Had a profit in that Newmarket race and has settled as a huge loss.
Cant get through to BFCS???

[boardrep]

they really are a useless company and need to consider reinvesting some of their considerable profits in their technology support

[RonObvious]

Imagine the mess its going to be when the Premier League starts back on Saturday afternoons

[Korattt]

I think I need to find another source of income.
Relying on one company who could go down at any time is a bad idea.
Need a back up plan to fall back on.

I think that was just unlucky, BD can be used to hedge (minimise the loss at least) if the whole of BF is down but its only because I've seen that before that I thought turning off streaming would help and it thankfully did. You were trading really well before that though!

That's a risk of any job/industry. Only way to avoid it is have diversify your income stream. There are many prop shop traders using very similar scalping techniques on the financial markets. Might be worth having a look at

just like bet angel, but with a different colour scheme

What is that software? Looks interesting

The company is 'Trader Technologies' - there are 2 platforms (TT or X_trader), & they're pretty pricy, so do your homework!! But I reckon you've certainly got the right skills in place to certainly do well or at least give it a try. Maybe trade bunds in the morning & nags in the afternoon - I'm miles away from that stage atm, but the sheer scaleability of financials is such a drive. remember 1 contract is £10 per tick!!

For those that weren't active at the time, here's how the markets reacted to the carnage that was the false start during the 13:40 @ Newbury yesterday.

All I saw was some cs:go jump maps nearly as hard as trading. Get off steam & work on your edge!

lovely move on Jungle Cat

Arrogate beaten out the places at 1/10 last night!! Don't think there has ever been such a shorty beaten out the first 3 ever...
