Thanks Dallas.

I primarily do everything through automation and have 2 on test so was looking for something to keep me occupied for a bit but thanks for all the tips. Now that I have managed to open a line of communication I have a question that I would like to ask. One I currently have on test is based on some rudimentary recording of odds I carried out. To place a bet it looks for the following:

Back odds between a and b
Historical Rel Odds Now >x <y ticks (Back odds & Lay odds)
HRO 1 sec ago >x <y ticks (Back odds & Lay odds)
HRO 2 sec ago >x <y ticks (Back odds & Lay odds)
HRO 3 sec ago >x <y ticks (Back odds & Lay odds)
HRO 4 sec ago >x <y ticks (Back odds & Lay odds)
HRO 5 sec ago >x <y ticks (Back odds & Lay odds)

Order of favouritism < x

When there looks to be a buoyant market like today, Thurs, Fri and Saturday it does ok. Today for example, 14 hits, 7 wins 7 losses. A win is approx 2.3 greater than a loss. Evenings and Sun, Mon Tues it is rubbish, hardly ever fires and when it does usually loses. I cannot get my head around why the tick gap which this is primarily driven by changes so much as to render the rule useless in those periods. Any solutions gratefully received
