Difficult to call really Jeff
Something has changed in-running for certain (XM pre Off hasnt really affected me, if anything it seems to have helped me).
In-running: I was looking around the other software forum and the web in general last night and a number of people have noted exactly the same. Although the consensus appears to be that the liquidity in Running isn't as high as it has been in the past. I'm not so sure that is true.

So two possibilities: Either Betfair have changed the algorithm (although they say they haven't)...or someone/team has recently introduced a new system of their own. If it's the latter then hats off to them. I love a challenge! :D

Would be interested in hearing any comments from other traders using in running/auto strategies, either here or PM me

Thanks
regards
Peter

Well just to close this one down...
Still of the opinion that something has changed over the last month, but had to adapt as they say...when one door closes.. (Cost me a few hundred to work it out though! :( plus lost profits. But made the losses back and more today

That last race at Stratford was a typical example (Didn't see the race on TV)..but "Life Of a Luso" traded very low as if it was about to cross the line and then literally in the blink of an eye Spock went directly to 1.01..hope someone else laid "Life of a Luso" too..will be interesting to see how much was traded on that one and how low it went..
Did anyone see this race, was it a close run thing??
Manual trading was much harder today IMO (concurred in the other threads posted today)..

Peter
