    Im going to take it really easy today. Its been a strange couple of weeks for trading and its a big month so i want to get off to a decent start and just get steadily back into it.

    Good luck today!

    Hi guys,

    Just looking for some input is all - I've been looking at a couple of trading strategies, some new from BTC, and some older ones (but giving them all a clean slate).

    My question is - how long are you guys giving strats before making a final decision? At the moment I've got 1 on 100% SR, a few 75-85% SR and the rest are 60-70% (though in the red overall).

    Trying to strike the balance between letting the variance ride, and cutting my losses early if they're clearly not working!

    Tbh, I do think my game selection isn't up to scratch just yet, so any handy hints would be very much appreciated!

    Cheers all

    When you say cutting your losses, does that mean you are trading serious real money when you are testing these things?

    I'd say 250-500 games is a good point to assess data seriously, obviously the more the better in this case!

    @andrew-bannister brace yourself, those runs will happen in any system, just part of variance I'm afraid

    @martyn-hemmens well 0.5 would be an automatic winner so if you were certain that would be the market. Over 1.5 is good as if you get a FHG you can take a green or a scratch trade at worst. Best thing is to test a couple of markets and see which best suits.

    I think we are going to look to add this into the stats as well so you can see on the screen whether it's A or B style league.

    @pawel-denis Hi mate which games were not in-play? if they aren't in-play just leave them but I want to double check as if they were from main leagues they should have been in-play 🙂

    I agree with M's timings would give a nice average entry point that too.
