**Disclaimer** This is not a real edge, just an observation based around luck **Disclaimer**

As with anything we do. Sometimes it's nice to share it with others. I have a few friends who have had a dabble at matched betting or just straight betting and eventually they always ask "what's this trading lark about?". I've never really seen anything that explains the bare bones basics of it so I always end up opening a race and chucking £2 stakes down just to give them an example.

So there I am. Narrating how it all works and explaining everything. I open a trade without really reading the market (I'm looking at it through a phone screen as I record it by hand on my phone). Every single time I do this, I am successful. I just can't seem to go wrong. I have probably opened up 20 trades overall and I've had 100% success.

All you guys go on about how "nobody is going to tell you their edge". Well. I'm a generous man and I've taken loads from the forum so it's time to give back. So everybody, grab your phones and start a sketchy recording and open some trades for a guaranteed profit!*

*profit not guaranteed.

I think most successful traders have spent time recording their own trades and then reviewing them later when money is not at risk. They all say that putting the time and effort into doing this, will pay off really well in the long run, and I am sure they are correct.

I also suspect (but don't have enough experience to know for sure) that you will start to notice certain patterns in price action behaviour which can be exploited. I'm not saying these patterns are 100% reliable, nothing is, but they will work often enough to make decent money.

I doubt anyone is going to reveal some of these patterns they have discovered on a public forum, I know I wouldn't if I knew some, but I think they are there for people willing to put the work in to find them.

Posted last night under trading diary thread, wolv 18.45. Got a green :mrgreen: out of it but can't remember wot I did.

I've got "flashback express" but it slows the machine down. Looking for some way to use old PC to "just record" new PC so it runs in background with no effects. As for publishing - probably set up private forum because simple Newtonian physics "for every action....". There's a "bomber" thread in here - at least he was so bleedin' obvious it was a turkey shoot.

Aaah the good old days.
