The wisdom of the crowd...

Trading is often about how to take the appropriate risk without exposing yourself to very human flaws.

Rather than measuring it on an outright basis, try measuring against return on stake or liability. That's how I determine if my strategy is working or getting better or worse.
Do you mean cumulative P&L as a % of cumulative stake?

Like this...

Interesting, never thought of measuring this before.

...sorry to ask what will no doubt be a dumb question James, but is your latest graph suggesting that in the 988 matches monitored there have been 78 more draws than non-draws?

ie 533 draws and 455 non-draws? or is it a percentage graph?
The graph was cumulative profit over time. Number of markets on the X-axis against cumulative P&L on the Y-axis.

1007 markets from which 289 were draws.

thanks James :)

are you backing the draw at the very start of the match, before the start or during the match?

Just before KO. Offering, not taking, and only when the market meets certain maturity thresholds.
