I wanted to wait till the end of my trading day to say this so I didn't curse myself but I've found it pretty good. I just think the money has come later than normal because of the clashes and the races all being on RUK, except I suppose those races that had a 15 minute gap infront of them which IMO never makes it ideal anyway.

"Those figures" are pretty poor in comparation to real fulltimers and tbh I felt I lost my edge lately as my last 30 days P&L is much below "0" which is quite shocking after being successfull for the last 2 years. Answering Your question - I have follwed weight of money mostly, when I 'felt' it was real. Sometimes I took speculative position with several ticks stop loss in my head and being patient waiting for the move to develop.

I've had the chance to look at Saturday's data and there was something very quirky with it.

Friday seemed normal as did Sunday but Saturday was odd. I guess some of it comes down to how it affects your trading style but for me it will go down as an odd day.

What do you mean by quirky/odd? Can you elaborate a bit?

Yeah I traded yesterday and it felt 'normal' again, but Saturday definitely felt unusual.

The key oddity was fill rate. It just wasn't there on Saturday. We keep seeing these odd days when it seems it would be easier to drive to the course and give your money to a bookie than get a decent sized order filled on Betfair. Really odd.

Could it be that one key player wasn't trading do you think?

Not sure. We can pick up on it fairly quickly and can see it. But can't explain it.

Hands up who things Betfair are in their own markets :?: :roll:

I thought the fill rate late on was pretty good, better than recently for sure, at least that's how it felt to me. Earlier on it was weak for sure due to the clashes.

The only other thing was that it felt subjectively to me like there was a bit less spoofing and pushing the prices around as much, which I suppose would mean a bit less volume overall, but isn't the sort that I personally 'enjoy' anyway if you know what I mean

That's always the suspicion - I just wonder whether they are trying out certain tweaks to the order matching algorithm on certain days.
