Day(trading days) 50-59 (Project Day(actual days) 81-94)

Been a while since I posted, apologies for that. I was off work this week and got my two days to trade with the big boys during the day on Thursday and Friday.

What a thrill, I had great crack. The ups and the downs. Thursday was a losing day, Friday made

up the losses and some profit too boot. I was well pleased with the way I traded over the two days.

Also being off work during the week meant I could spend time with the family. This allowed me time to trade today without upsetting anyone or having to run off anywhere.

Boy did I trade, a massive €88.88 profit today alone. I couldn't believe it, my trend spotting is getting better and better. Also this type of trading is completely different from what I do on the American races.

Anyway keep an eye out for more videos from me, I have two that I am working on and will post when they are completed.

Anyway the judges scores are in ................

Day(trading days) 42-50 (Project Day(actual days) 62-81)

I have finally done it. Doubled my money at last. Haven't done much trading recently, byt everytime I got close to doubling my money I was pegged back. Persistance pays off in the end.
I still haven't gotten time to take two days off work to trade during the week due to work commitments, hopefully in the second week of November I'll take a week off and put two days aside for trading if possible.

Day(trading days) 37-41 (Project Day(actual days) 52-61)

Major milestone achieved. We passed the €250 mark. I believe my treat for achieving this is to take two days off for day trading.


I shall organise that tomorrow to try and squeeze a couple of days off into a heavy work schedule.





Next minor milestone is the doubling of the bank. €137.69 X 2 = €275.38.





Last few days have been up and down for the little trading I've done. I haven't been as disciplined as I should be. Work is consuming most of my energy during the day and I am not just alert enough in the evenings on some days.





That being said, I have been perceptive when I'm not in the right frame of mind for trading, I've stopped fairly quickly. Protecting the bank is the main aim.

Day(trading days) 27-36 (Project Day(actual days) 35-52)

Haven't posted in a while, but I have been busy.

Another mini target hit, we broke the €100 mark in profit, very close to the milestone of €250.

Close to the first milestone, I am tempted to keep trading until I get it.

Today was good, I am going to quit while I am ahead and bask in my Glory!!

Day 24-26 (Project Day 32-34)

Did it again. I got caught out with a lay bet again. I never learn!

Got very lucky this time as the horse was a donkey in disguise. I was unemotional when I lost the €99 two days ago.

This time I was furious, getting caught again. Low liquidity until just before the off is forcing me to trade very close to the off. With the satellite delay of a few seconds, it is very touch and go. With no inplay trading for US racing, there is no recovery from errors.

I may need to reduce the trading days to tie in with the more liquid days in the market. Also will have to look at the football strategies and in play markets in the evenings to help boost the opportunities.

I knew it would be hard, but didn't think it would be the rollercoaster ride I am making it.

Starting: €137.69
Opening: €116.17
Closing: €158.46

Last Profit: €42.29(36.4%)

Total P/L: € 20.77 (15.08%)

Day 23 (Project day 31)

Disaster. I didn't realise how close to the off it was while I was trading. When I realised, I paniced and tried to cancel a bet. At the same time I pressed the hedge button. Net result, a lay bet with a liability of €99.43.

To say the horse romped home is an under statement. I am not back to square one, I am at square -1.

I don't feel emotional about the mistake. I am not angry, I didn't yell, I accepted I made a mistake. This gives me heart. I am going to stop for tonight and watch some telly.

I will start again tomorrow (hopefully, NTL are installing 3Mb broadband tomorrow, hopefully it works.)

Again this is a setback, it may affect the timelines, but i have faith that i will succeed with this. When I do, the taste will be so sweet.
