How do you guys deal with this much racing on? Decide to skip a meeting to give you space or get 2 trading screens on the go and hold on tight 😆

Usually dump the low quality stuff and focus on the better quality meetings/races, but overlapping racing still mess up the arrival of volume so you need to factor that in and keep an eye on when thats happening.

There are many ways to skin a cat! Another possibility is to consider what happens to the shitty markets when everyone else switches to the higher quality races.

I've just pruned the 66 races down to a much more managable 34 in Guardian. Good luck today!

The way I manage any days racing is to focus on the % moved but that's because it plays into my style of trading.

I still have every race loaded into Guardian but having a market movers list gives me an overview of where I think there may or may not be potential for me.

It also gives me the flexibility of being able to see beforehand where I'm able to walk away for a few markets, go for a coffee or whatever.

I can't reccoment lists enough, mold them to suit your personal strategy/strategies... keeps you focused on your preferences, stops over trading & cuts out doing silly things like trading out of boredom.

Decent idea. I see they have thrown a mixed card in at Haydock just for banter.
