I've noticed I can tell people exactly what to do, but often they just will not do it.

I've spent a lot of time in recent years trying to understand the psychology of trading to see if I can short cut the learning process.

Id agree with Peter that the person behind the trade can read as much as they like or listen to experienced people all day long but its up to you at the end of the day.

I would however recommend going on his course. I enjoyed the day and I think for the cost of it, if you are serious about wanting to trade for a living its a small investment. If you were to start up a business, you wouldn't think twice about spending the money.

There were things on the course that he discussed that didn't go in for me for about 2 years. Im not sure if he covers all the same points these days but was certainly worth the day out. Ive considered going on the course again but not sure Im dedicated enough to make the 6000 mile trip! :lol:

Some days you get home and from 33 events one finds 32 winners and 1 loss the loss being at -$0.85. Great day of automation. :)

I should add, year to date, only two days ended up overall producing a loss. So 219 days in and 216 up days and 2 loss days (leaving aside Good Friday). :)

My first Sunday trading for a while, seen as there were a few extra meetings. Not to bad, 29 markets traded, 27 were profitable and 2 were losses, totaling $6.49.

Looks like your bot is smarter than Naffman :lol:

Just had my best day so far so I thought I'd post it up. Hope this gives others the motivation to keep improving!

Thanks Murgo. The Aussie markets are very underrated, and are a great place for newbies to start.

To get in the mood for the Aussie spring racing carnival, I thought I'd post up my graphs for Aussie racing in July, August and September (end of the quarter is a nice time to do it).

Starting bank each month is $1,000.

Are these purely Aus Racing? Have you tried to emulate it on UK Markets and/or other sports?

Hi Peter

Yes that is purely Aussie racing. I concentrate on Aussie racing and US racing.

I also have strategies for AFL, NRL, cricket and T20.

I came across this thread just today and haven't read everything but the purpose seem to inspire people to aim higher by looking at what is possible.

But having a snapshot of a good day doesn't necessarily tell you the whole story and might lead some to a wrong path.

Idealism needs to be coupled with realism.

£5,730 in a day everyone should be aiming higher than that! :lol:

You have a point there Photon.
