I like this, money available to back and lay on an advanced chart, hopefully with the ma it builds up a nice picture of pressure building on one side, could be handy for scalping situations.
Nice.

Pretty.

Sexy
Much better way, fill from top & base and use at the ladder footer :D
I will eventually have a 28” monitor with advanced charts. I think i just like the colours!

Me too, this is me just messing around, it's basically nothing more than WOM.... I better confess before the forum police come knocking.

I thought this too, glad to hear I'm not the only one who found them tricky.

There seems very little varied "opinion" in these markets at the moment, ie.within 20mins of off the price stabilises and then just stays there... Just watched Newc Nov Stks, and apart from fav drifting slightly nothing happened, even though 300k was matched.
Is it always like this at this time of year?

Although saying that, looks like my bot made 20p on the fav :D

Klopp is running in the 16:10 at Newcastle followed by Van Dijk in the 16:30 at Southwell.

Took my biggest loss in years today
Account crippling & soul destroying kind of loss after getting hijacked so fast.
Froze up like normal couldn't click hedge button even with all the right self-talk happening internally.

I wanted to cry, still do. I know it's all my fault and that hurts me even more.
I can't trade pre-race anymore I can't keep hurting myself like this
Sorry to hear that mate.
+1. Take a break eightbo, catch up on things you haven't had time for. Then try and get back to basics, or get back to what you were doing when successful.

An old piece of CBT advice I was given, when you've had a stressful event, is to ask yourself, will it matter in a week's/month's/year's time? It's surprising how quickly in trading a heavy loss is forgotten about.

Sorry to hear that 8

Its amazing how many times you can think you've finally cracked it only for something to come and bite you on the arse.

I know somebody like you who pays a lot of attention to the details will know what you need to do and what you need to stop doing so hopefully with a little distance between you and the loss you can come back stronger.

Get well soon eightbo and return stronger than before.
Thanks for the kind words guys.  Yeah needed a lengthy break after that one.

Decided to transition to 100% automation this year in sports markets now & manually swing trading crypto/financials (A few trades a week, longer time frames) on the side.  Haven't worked on much automation this month but the extra time I have each day is SO GOOD compared to typical day in BF markets trading manually.  Honestly felt like complete shit for a couple weeks after hiding out in my room but it's allowed me to steer to a better path so it's all good (one I feel confident is the right move for me).

Hoping good things come all your way too this new yr.

I've done ok but should have done a lot better.

I've missed out on 2 big moves because I forgot to turn off global settings! :oops:

Schoolboy error! :x

I threw away a few quid yesterday when I accidentally pressed the greenup button, next door to the close/green P/L column button. Fortunately you can rearrange the buttons on BA.

I keep doing that with the Sky remote, hitting the record button instead of the mute button!
