recording data

[shadeed]

Hi - just starting out trading. Understand the basics and have been having a 'play' with live trading but quickly obvious that the absence of a strategy=guessing=losses. In terms of developing a trading strategy I am assuming analysing historical markets for repeated trends/patterns is a starting point How do I go about recording a series of markets (say, horse racing markets) so that I can then examine them? Is such data already available anywhere?

Fracsoft - is that the best option for data to do historical analysis?

I record all the days races to an excel spreadsheet simply by loading all the races from a Quick List into a single tab and then using the Excel facility in the program.

Howeger, I am encountering a problem in that it is a bit hit and miss when it decides to send the information across. sometimes causing a significant delay. The Excel log gives the following info:

12:14:13:187: Excel not updated. Requesting bets refresh. Last bets refreshed market does not match current market.
12:23:56:66: Requesting Excel refresh. Origin cell:A1
12:23:56:66: Excel update skipped. First update after market changed.

What exactly is this telling me?

Thanks
