racing itself so too lazy to look up stats/form etc anyway but as a trader I can appreciate the market structure.
