Is this thoroughly accurate ? Can I place complete faith in it ?

I am running my spreadsheet today via guardian, I have traded 3 markets this hour, total matched bets add up to 485.

The TX counter is saying 404.

I am operating with 2 second fill or kill orders, many of which are killed unmatched, all of which count towards transactions don't they ? My gut feeling is that I am probably close to the 1000 limit already this hour but BA is telling me otherwise. I have a rule in my spreadsheet to stop it placing bets on it gets to 1000, but can I trust it ?

If you match your own money when scrubbing your trade it doesn't count. That might be where the difference is coming from. Dan

Hi Nero
I usually have a cut off at 950 and have never incurred and charges...will be interested in the definitive answer though

Think I worked it out, the guardian counts all the small matches by others of my bets.. ie i input £500, 10 people match £50's worth = 10 in guardian. Where as it is just one transaction.

Saying this, my general question still stands. I was firing in an awful lot of bets this afternoon, the number did feel small, and I wasn't entirely convinced the tx counter went up by 2 for each killed FoK order, which it should, shouldn't it ?
