Hi All,
Posted this without reading the instructions!! Edited now to answer the Q’s
Who you are? Sam MacCuaig
Where you are from? Originally from south east, now based just outside Bristol.
What stage are you at in your trading journey? Early, have messed around a bit and had all my wins wiped out by big losses.
What's your background? I work in the coffee trade (import/export) so have some strong experience with futures and forex for hedging purposes. Hopefully can bring some of the technical stuff into the sports markets (theta etc).
Why did you join BTC? I’m very interested in trading in general from my work but don’t have the cash to risk on the options and futures markets. I don’t have a huge interest in sport (although willing to learn!) so I hope the community can help me make up some of the knowledge gap.
What do you hope to get from the community? Statistics and advice! I’m used to trawling through info for my work (eg weather patterns etc) but I didn’t have a place to start with sport so this is really helpful. Community is great also and I think will help with mindset and motivation.
What are some of your trading goals? Aim is to pay off as much of my mortgage as possible. It’ll be a long road I’m sure!!

@martin-futter thanks Martin! Yes it’s great in the south west! Happy to help any way I can, my experience is mostly in coffee futures (to hedge price fluctuations on the physical) and on options again with softs (coffee, cocoa). If you’re interested in any of these markets let me know as I get weekly fundamentals reports from the big trade houses. I can also share some example options strategies with target entry & exist points and some advice on using delta to gauge probabilities. Just let me know!
