Most people who trade seriously would be trading 12 months a year, at least on horses anyway. Might be a bit different for traders of other sports as they are seasonal.
Personally I much prefer trading October to March than I do April to September.
any advice please
Im not aware of anyone who stops trading around sept/oct til march, there is nt as many oppertunities during the winter but most will still trade on a daily basis especially horse racing.
By the end of Aug if not earlier most are willing for sept/oct to come so they can wind down a bit and draw breath so thats prob the better time to go on a course when there is nt as much happening so you got more time to learn and digest things as this time of year its pretty full on.

ok thanks dallas ive have noticed you appear in various posts all over the forum so when ur good enough to give advice I take it on board I have decided not to deposit fro the time being and continue in practice mode as a member gave me the advice to try new ideas and approaches and that's proving most helpful to me as I find I'm holding back on an entry and waiting for something to find me rather then me keep trying to predict the future moves todays small sample would of been a green one so that's a positive
I've struggled with evening markets - these are what i have to work with usually due to normal job - and ive wondered why they behave differently. They seem a bit more unpredictable, a bit more spiky - like irish races. Is this due to the larger number of traders vs mugs? Any ideas folks?
The main reason is the overall quality of evening races is much less than afternoon so it requires a slightly different approach, also as you touched on the money in the market is also different which in turn changes the characteristics.kodiac wrote:I've struggled with evening markets - these are what i have to work with usually due to normal job - and ive wondered why they behave differently.
