Not good but still unbeatable

Profit/Loss : 82.77€
Total Profit/Loss : 2562.83€
Current Bank : 3298.05€

What a poor number ! What a boring week ! Just a few opportunities here and there but very poor overall.

I guess I know why my trading is getting so boring. It's simply because I'm following my plan strictly. By following the plan, I'm not found in some scary situations, that's why it's so boring. People love gambling because of the adrenaline, there's no adrenaline in my trading, therefore, it's boring, but hey, I'm still unbeatable since day 9. :-)

Profitable and boring. Let the plan be fulfilled ! Eh eh eh !



Cya !

Routine !

Profit/Loss : 128.05€
Total Profit/Loss : 2480.06€

A good week and a poor weekend for the record. It was probably one of my best weeks so far making around 75€ without too much effort in just a couple of matches.

The wekeend didn't provide many good opportunities but I can't complain much because I haven't had any redbook. All green once again, 11 days gone without a single loss, however, I'm still far from my previous record of almost a month.



Football seasons near the end, just a few matches left. I still need to prepare for the transition to the horse racing markets. I'm quite sure it will be painful in the beginning but I'm sure I'll find a profitable path. Can't wait !

That's more like it !

No, I won't miss this week update! It wasn't a busy weekend for me, so here I am to post an update of this past week.

This week I felt like my interest was going down a little bit but the weeked brought me the profit I wished so no complaints! Before the weekend started I had in mind that my profit for the current month wasn't that good and then I almost doubled it in two days, lovely!



Also, this weekend, I've seen a fellow trader almost being wiped out. He incurred on a loss similar to the one I suffered when I started this blog, a big red figure! A loss of around 200€ caused him to extend it to 800€ just because he wanted to get the 200 back. How stupid he was. Now, he's the first to admit he was an asshole but it's impressive to think that in just a few seconds we can be wiped out from these markets. It's good to analyze others behaviour in these situations, it might be helpful when we get ourselves in a similar situation.

Don't lose your head, I won't lose mine! :)

Not good, not bad !

Again, I missed the post from last weekend but I have a good excuse. I had to work the whole weekend which left me with almost no time to trade, I only managed to do one or two trades during the evening.

During these two last weeks I managed to lose two nice amounts which left me a bit upset with myself. Each loss around the 30€ figure. The last one happened today on Man Utd's match while I was trading ( or trying to ) before the match started. There was lots of money sitting on each price when suddenly it went up 3 ticks and I got two orders matched, I had to trade out losing 3 ticks. Damn! I thought I had two good positions on the lay side and all of a sudden they weren't that good ! I'm still unable to understand how these movements happen, especially because there's lots of money on each price. There must be some big guys with huge pockets out there!

The rest of the day ( today ) I had to work just to make it back but at least I made it, I ended the day with an astonishing 3€ profit. I'm sure better days will come.



March was my best month so far, not far from my ultimate goal of 1000€/month. Check out the picture:


Football seasons are almost in the end so I've already started preparing to move to the horse racing markets. I've been there in the past and I can't wait to get back to them.

No progress with my software since the last post. I hope I'll have some news about it during this month. Stay tuned!
