Australian racing

That was an uneventful night - just 5 posts!!

I've got my new account but haven't been able to fund it yet due to my sources still being tied to the closed account.

My points balance starts from zero as well, not that it matters much now with 2% commission.

I ran some bots overnight and they did OK. Not much to say really.

You mean commission discount. I'm not too fussed about points or comm. discount now, I've eased off mid-week Aussie racing and just focus on Saturday. I've lost my PC page as well and after a whole week talking to the dimwits at BCS I just haven't got the energy to contact them about it, for the moment at least.

I am wondering though, if with a new account I might be able to place bets on the Sportsbook and get gubbed again.

Let's have it lively !!!!  Buzzing for this session

Also, popped a slightly modified ver. of the UK-IRE IP bot on the session as well tonight in prac. mode, no clue how it'll get on

Worst possible start, 1st at Pakenham got stung badly on the wrong side of that move. Now to claw it back slowly over time

Order flow not showing up properly on my ladder. Feels like <10% of bets are showing up.

What do you mean 'stopped out'?

It's great to be back trading again with a new account after all the hassle I had last week.

I only risking 10% of my capital for any session as historically have begun trading poorly after that point.
I said day but I meant session, could've traded Sat afternoon with a fresh chunk of risk but decided to take the day off in the end.  Bots clawed it all back anyway by end of day anyway which was speeded up my recovery from that TRAUMA hahaha. Oh man that was a painful one given things have been going fairly pleasantly recently.

That's shit, come back stronger next week

You better believe it.
After I had a nap and let the creative juices flow later in the day I managed to extract a lot of value out of what happened. I always try to let any unwanted emotions play out away from markets then when I'm feeling good I'll switch into a state of gratitude for the markets beating me with a stick when I step a foot wrong in likeness to an oldskool martial arts teacher or something, as I know it's an opportunity for me to improve my process.  I've likely still got a good way to go to catch up to the rest of you regulars on here but overall I'm really enjoying going from good trader→great trader when compared with slightly profitable boom/bust trader→good trader.

Heard a great quote the other day which I LOVE & always find myself coming back to when I take a hit:

"Growth is not a linear journey. Embrace the ups and downs"

Just a few words and instantly brings me back to big-picture thinking when I need it.

When someone hits the offered price it comes up e.g. £20.

But on 20ms in an active market where I can see the selection vol. increasing rapidly I'm only seeing the odd number flash up e.g. 1 every 2 seconds instead of 30+ in that same timeframe which I'm used to from a dif. API product.
Wondering if it's a limitation of BA or just my settings wrong ??

Yes, they're very different. UK has more volume and can be more volatile. Australia is quite weak midweek but the big Saturday meetings have a lot more liquidity and are more stable. I've always preferred Australia but it's just the one day for me now.
