I don't see why you would need to do this after every race or trade, you aren't going to spot any patterns race to race, you need to zoom out to a wider time frame. You could do it once a week or month or 3 months whatever suits you. Should only take a few minutes to do. If you can't be bothered to do that I don't think you will be spending long looking at the data whatever method you choose to record keep.Brovashift wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 2:02 pmThat Betfair Mind Games spreadsheet looks pretty good as it separates your racing and football results. The racing is broken down into a lot of sub categories where you can really pinpoint anything that is really working, or not working in your trading. Good for a newbie anyway.
Only negative for me is the manual updating....Stopping after each trade to update a log, unless its a scribble on a pice of paper infront of me, will break my flow and probably require a mental reset each time.
As a starting point I would give it a go, it might be enough for what you need or might act as a starting point for developing further.
I want to record more than just P&L, like on the BFMG spreadsheet, I just dont want to do it manually if I dont have to.
Because I go from race to race/course to course the info will help me pin point on what type of race and at what course I tend to take my biggest hits and allow me to see what needs work or what to avoid all together. Although I don't believe anything should be avoided as everything is tradable, but like Peter says, "for every strategy there is a market and every market a strategy". So far I have 4 trading styles that work for me with varying success, Im just want to identify what is working where. I have a rough idea, but going forward I want to record and analyse my performance more efficiently. Thats the idea anyway
