Saturday 2 July
Sorry to hear that. I struggled a bit wed-fri, but for some reason today it felt quite easy and I smashed it up, even had a clean sheet (first one of those this year!)
I'm kind of scratching my head because something about the market just felt different and I'm not sure why. I don't want to say what exactly as it might prejudice others responces

Peter beat me to it, the fill rate seemed much better today. I don't analyse the data like Peter but I felt the markets were far more responsive. I found Sandown very good and did okay overall. I only traded a part session as we've been out for a picnic and walk along the river.
From a form point of view it was also easy to look at the Stoute runners and almost oppose them blind. Kingsgate Native was favourite with the bookies but not on the Exchanges. A lot of shrewd players knew he was 1 winner from 36 at the start of the day and was 1 from 39 when I left. I love those because you know some big players will lay horses like that and you can join the flow of money.

The fill rate was very good but what I was thinking was what you said JollyG, the markets were far more responsive, you put an bet in and the market accepts it, rather than pushing against as hard as it can. I'm sure there's a bot in the market designed purely to push against orders that it thinks are from traders, seemed like it had been given a day off today
