Posting P&Ls without context

I was desperate to tell someone.

Mate, why not start your own Discord server with a few like-minded people of similar experience

Or join an existing one, where you can share trades and stuff

Incredibly boring going at it alone

Is this purely placing value bets, or trading?

I seem to remember reading on here that you were in some sort of chat group with a few Croatian “traders” who turned out to be edge-less and after your juicy secrets!

Seriously though, I’ll have a look. Ta for the suggestion.

Sometimes groups just don't work out Or they run their course. Tbf everyone's after everyone else's secrets, but it was very early on, only had positive experiences since.

Traders seem a lot more transparent nowadays. Plus you maybe make a few friends along the way. I'll ping you some suggestions tomorrow.

My current 12 month L

[Aberdeentrad]

Here is mine - For context I spent around 2 years gathering data and confirming an edge, I then started trading manually making profit (mid 2024).

At the end of 2024 I decided to subscribe to BA, I then spent the first half of 2025 working out how to automate my strategy using practice mode. Eventually going live May 2025 with some breaks before I got a VPS, since then I've been working on a second strategy to diversify... I've still not cracked that yet...

In my opinion no-one should be losing large sums if you have BetAngel, between practice mode and the ability to use tiny stakes in live mode - prove you can make profit first then scale up (I know bigger stakes feel less comfortable and risk tolerance etc changes if you are betting ££ instead of p - this is why I automate, fully hands off as I don't have the mentality for manual trading (yet).

It's taken you over a year to make what Memphis is making in a week, the time Vs money you've made is probably less than minimum wage...

It's also been my experience that practice mode is useless, you can't accurately record PnL and the simulated queue position gives you a false impression of fills.

[Aberdeentrad]

Yeah way less than min wage when you consider all the time back testing, thankfully this is just a hobby and I’ve got a proper full time job. Would be nice to be able to let the automation work away in the background though so I don’t have to, small steps.

Well done, even the biggest strategies started small. I started a new strategy three years ago that didn't make much initially, but once I knew I was on the right track, I refined it further and it makes a signficant contribution to my annual total last year.
