@ben-dobie If you get stuck give me a shout matey
-
@ryan-carruthers cheers mate I'll have a look at that.
-
@ben-dobie yes matey, I have loved that for a while.
Calm is good, I've started to use their daily one and see how I am getting on.
What I have found by doing it is that I am more aware of the kind of mood or meditation I need from trial and error then that leads me to finding the right one
-
@ryan-carruthers I really want to get into meditation can you recommend a good starting point, I know you've mentioned headspace but do you have a particular one you listen to form that app ?
-
@ben-dobie Amazing how so many things can impact trading without us realising.
I've spoken about it before but I started using Yoga and meditation (I've thought it was a waste of time before ever actually trying it) it's made a huge difference to my calmness in the trade.
That paired with me thinking am I actually in the right frame of mind to trade? Then not beating myself up about it if not.
-
@john-hurst Yeah mate I've been cursing the woodwork and hero defenders like you wouldn't believe
I think this is where we need to learn to remove the emotion from it all though, treat a win like a loss and vice versa although it's hard not to appreciate a late winning trade isn't it -
@alan-steward thanks mate that makes sense, I thinks the LCS is a little less advanced than the O 1.5 think that's what I'll use to rebuild confidence when I get back to it

Literally can't get anything right this last week
stuck in a real rut 
Same here, cant seem to get going. Results/goals just arent coming when they should be.
-
@ben-dobie Yes... Definitely drop to just one of the better converting ones (not necessarily most profitable one, reason being wins pick up confidence
)Also don't forget your private coaching option, the boys will gladly help you there!
-
@ryan-carruthers cheers mate hope the small break will help me reset my mindset. Not helping that my actual job is stressing me out lately either I don't think. Think sometimes I want this too much which clouds my judgement
-
@alan-steward morning mate, I have one of my own for late LCS and I use one that Lee Woodman posted a while ago on the stats challenge thread for O 1.5 in H2.
I don't think the issues are with the filters as both are solid in terms of strike rate I think the problem is with me trying to trade both strategies at the same time as they often throw up some of the same games. I think I'm best sticking to one strategy and just tracking the other. So much has clicked recently but after a few losing days I've found myself slipping into bad habits and I'm determined not to go back down that road -
@ben-dobie Morning mate... Losing trades are no more than stepping stones to our next winning trade.
Do you mind me asking where you're struggling most... Is it with your filters or member filters?
-
@ben-dobie noticing this is massive matey, well done.
Taking a break always does me the world of good - get a few days off and do something you love with the time you usually trade it works a treat!

In Melbourne match will be trading as follows;
Dutch Back Correct Scores 3-1, 2-2 & 1-3 for 0.25pts (already placed)
Queue Lay u2.5 goals @ 2.4 for 0.25pts (will take best price @ KO)Am fairly confident of 2 goals in this match and if 0-0 @ HT & in-play stats suggest good attacking intent will dutch lay 0-0, 1-0 & 0-1 to cover red, circa 0.65pts (any 2 goals for scratch), if in-play stats look poor will LCS @ evens to cover red.
Will add any in-play trades here
-
@chris-osborne I'm with you mate, think it's the best thing to do rather than chase money that will eventually come back anyway
-
@richard-latimer this is true, difficult thing is not falling into old bad habits try and get out of it I think a small break is the best thing I can do at the minute
-
@eamonn-hogan I was thinking about doing something similair mate, need a reset of the brain I think
