Thanks for doing this Keith I find it very interesting. Reading through the last thread where you did this the thing I have taken the most from is that you don't have to win every trade to do well and make a profit. That's something I and I assume a few others need to get to grips with a bit better. I find it hard to take the red sometimes but have to learn to accept it's part of the game.
I actually think most people know the 'theory' when trading. The difficult part is putting the theory into practice.

@keith-anderson keith if you was to lose your first trade would you up stakes to make the 3% for the day or just stick to staking plan and list and if the day ends up losing so be it and on to the next day. basically what im saying is, the 3% is not compulsory every day.
The 3% is more of a target for me. It's just about having faith in the system I use (LTD at HT) - ironically I didn't do that tonight!
There will undoubtedly be losing days, but it is the end of the month that is important.

Looking forward to following this with interest Keith!
So if you hit your daily target first trade are you just going to stop for the purposes of this challenge each day. You're not going to do the other trades in your list for the day?It depends. Quite a bit of football on this week, so I'm in no hurry to do anything tonight.
I'll maybe push it more if there are a lack of fixtures.

i think this is going to be invaluable to a lot of people thanks keith if there is ever a btc meet up i dont think yours and a few others bar bills will be very high

1st trade was successful. A goal after 21 minutes: Target has been hit for the day.

Love this. It's something I'm trying to do at present. I'm a swing sort of trader and trying to learn when I should exit as I've left certain trades go to long and either lost or got lucky. I've always been a bit aggressive with my staking this has given me a lot of ups and down. O just need to keep reminding myself that a small bit at a time still builds the bank instead of holding for the 100 percent profit on most trades.

Looking forward to seeing this again. For those who have time .... here is Keith Orgininal and what I believe was the birth of the pro http://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/415/increasing-my-bankroll-by-3-each-day
Also @Keith-Anderson saw you asked on twitter about LTD on odds on @ home. Did you ever get reply on strike rate?

Brilliant idea buddy, fair play to you for posting transparency like this for traders adds a lot of value to the site. 3% a day is quite aggressive, im assuming your staking is 5% of the bank per trade?
If you remember I done something like this previously, but can’t find it and also we have quite a few new members since then!
Tonight I’m using 10% of my bankroll.
I’m an aggressive type of trader!
