Hello all :)

I'm new to the forum, have been leafing through here for advice for a while so thought I would dive in. I have been experimenting with the free version of BA for a while, placing £2 bets to get a feel for it. I'm now looking to buy the full version and try and put all the mistakes I have been making to good use. ;) I just wanted a couple of tips.

Does anyone have any tips for what the most liquid markets are at different times of the day? For example if I wanted to scalp during the day, when a lot of people are at work and the markets seem to be less active where I have looked, where have people found there is the most activity at that time?

Secondly, can anyone point me to a good guide to explaining Weight of Money a little more? I know it's important to movement in the market but every time I think I am starting to understand it, I make the wrong move. Also BA's way of displaying it is a little unclear to me, can anyone clarify what I'm being told on the One Click Screen?

Thanks!

I can tell you about volume in the markets as I have just finished a study of it.

Volume generally builds during the day towards the feature race that is typically at around 3pm(ish) most days. Matched bet turnover in the evening is geneally about 30% lower than the day time. Mondays are weak but things gets busier and busier during the week till it peaks on a Saturday. Sunday is quite quiet usually and behaves like it's the evening during the week.
