Scalability

[mintoze]

As a novice trader autostaking with £2 tick size, my £ stake is inevitably 'lost' in the queue waiting to be matched on runners in all high quality races and even for runners with odds over 4 in low quality races.
Some guidance please, do I take the current price rather than offer a price; do I ignore all high quality races and runners placed over 4 in low quality races; or do I ignore autostaking and increase my £ stake - by how much? even though this may contravene my bank size management.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I guess really at this time you're just gathering experience of the markets, so really I wouldnt worry too much about stake size or how much you're actually making at this time. Just keep getting experience and(wisely) use the minimum stakes as you are. When the time comes that you know what you're doing and you know what suits YOU (noone else can answer how you should trade / what kind of stake sizes would suit you) then you'll be able to answer each of these questions perfectly yourself

Sorry mate, but he's not using minimum stakes, the £2 refer to the tick size

Haha okay, I never really read these posts properly

In that case I'd wonder why you'd use tick sizes at all, I mean, why not just match whatever you're comfortable with to what the market allows you to use?
