Hi
All never knew it would happen but it has, i lost 30% of my bank within the space of a week pre trading :cry: its made me feel to give it all up, cant blame pre race trading, it was a bit of myself letting races jump into play and those recthed US markets. I found i was doing ok but i uploaded £1000 as my proper starting bank and now have £700. Its unbelivable, think i will take time out from it all

The Us Markets i will never play again for sure.
:(

Hard Luck :(
It's extremely demoralising to spend a while testing and honing the perfect system for it all to go belly-up when live. Every cloud has a silver lining - at least you still have %70 of your bank.

Regarding the USA racing, I find the market often seems to suspend without warning some time before it should be off. Fatal really if you're still open.

Cheers B i should recover over the next few days on our UK markets as i must admit am getting the hang of pre race trading, the prices on the US Markets are so offset with little liquidity but just before the offs you get big orders smash a price down fast before you can get out and yes the market jumps before you the time you think it will jump
