    Decided to give this a bash, would be nice to share and get any feedback!

    Starting Bank £450 - I usually keep around £500 in my balance but for once I am going to try compound this up into MILLIONs... or a couple quid! Either way, growth is the aim!

    I have in recent times had classic FOMO. However, I have decided to home in a select few methods and master them after chatting to what who I call trading gurus, similar to that of star wars Yoda (John and David, I am sure one of them will take that as a compliment)

    I aim to stake 1% of my bank on things I see as SOLID. (This means I have collected enough data to break down the odds, leagues/courses, etc and make an educated decision on whats working and not)

    Else I will test other methods until it becomes SOLID as above.

    I mainly use BA and currently trying to automate as much as I can.. not quite there yet!

    Main Trading Plan Details
    Start Date - 20.11.17
    Start Bank - £450 (1% Stake)
    Current Bank - £450

    Feedback and any advice welcome.

    @mark-baldwin Sorry, only seeing this now! There are only really 4 or 5 trades on a busy day (Like Saturday / Sunday). Firstly, the teams have to be drawing at HT. Secondly, I'm not going to LTD when the odds are too high. There may be loads of matches on the filter, but very few are actually trades.

    I am all back and healthy, I only traded sunday this weekend.

    I done some dogs which gave me a 1 pt profit this weekend, I didnt do horses as I focused mainly on my old faithful.. football!

    I focused on "interactive trading" by that I mean dutching CS and trading as the game progressed.

    I picked a few games I felt 3-1/2-1/1-2/1-3 or 1-1/2-2 where of a high likely hood and dutched them.

    Lazio, Austria Vienna, Waregem, Roda and Breda where the games and 4/5 came with a target score, very happy! Two of them games there was a last minute winner!

    Example of the outcome.

    I will be doing more of these and I will try post them more in the Football thread.

    On the spreadsheet side of things and results. I am currently updating daily but after some good advice, I will be doing once weekly as it should take less time and means my weekdays can be more streamlined!

    @Liam-Couper Sounds awful mate. Hope you're on the mend now

    @Keith-Anderson Really reassuring to hear what you've been through mate and that you've learnt from you mistakes. I've been dabbling but going for a promotion at work and with the kids too, just had minimal time to look at trades. I wondered though, what percentage of the selections on your filter, on the stats page do you end up trading?

    Oh hey! I had a break even saturday as the dogs killed it while the horses didnt, still happy! Unfortunatly I was attacked saturday night so have spent the last 2 days recovering and not done any trading. Broken nose and some black and blue eyes!

    Back on it today! I will try give a wider update this week.

    Sorry to hear about this Liam. Hope you're feeling better soon.

    He got home 5 minutes late from the pub and his missus beat him up.

    (Only joking, I hope)

    Rome was slightly grazed.

    Around 5 point loss yesterday. Dogs made +2 pts and horses -7pts!

    Lets hope Rome restarts today!

    @liam-couper Exactly, but then when you get to £100 stakes you will have the confidence in not only yourself but the stakes, system etc...

    Yep, Rome is every changing just like trading! Improvise, Adapt & Overcome!

    @ryan-carruthers I agree! Happy to make that daily if I can!

    £1 stakes........£3.50
    £10 stakes......£35
    £100 stakes....£350

    Thats the way I am looking at it, less variance and steady profit and I will be at £100 stakes in time. Could be years, but Rome wasn't built in a day.
