Opinions on TPD - is it worthwhile?

[Dave64]

For automation, I’d keep the rules simple at first, log every trigger, and add filters one at a time, so you can see which metrics genuinely add value and which are mostly noise. I’ll be interested to hear what you find after the next 450 races.

Well I've finally got to the stage where I've created a simple rule based on my TPD observations over the last few weeks so the next few days could be interesting

I've been trying to sign up, but can never get past the register screen.
tried all the usual, add the email to contacts/ different email addresses etc..

slightly bizarre that they have all this data but can't sort the website out to be functional.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had very good experiences contacting TPD through their website. It might be worth dropping them a message there, as they’ve always been very helpful with me.

It's not just you. I just tried and had the same problem.

TPD customer service said they were having issues with outbound emails this week, most likely this issue is connected.

Hi, yeah emailed them and they got back pretty quick and got me registered, they did say that the email system is down for a few days and its all linked..

To confirm that we are having email related issues - the email host mistakenly suspended our sending emails and we now have to jump through a load of hurdles to get the service restored. This apparently may take two or three business days. We are receiving emails and if you are having sign-up problems please drop an email to [email protected] and one of the Team will set you up manually. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I'm having some success with my TPD automation but must admit I'm still a little confused with the meaning of the metrics. Am I correct in thinking that having a CE or VE value close to 100 is the optimum and that anything significantly higher or lower, i.e 140 or 60 is a negative signal? I'm sure that I read somewhere that the lower the figure, i.e closer to zero, the more efficient a horse was travelling? I know that the figures need to be used in various combinations and with plenty of other factors brought into the equation, and I'm making good progress with my current strategies, but which one is correct. Any advice or help would be appreciated
