December 2010

[PeterLe]

Morning,

I've been using a new strategy since the 1st December and was reviewing the data last night...

The thing is; with the bad weather and lack of racing, I'm not sure whether it has been an improvement over my previous system...

So the question I want to ask is: How has your December P&L compared with previous months ie is it 70%, 50%...etc of what you achieved in November?

Just want to get a feel really...

Regards
Peter

With the prospect of little racing on Boxing day, I'll be down 70% on last year. But December is usually off 1/3 or so from a normal month anyhow.

I imagine Betfair must be hurting on the racing front.

I would say at least about 40% down than November. But it terms of judging the viability of your strategy, you need to compare not only in turn of low level of events (brought about by the weather) but due to this high level of volatility and lack of liquidity and be aware of how this might affect your strategy.
