LCS/LTD man city vs lyon 1-1, will lcs now and look to see if it stays this lively then ltd
No rush, but in this Man City game would cash out now its 1-2 or let the LTD run?

I second what Stuart said below. Even though I don’t necessarily directly follow your trades as I want to pave my own way, I like the style in terms of limited number of trades, keeping things simple and working on one or two things at once in order to improve those filters/trades before branching out. Reading your posts reminds me to stay on track and also reminds me of the alternative way to getting involved in too much.
Keep up the good work!

@stuart-capstick thanks mate! just posting what helped me and what im doing to improve my own trading. Its great when you hear that others have managed to get something from it. I do sometimes go overboard with the info i post but its just because i think it really helps to hear from someone and how they go about trading. I rarely see any of the pros or anyone online doing something similar to this. Thanks for managing to keep reading these posts even if they can be a snoozefest at times

Hi Darri
Just a quick message of appreciation. I think what you are doing is excellent for both newbies and people who are little further ahead in the journey.
I had previously posted about being 4 consecutive months in profit. This month I thought I had cursed myself for having made that post. I bounced along to about scratch for the month a couple of days ago. I started thinking that all along it had just been luck/variance. Or that this month's poor results were variance etc.
I then read one of your posts about keeping it simple, stripped back to the simplest of the strategies I had and today I'll be about 10 points up for the month, which is more than enough for any month, but especially after the turbulence (3 points up one day, three down the next) of the past three weeks or so.In all honesty, whatever you post will be helpful for those of us at any stage of trading. If nothing else, just reassurance that this is a damn hard game.
Good luck with whatever ventures you have in the near future. -
@eamonn-hogan yeah, red card before your entry i would leave it alone

@cenk yep scroll below i posted earlier, it wont be a main strategy for me but its a tidy bank builder for those looking for a tidy 2nd half goal strategy
If there is a red card do you forget about that game?

@darri amazing thank you. I should have really looked properly before asking.
Do you use a filter for your FHG strategy too? what would be yours enter /exit points at a FHG trade?
You talked about semi automation and set& forget strategies. Do you use a flap drawer for this? If so which one would you recommend ?
Apologies in advance for all the questions.
Flap drawer
blame the kopparberg that’s suppose to have said ‘ do you use a software for this?’I started to Read the blog from the beginning - some golden nuggets there!
-
@cenk the first half goal is the same filter just change the H2 stats to H1. We arent trading the fhgs yet they are just in testing right now. I currently only trade lcs/ltd im working on finding new semi automated strategies. Questions are fine mate dont worry. If you have more maybe take a look at the blog, most of your questions are answered throughout

just to clarify because it looks like the first game might become a qualifier only enter if there has been no goal in the 2nd half. So if its 0-0 ht but then a goal is scored on 50 mins do not enter. The filter is set to only have at least 1 more goal in the 2nd half. As long as the first half hasnt had more than 3 goals then i would enter.
so quick rules:
only enter if no 2nd half goal has been scored
only games with less than 2.5 goals are a qualifierthe rest ill leave upto you guys, its just a filter
Thank you @Darri , how do you pick your games ? Is there a filter you use ?
I really appreciate this thread and thank you for putting time in to educate/share your experience with those rather new to the scene
-
Nice one @Darri was on that and only just missed out on a lay at 1.5
-
orebro a winner, like i said i wont personally be on these and wont be monitoring it but i will post the strike rate and goal times on the sheet for everyone to see, probably only for the next 30-40 games then ill stop was just to help out a couple of member get onto the right track. Gonna have too much to do in the coming weeks if i start adding my new strategies which are hopefully going to be starting end of next if i manage to find 13 more games to qualify.
-
@darri that’s more than fair enough mate. If you can highlight them I’m sure we can all do the rest
-
so if i was trading these in a system like way i would enter now @1.45
i will track these for you guys but i will not be trading them as im away to be adding 2 more strats already to my portfolio dont want to manage myself inefficiently.

@Darri just want to say your posts and insights are invaluable particularly your approach to whether or not to enter inplay etc.
Following your FHG's strategy and how you build it up and develop a strategy with interest.
Keep doing what your doing, alongside what @Ryan-Carruthers and @martinfutter are doing its invaluable
-
@darri discipline required before everything (massive note to self). Your guidance is invaluable. Thx Darri
-
oh yes of course i would also say make sure there hasnt been over 2.5 goals in the match for the next few qualifiers ill post them up when i enter so people can get to grips with it. nothing over 2.5 on entry is my personal preference the testing was actually done with any score. Just posting it to help one or two of the guys who have hit sticky patches in recent weeks, please if you ever need a wee chat or want to discuss trading im all ears guys. Use me for a quick chat or jump on the private coaching with martin and ryan, dont want to see another cycle of new traders come and go again. In fact it appears to have happened recently lots forum regulars seem to have stopped posting etc. Its all about longevity on here and finding things that dont just make a quick spike but return profits over a longer period of time. Please try to stick at it guys the rewards are massive.
