Are there any files under the Shared Automation Files that actually work? I just want to know so I don't waste any more of my time trying them out.

They should all work but that doesn’t mean any of them will make a profit.

Your job as a trader is to match the strategy to the market. If you can't grasp that you are trading for the wrong reason.

I would treat them all as plug-ins and examples to build your automation. I think I've downloaded nearly every one and gone through them with a fine tooth comb to understand how they work and how/why Dallas has set them up. Then I've either tweaked them, combined them or used them as code snippets to build automation for the strategy I want to deploy.

In my opinion they are an invaluable learning tool.

They'll all make a profit in the right hands. You can give two people a chisel and a block of stone each, one makes the Venus de Milo and the other makes a pile of gravel.

What you can't do is just lazily run a bot on everything and expect free money to p!ss out of your computer.

I am a grown-up and do know that. Just looking at Automation that does work and returns a profit so I might be able to do my own.

You’ve got to do the hard yards I’ve just started a bot that’s won the last sixty races averaging anything between £2 to 50p per race. Do I trust it yet? Absolutely not.
