Been a good day in general, I've finished slightly in the red on account of a long losing run.

I've been smashed again. That pretty much wraps my worst summer racing week ever. Even when I was trading part time.

Have you thought of reducing your stakes so that you are less exposed when a big spike comes along?

I have already reduced my stakes to what the market can absorb. I am trading very small amounts.

It would appear to be a problem with fill rate. I've reduced stakes as well, but if you look at this chart it's mental. I had £107 I was trying to get filled but look what happened as I tried to fill it!

I was on exactly the same horse in exactly the same position. The markets are just dying on their backsides. The only real liquidity comes so late on and theres so little of it you are playing roullete with the off. All it takes is one half decent sp reconciliation spike and you are screwed. The market is so weak you are taken in play with no chance of getting out.

The staggering amount of money traded on the Tennis must have afected the horses, curiously last two days on the donkeys have been ok for me.

would love to trade the Tennis but I have always lost on it before and it seems to me very very unpredictable... haveing said that 50 million traded on one game means that all you tennis traders cannot all be wrong all of the time...so I prob need to try it again with minimum stakes first. I have tried BA tennis trader but found it very distracting.
Funny how after endless hours pre race trading and finding out what you are good at and not good at. the donkeys start to make some sense. so i guess tennis could be the same? :idea:
