@Ryan best thing about Donny is the road out lol. Well Im focusing on the Over 0.5 FHG, Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 markets.

@Patrik-Mellqvist said in *****New Football Thread*****:

One question: do you agree that anything under five minutes is a scalp, and anything above that is a trade?

I mean a scalp is a type of trade, so there's not really any dichotomy there, but also I wouldn't say there's any specific timeframe that defines a scalp.

If we were talking horse racing for example, 5 minutes would be long enough for a massive swing trade. Pre-match football not much is going to happen in that timeframe.

Characteristics of a scalp for me:

Short term, relative to market type Small-tick gains High frequency Focus on stability, liquidity, queue position, order flow, high strike rate Much tighter stops

@Darran-Padley there's no definitive wrong or right way to trade or bet these games but the best way to find out is to forward test them, using small stakes - I'd stick to one approach for say a couple hundred results and see what you find. You can look to re-assess and adjust your approach after you have a fair idea of how it all works and whether or not it suits you (most important factor of all).

@james-everard
Hi James,
thanks a lot for sharing your strategy with me, I really appreciate it. I’m going to test it straight away.

If i was you i would paper trade for a month just to record the results so you can build confidence in the strategy

@Shannon-Townsend good idea to trade with no distractions, not surprised it's gone well doing that!

@Sam-roberts made a megathread a while back if you want to run the numbers on these: https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/3531/horse-racing-strategies-megathread/2

@Anthony-Daynes Perfect, haven't spoke with Mike in a long while I remember when he first started out in this world... god I've been around this world too long!

@Alex-Rendell Thank you

@Raj-Kukadia Im not sure what you are asking me here buddy?

@Alex-Rendell said in Hi!:

@Alessandro-Imbrescia I personally think it matters less what you actually do in terms of staying in or trading out; the most important thing for me is staying consistent and adopting the same approach during every single trade.

priceless advice!

@Lee-Greener might be worth contacting BFBOT customer service and seeing what changed on the new version?

@Alessandro-Imbrescia they started out as that but were reversed as they fared better the other way around

@Martin Great, thanks

@Alex-Ionică to get 400 selections a month on a strategy can be difficult, I mean how many matches a day are likely to be value for any given strategy? Maybe 5-10? Then you would have to find them all! It's easier to do this around multiple strategies.

@Patrik-Mellqvist An excellent read.

@LATUNER-Patrick Thank you!

@Jaysen-John thanks for that update. When you say following, which specific strategy is it you are following? Then I can give some advice on it.

@Martin it's more of a love hate relationship lol. At the moment it's a love relationship. That could change very quickly though haha.

@Dan-Fuller I love that you have done this, this is exactly what I have been preaching for a while 2 people can trade the same strategy a different way and/or spot things that make it slightly different.

Theres been a few you might find some more info on this thread https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/4890/the-winning-edge-challenge-3-simple-steps/162?_=1759395327476
