Are you letting it run into play to get some of those losses... or are you going 100% full in... just, even with a £100 bank some of those losses suggest you are taking outrageous risks... lets say you are working to 10% profit to your bank over the day, 3 of those losses outweigh that singularly.. one by quite some amount... how many ticks must it go against you before you cry enough ??
I only ask, because normally I'm out like a flash... which some will criticise as the market does meander, but I never want to find out how wrong I can be... you can always restart the trade, not so easy if you have a building liability...

Didn't notice that when I was trading it.
But looking back at the video, someone was playing an interesting game. They were dragging a £4k lay - which actually is what put me negative - then someone takes the £4k (the £7k backer). Perhaps that's what gave the move a nice flush. Maybe it was a planned push to get 2.0, or the layer getting caught out. Who knows - but the games & battles certainly are fascinating

UK markets are so messy compared to Aus
I'm sure a combination of top courses being spaced 5 minutes apart and Newmarket taking over 3 minutes to load won't help. This means that what should be a decent market at Ascot gets almost no time to trade.
I know that Euler and many others like the busy Saturdays but they always feel too frantic to me.
