shaun - if you're developing in .net, definitely investigate the CCW introp route, as well as the Excel-DNA stuff. it literally does allow you to use BA/Excel integration but at the same time take advantage of the OOP features offered by.net.
It's C#,SQL & API....the last thing I need is more TLAs (3 letter acronyms) and that's without even looking at AWS EC2 VPS. :)
Any canna take any more strain on my dilithium crystals, as another well known Scot says.
good luck - it's a deep rabbit hole yer teetering on ;) l8r

Could you not start a new 'garbage' thread or a 'guess what the f**k I'm talking about' thread?

What's your native language Stella? Google translate seems to turn what you're saying into meaningless garbage. It's either that or it's the Buckfast doing it.

I haven't done any 'proper' trading for almost 3 months, it's 100% 247 development at the moment still.
Do you mean you aren't actually trading the Betfair markets? If so, it seems bizarre to me how much 'advice' you post on the forum if you aren't actually a successful active trader. Or have I misunderstood what you meant? :?

A retired doctor can give advice you younger doctors, you don't need to be active.

Very true, so Shaun used to be a top trader who is now retired and just tinkering with automation, my mistake. Do you know why he gave up full time trading Derek? Just made too much money and wanted to leave some for the rest of us?

I didn't say he gave up or retired, I didn't even know he hasn't been trading. I'm just saying if you stop trade for three months your trading knowledge will still be up to date. Two years may be different as the markets will have changed substantially in that time.

I've been trading on and off since 2000, plotting and gambling since '82
I've been trading fulltime for about 2 years.
I've become bored with my approach (staring at the ladder all day).
I've taken a step away to learning a new language (C#, after nearly 40yrs of using Basic) and I'm writing my own quant trading system.
That's in beta test at the moment with a full implementation due in December.
I wear size 9 shoes and 30w/32l jeans

:lol: I didn't mention they're getting a bit snug and drag on the floor. Given a choice I'd be in my comfy XL overalls all day :)
...well that's the gamble anyway. Sat here watching little muddy Irishmen isn't how want to spend my best years, there's plenty of time for that when I'm dribbling down my cardigan waiting for the nurse to bring me my soup.
