Is it possible to add additional data to market reports?

[Gooner2000]

I'm wondering if it's possible to get Bet Angel to add additional data to market reports.

Such as:

- Which automation rule triggered the trade
- Number of selections traded

I've been working with this spreadsheet: viewtopic.php?t=27187

Which is really good but i would like to be able to filter it by automation rule or use some other method to see profit/loss per automation rule.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You can’t currently get that level of detail directly into the Bet Angel market reports.

The built in reports don’t record which automation rule fired or break profit and loss down by individual rule. They only log what happened at market and selection level, not the internal automation logic that caused the trade.

There are a couple of practical workarounds people tend to use.

One is to structure your automation so that each strategy runs on its own markets or selection sets, then use the existing report filters to isolate results. It’s not perfect, but with a clean setup it can give you a reasonable proxy.

The more flexible approach is to log the data yourself when the rule fires. Using Guardian automation you can write values out to a file or to Excel at trigger time. For example, log the rule name, market id, selection, stake and matched price. Once you have that, it’s easy to build your own profit and loss by rule in Excel. Anyone wanting deeper analysis usually ends up doing something like this.

The spreadsheet you linked is excellent for market level analysis, but to get rule level performance you really need to tag or record it at source. Bet Angel doesn’t currently expose rule identifiers in the reports, so there isn’t a hidden option you’re missing.

If this is something you’d like to see built in, it’s worth posting it as a feature request as it’s come up before and tends to gain traction when multiple users explain the use case.

Brilliant reply! Thank you very much for the pointers
