Thinking about it, inplay it's mostly random price jumps based on what's happening, so to find an "edge" you'd need some "extra" info that not everyone else has eg:
- GPS location and low bet latency
"fundamental" analysis pre-race which might give you an edge on how the race might run
I think trying to find something based "purely" on price action is near nigh impossible.
So I am going to try some "web scraping" maybe!
Something on those lines.
Pre-market sometimes over reacts anticipating what may happen during a race. Then any decision automated/semi automated should be looking to see what is actually happening. If different to what should be happening, ie: Change of tactics by trainer/jockey, bad luck at the start, then this will be a potential edge.
Also, there are pegs placed at certain points willing to be matched irrespective of how the race is panning out and can distort the IP flow.
So your research may be right but cannot account for a crazy order placed that might throw the figures out. Fortunately, these are few and far between.
I've also noticed an increase in IP activity over the last 12 months+
