Well i dont know where to start but here goes..
Thanks to bet angel and all the hidden gems in here ive finally started to see how to put all the signes together to achieve a trade that actually makes sense ive put years into making some sense of the makets and what they offer and by simply cold trading what i see has turned a corner..
Here is what ive found in short term..
Their is no golden ticket just screen time market after market and putting things in perspective that i understand in my own head sounds weired i know just that now i see their is many pointers to a trade which whithout hard work would be impossible
Pre race Horse trading ...
the amount of money waiting to be matched
order of the market
graphs
time scales
market volume
selection volume
price of fav 2nd fav 3rd fav and more ...
Basically all im saying is when all this can make sense and all the stars are ligned up you get a reason to enter a trade .
I am miles away from perfecting this but just want to put this out their as my personal jurney and im greatfull to bet angel for all the info in this forum i may well make a trader one day but who knows ive blew bank after bank and quit then come back but now my mind set has altered i now take it easy and baby step my way back to the only thing that i truely enjoy doing with my spare time ..
PS..
I love automation allthough it can not replace my trading as its too complicated to automate but it certainly points me in the right direction in a way of signals to a trade .
I may sound green still but ive climbed a few rungs now and on my way up "This time next year Rodney" .....lol i dont care about money right now..
I just want to crack trading then money can flow after ..
In a nut shell i just want to say i genuinly believe with hard work and plenty of screen time trading will pay off eventually ..
Thanks Bet Angel and community .

It's great to hear your journey and I think it would resonate with others.

I know the first time that trading clicked for me, it felt like everything had opened up in front of me. It was a sort of enlightenment.

I'm manual but if you ever lose your bearings and compass just look up towards the North Star ☝

I am back after my holiday season guys a few days late thanks to Milton.

Beermonsterman, automation I must agree is not to be used for entry into a market, but the most important thing is discipline in that market. When writing automation once you learn about that market is easy, entry is not.

98% of my automation is simple, I start the automation myself when I feel that this is the correct market to enter.

Why do I use automation at this point, because I as a human always wants to interfere with my interpretation of what is happening, but my gut feeling is a terrible judge of the actual statistics.

As a good manager allow your staff to do the work, my staff in this case is the algorithm.

Exactly my problem, I run automation and I interfere, I green when in profit only to see I left money on the table, I red out when I think it is going to lose too much, only for it to retrace and go back into the green.

So I tend not to watch and let the automation do it's thing and know that the stats I get from the automation is clean and untampered with. But problem with that is I don't learn.

Maybe BA need a kiddy lock on automation files

I don't use this myself because I enter data onto a database, but you could try this real time to look later to see what has happened.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows ... cff7a5653f.

There is other software that does the same thing out there if you do not have windows 11, or if you get problems. With some of this software you can even overcome Netflix blocks with certain setups, but I suggest you do not do this, just stick to your own screen and Bet Angel/Betfair, for personal use only, otherwise you could find yourself in trouble. :D

Thanks for that, I do use the Xbox gamer to record some market, I don't use it enough really. The main feature for me is the microphone so I can give my own commentary and reasoning. But I still get the urge to tinker where I shouldn't, I guess it is down to self discipline
