An honest blog with no adverts, links to software or attempting to suck you in to sell you something.

Plenty of strong opinion but very little real trading advice and no videos.

I find videos a waste of time, anyone can post a video of a winning trade and make it look easy.

How many people have you seen post a trading video from 4 or 5 races in a row instead of just the winning one?

I think this post might be of interested to you:

http://dontgiveupyourjob.blogspot.com/2 ... sults.html

It shows early results before the daily p&l's were stopped.

Results were showed from day 1 (feb 2007):

http://dontgiveupyourjob.blogspot.com/2 ... quite.html

Until the end of the blog (prior to the annoucement of the Premium Charge which got the blog going again) which was August 2008.

So for a year and a half there were near daily p&l's posted which showed the journey from making £2 in a day to £200+ and with each post came a discussion of the days trading.

Not too sure what more you would want? Perhaps more videos but you can't learn trading by watching videos or else we all would have watched the various videos that are around and would all be making money.

I would recommend if you want to read discusion/advice read each of the posts made in the first year and a half. There are several hundred posts there for you to read which detail the journey from making pennies and losing pennies to making good money from trading.

The blog then served its purpose it seemed and posting up daily p&l's soon becomes boring for both reader and blogger once it has achieved what it was set out to achieve.

I am sure if drop a comment on the blog you would get an update on the trading etc.

Good post, Andy.

His blog is the only reference I've seen where you can follow someone's progress from the very beginning all the way up to him being a successful trader, discussing everything from his trading set up to his staking plan which a lot of the big hitters don't tell you.

If you think any information is good then read his blog from the beginning and learn from his successes and mistakes that he's happy to discuss openly, rather than expecting to be spoon fed information from a video of a winning trade.

point2point the reason i think his is the best blog out there is because he does give his opinions (ultimately any trade is just an opinion, will it go up, will it go down), i dont always agree with them, but they make me think and realise that there are other ways to view things.
if you read his blog from the start, he was not that good, all the usual ups and downs and how he dealt and overcame them, which is invaluable to anyone who is starting out and/or struggling. there is tons of info in there its just that not all of it is explicit.
you will loss nothing except er few hours in time, and will probably find some useful insights if you give it a chance.
