Look; Ill probably not be too popular saying this; but if you detail exactly what your doing in a public forum, your strategy will most probably stop working overnight as everyone will attempt to do the same thing.
Good luck (Keep good notes going forward if you make any slight changes so you can look backwards etc)

You need to take into account the back book% is before you fire the trades in. I trade every dog in the race, so the odds on all of them cant drop otherwise the book would be totally unbalanced which would lead to all the other bots and manual traders scrambling to take any odds on offer to close out their positions...Crazyskier wrote:tomallen123 wrote:I tried creating a greyhound scalping bot but the problem I had was that there would be many big moves which made scalping impossible.
The price would be at 5.4 and someone would take it down to 4.5 in one hit and then it would continue downwards. This type of thing seemed to happen in most races, huge moves which took the lay and left me in a bad position.
I would get a few profitable scalps on the other runners but one big move on a dog and it would leave me in the red.

Yes, I seem to get the same problem quite often. I can go on a run of 4-5 consistent winners only to have a lay pop in at say 5s then in a matter of a single trade of as little as £80 by others the odds are then 3.8 and continue downwards, leaving me with a big fat red amount equal to the previous 4-5 wins LOL
Frustrating to try to get consistent results over 1000+ sample size... I continue persevering...
And congratulations to Cybernet if you have indeed swapped the £100 liability simulation trades into real cash trades with the same success. The screenshots are incredible, I'm nowhere near that consistency!!
So you have a condition of back book % being a certain figure? Also what you say about all dogs can't shorten at same time is of course true BUT if you've traded out for one tick on the ones that lengthen but lost a ton on the one or two that have a steam in, it still equals a loss overall.Crazyskier wrote:You need to take into account the back book% is before you fire the trades in.

A possible way round this is instead of using a stop loss use the rule typeCrazyskier wrote:My biggest issue is also the stop loss triggering far more often than a successful trade : - ()
I agree. Also, because of the spikes in Greyhounds whereby your SL could get blown and just sit there miles away from the current back price you could also fire in a back bet @ 1.01 which would makesure you at least close the trade at the current best price.Dallas wrote:A possible way round this is instead of using a stop loss use the rule typeCrazyskier wrote:My biggest issue is also the stop loss triggering far more often than a successful trade : - ()
"Close trade on selection with or without greening"
with the "close trade profit condition"
and set the value you want to close at.
On its own that will be similar to using a stop loss and wil be triggered with price spikes etc
just the same - but if you also add a
"Historical Reletives odds cond"
and configure it so that the price has to of risen over time or traded there a number of seconds this will eliminate stops due to sudden spikes.
YUP - that's what I see most races and the stop loss only seems to be set by ticks not asking price?[/quote]Crazyskier wrote:I agree. Also, because of the spikes in Greyhounds whereby your SL could get blown and just sit there miles away from the current back price
