Going into the last day of Cheltenham, I've got a shot at a clean sweep on Betdaq

Good work, Euler.

I don't suppose you know of any bookies I can have a bet on you completing the clean sweep do you?

Well Icant beat Peter's result (and no doubt your Betfair account was significantly higher!)
The attached is all automation; I havent clicked a single ladder today
Worth having a play around with the Automation in Betangel, if you are using streaming, test and double test before you let it loose (suggest never backing or laying at the avail price in streaming mode)
Its a powerful piece of kit now betangel :D

Excellent work PeterLe

I'd be interested to know what your average %SR is?

I get the impression you stomach a number of small losses, in order to hammer out a big return when it arrives

Morning Letiss/Dallas,
Spot on; a very low strike rate. Its a bit like fishing. I set the rod up in a morning and then let it do its thing. It never get tired, I do my day job!
As long as it's in profit at the end of the month, Ill take what ever it gives me. If ever I get to the point where I start to lose money on betfair; I will pull the plug immediately.
I actually stopped watching it these days as when I saw a large green screen, i was always tempted to green up manually
When I analysed it over three months, I found that had I just left it running and not intervened, it would have returned more profit
Its more to encourage others to take a look at automation if they havent tried it already. The only thing I would reiterate is be very careful if you are in play and streaming, check and double check your conditions; exposure etc.
Regards
Peter

If I could get any of my automation to do just a tenth of that I would be very happily retired!!!

You're a good example to many struggling traders, who constantly fall into the death trap.........chasing losers and letting red screens go IP.

The name of the game is to make money over time, not to necessarily make money on every single market you get involved in.

Good work fella

Superb result, PeterLe

Although my focus is manually trading the pre-race markets, I think this serves as an excellent example of what is possible if you put the hours in.

Great results, your pure inspiration to a small time auto user like me! What's the quickest fill/kill you use?

Hi
The fill/Kill varies enormously from 0.2 right up to 30 secs. I would rec that you dont go below this in streaming as it will fire in multiple bets
Just had a good win at DownR 13:50, as no doubt LinusP will have too :D
(2 traded at 1.01)

Just one tip, when you have multiple rules per horse, you can adjust your stake to identify which rule triggered etc...
Eg Rule 1 may fire in £2.01, Rule 2 £2.02, rule 3 £2.03 etc.
At the end of the day it helps provide clarity on what's working and what isnt..
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter - Was this accumulative result just from Cheltenham or all races for the 16th?

Always a bit self-conscious of posting bigger results when I know some people have had a tricky day. But I thought today was interesting, purely because of the above average money at Lingfield. Some big volume today, much bigger than I imagined and you can see that in the results.
