Must be a record for the amount of bullshit you can squeeze into the name of a horse?

the bullshit for me is these damned spikes in prices 4 or 5 mins out ... how you can have a position in the right direction with these things happening is one of the things thats really baffling me again..................

yes, I see, last at Taunton on fav looked like a prime example.
It didn't just fall off a cliff, it fell off of many which is ok because I get to explore the negative data. Problem I see is with setting stop losses.... I need to save on those losses somehow but there is a balance to be had, a lot of those positive trades were at some point negative so in theory a stop loss could reduce the strike rate, no stop loss and it keeps dropping off of cliffs, catch 22.

Almost every race today has had 1 of these spikes. I now do absolutely noting until the spike comes in, there was an pattern forming after each spike today across all markets that you could take advantage off, that is until that pattern changes of course...MAGTRADEUK wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 2:47 pmthe bullshit for me is these damned spikes in prices 4 or 5 mins out ... how you can have a position in the right direction with these things happening is one of the things thats really baffling me again..................

HMM Makes me wonder then as its across all markets if it is some kind of bot. I find it more that a bit off putting as I am at a level where I cant compete with this kind of move and am more likely therefore to just stay away from those markets.
