Looking for a bot that generates small profits

[gazza1983]

This is my first post so hi to everyone

I come from a matched betting backgroud and im really interested in learning trading.
What does interest me while im watching though the tutorials is advanced automation.

Is there a fully functional bot that can generate only a small profit on pre defined races conditions as i want to play about with a fully functional working bot to understand all the parameters being used

This seems a really good new community for me and im very eager to learn but as im going through the videos the automation does interest me

Welcome!

Try clicking on the Bet Angel logo at the top of this forum and you'll see a bunch of different area, there's one called Bet Angel - Automation and another called Bet Angel Automation - Shared files. Here you can find some bots and plenty of discussion but you will not be given a working bot that will just make money with no effort, you will be pointed in the right direction though.

Hi, yes that was my understanding having looking through the threads and i totally understand the reasons why.

So i will need to look for a base bot then find different ideas from looking through the forum to help the bot. trial/modify/repeat

Yep and come up with your own ideas. Test extensively, Keep good records then begin to filter. Does a single idea of yours perform better at certain times, days, courses, prices etc chop up things in many different ways but be careful of confirmation bias. There's plenty to read, research and play with so you should be kept busy

never a truer word. 5 years later and still finding little nuggets that never fail to amaze.

1st step in transforming your DNA from armchair to battlefield warrior is to start with a single idea and see how far you can take it manually, then assuming reasonable success, break the manual steps (and observations) down into a flow chart of sorts. all the while, be keeping half an eye on the implementation of this flow chart as a BA rule. THis blueprint (even when manually trading) will allow you to thoughroughly test your idea in a structured way. Once you have a manual effort behaving as you expect, then set about transferring that flow chart over to a BA rule.

You won't capture all of the nuances and it will take a bit of time to be able to accept the fact that this coded model has different behaviours to your manual model but over time, you'll begin to think in both *languages*. Also over time, you'll build a small library that will offer up some reusable pieces of code. This will save you a lot of time and effort when you want to implement something fairly quickly to test.

Good luck with the challenge

im also new to this but automation is of interest.

For automation to work successfully to most markets will one advanced bot need to be created or will several bots need to be created and each specific bot be applied to that race

It makes sense to have a strategy then apply that to an appropriate market. If you run a price of automation generically, it will make money in some markets and not others. So, by all means, run it generically. But the next time you run it, remove it from the markets where it did worse.
