Using LTO_Report in TSM
LTO_Report is a String Filter in TSM. We can either search for individual strings/phrases or we can search for Multiple strings/phrases. Lets start off by looking for an individual phrase. It can appear anywhere in the Race Report so we need to use wild cards either side of the string/phrase we are searching for. That means we want to use the *LIKE* operator.
A better way of searching strings can be by using the *LIST* operator. This allows us to provide a comma separated list of strings to search for inside the LTO_Report. When we use LIST, we only need one of the strings to be found.
This is the equivalent of writing ‘led or prominent’. We only need one of these strings to be found for it to fulfil the criteria. If we want to make sure ALL our strings in the LIST are found in the LTO_Report then we need to use the *LIST* (AND) Operator as below :
LTO_Report Added to Analysis Breakdown for Historical Results
LTO_Report has now been added to Analysis Breakdown. For any historical data results press ‘Analyse Results’ button.
Then press ‘Additional Breakdown’ button.
Then select LTO_Report from the dropdown. The 150 phrases are searched for and a breakdown of their frequency, Strike Rate, Profit and ROI are displayed. I have sorted by Profit in the screenshow below.
Also interesting is the least profitable. For instance at a quick glance it might be worth making sure the LTO_Report does NOT include the phrases – ‘raced in last’, ‘no impression’, ‘tailed off’ and ‘weakened from 2f out’. See screenshot below.
You can either filter the breakdown further by adjusting the min/max profits and press ‘Copy Results to Clipboard as a LIST’ or make a quick note of the phrases by hand.
To rule them out in the results as a query you would use *NOT LIST*(AND). This means none of the strings in the LIST can appear at all in the LTO_Report.The full string I am using is – raced in last,no impression,tailed off,weakened from 2f out
Make sure there are NO blank spaces at the start or end of each string (Unless you want to search for the blank space as well). Each string has to be separted by a comma.
Using the same data as before this is the new result. By taking out the no-hope selections, the profit and ROI has increased.
