traded the chelmsford card from the 6 oclock until the last race at 8
18 green
29 green
10 green
2 green
6 green
5 green

for the first time ever I tried to trade each market on its merit had a strategy an entry and exit point for each trade and waited for the market to let me in rather then trying to smash my way into the markets

I do not recall my heart rate raising once and remained as cool as a cucumber and was in total control all the way through the numbers are not impressive but for someone who has always traded as erratically as me where a 15 pound winning trade was disappointing as 2 minutes before it was green it was 47 pound red or along those lines and let more banks go in running then I care to remember tonight has been a proper eye opener

before tonight I have always struggled to believe it was possible for a strategic approach to trading as I have always been a gambler and thought you cant build a strategy based around gamblers like myself as even we don't know what we are about to do before we do it but tonight as high lighted if you have a strategic approach and stick to the plan you may well miss a few ticks and you definitely will not spend the night chasing round the little flashy light thing to keep coming up with a 2 tick loss the markets seem to visually slow down

2 swallows don't make a summer but for the first time ever I have traded a profit and understood how I made it and ultimately been so so relaxed whilst executing the plan

tonight has gone so well a part of me thinks I should call it a day and go out on a proper high

living the dream

Well done prestburydreams. You're right, two swallows don't make a summer but it sounds like you had a positive/controlled mindset and positive result.

hopefully a real penny drop moment its a collective of variables you cant chase every tick otherwise what I perceive as trying to learn to trade is no more then blind luck scalping cheers derek

Well done, great example of focusing on the execution and letting the profit come as a result of that. Easier said than done!
