Got destroyed again today, it's such a consistent theme that the only idea I have left atm is doing the exact opposite of what I naturally want to do.
It's not like I'm chasing every move either so got no idea what's going on.
Strange cus can trade the weaker AUS HR markets without issue for the most part but these UK ones nothing seems to work.
Just feels like it's so heavy with trend-based bot activity here that the market isn't doing what I would expect humans to do at certain points.

Will give it 5 days and if still no results will walk away from these markets once again, no point if losing ££ every day

Aside from that if anyone wants to swap their profitable UK/IRE racing trading (1 week minimum), I can offer you my profitable AUS HR recordings, or I can help you with any automation or MS Excel needs you may have etc.

There must be someone out there where we can both help eachother.  Cheers

Think its just the nature of the markets at this time of year especially the last few weeks.

Lots of overreactions and corrections.

I stepped away for the last half hour for jsut that reason.

Tried to use the time constructively by giving the cat her spot on treatment, never ends well... for me :cry:

my theory is that the ratio of punter / trader is higher for australian racing in general.
i do mostly in running for uk racing, not great at "traditional" pre race trading either

You posted this before 2pm, I more often than not run into problems in the races before 2pm the same as I do in the evening ones. I find my results are much better if I just focus on 2-5pm

yeah agree re: AUS ratio.
reassuring to hear that it's not needed to solve this puzzle but I still want to, have done the other regions just feel I'm missing the technical aspect

much prefer in running for sure but that's on the backburner til I get MSA as got good bots working there

interesting to hear about the variance in your results at different timeslots, I'll take a quick look as well once I've got enough results


...
just managed a couple decent trades after a long lunch break, i've gotta get more markets in, not sure why i was so quick to moan after a few days results. think it's cus I've tried so many times before so I'm quick to beat myself up if it's not going my way

will give it at least til end of the month before changing too much and see where I'm at

Did the 13.38 Wincanton suspend before the finish?

I wasn't watching but did wonder if something like that happened, seemed strange if it was a photo looking at the lowest prices
I did grab a screenshot of the MO screen as soon as it suspended

Yes, about 15-20 secs before they crossed the line.
