Australian racing
Sorry for the massive response delay. I only quickly checked in on Saturday. In any case I see a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then.PDC wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 5:53 amGazuty - any chance you can let us know if the Sky Racing radio link works for you as you are based in Australia (is that correct?)

Thanks for the reply. I am very grateful for your help.
I found the post and link and saw the graph. I will check out the Jolly Green Giants posts.
Live on the Gold Coast. If I am ever in Melbourne will let you know.
So Galilee do you do mostly Australian races or do you do the UK ones as well.
I work part time so I would find it too difficult staying up that late at night. Although the difference in liquidity is immense.
Also a shame we don't have access to any other exchanges like Betdaq etc. Do you think it is likely we are ever to get one?
Cheers and regards Redback

Hi Redback,
I do almost all Aus racing - UK races are very difficult as the liquidity is very strong - so as a swing trader I prefer not having to fight large bets on both the lay and back sides to get an entry position. I am in my mid 70's so staying up late is not very appealing to me - at least not as appeallng as it was when I was in my mid 20'S!! If I were you, I would start trading Aus markets live for very small stakes and see what you can learn from that. Practice mode is fine to enable you to get the feel of how BA works, but it will never match the live trading experience - even for very small stakes. In my first trade I made 11 cents profit (greened up) and I was thrilled - not because of the 11 cents but because I was successful in that trade. And before making that trade I read the BA manual about 4 times - making notes as I went along. The Forum didn't exist then (December 2007) so you have an advantage as a learner because of the accumulated advice that many traders have very generously provided over the years since the Forum started (I think in 2009).
Read the user manual and watch the videos. Combine that with reading the posts on the Forum and you will soon learn. Oh, and don't be afraid to ask a question on the Forum.
Best wishes

Thank you Galilee so good to talk to other Australians about trading. So I take it you manage to avoid the turnover charge altogether by keeping within the criteria. So you have been trading a long time? I am 59 (actually yesterday) and find I concentrate better in the day. At this stage I want to learn to top up my income. So no great aspirations to make it a living at this stage and I am aware that only a small percentage manage to make a living out of it. Thank you for all your assistance and advice so far. Kind regards Redback
Struggling to get much out of Moonee but I see what you mean ‒ feel a lot sharper drinking coffee instead of beer!
And 90 minutes for lunch.
