@richard-latimer I can imagine mate , not helped by covid not doing anyone's mental health any good. Hopefully this year we may see an end to it all fingers x

[Richard Latimer]

@james-everard Good on you, hopefully 2022 can be better than 2021 which was my worst on record (not trading but everything else).

[james everard]

@richard-latimer Exactly the same for me mate but probably not quite the urgency you have. Good you have the discipline and not chasing losses which is why i have decided to follow your example and post daily on my blog to make sure i don't deviate away from my strategies and start chasing losses etc. Good luck mate

Going to post these now in case I'm feeling worse for wear:

Not the Prem. League is in the red currently.

Some more stuff has shown up in English leagues so I'm going to have to force myself in front of the computer. Bugger!

@richard-latimer Nice one Richard, well done for this

[John Folan]

@martin that’s what I think sometimes. When it’s slow at the start it can seem pointless but trading is like a snowball effect. I do everything on 1% compounding (or 1/2% compounding if it’s swingy). If the strategy is any good it will get where you want it in time. That little snowball will become an avalanche, especially if over time you develop a few of them.

Anyway who won the race? The tortoise or the hare?

Have a good new years all!

You too mate, really love the foundation you are building here showing how to build from the ground up, of course the initial stages will be slow and not yield big profits but if it creates a winning trader then all you need to do is scale, keep up the good work!

Considering stepping back on the current tracking of FHG. Still only up to 134 qualifying selections and some of the leagues have almost nothing. I'll still be collecting the data so if I want to look at it again in the future I can easily enough. Would hopefully have ecquired 2 or 3x as much data by then as well.

In the meantime I've noticed just from looking at a couple of the better leagues that this filter will work for the over 1.5 which may be a nice bonus in the future. I'm going to keep looking at this angle just to make sure it holds up although it won't be replacing the SHG which I believe is my golden goose haha!

Your posts seem more consistently positive. So there has definitely been a turning of the worm. You are still the Tinkerman but if it works for you then crack on my friend. What the f*** do any of us really know anyway?

Here’s to a cracking 2022

I've been thinking the same of late. Certainly seems to be light at the end of the tunnell. Big upturn in positivity in posts in the last few weeks.

Good luck for 2022

[Richard Latimer]

The difference is I'm tinkering on one consistent which I have never ever done before. Not only that that but collecting every piece of data allows me to put it in and out again like the hokey cokey haha!!

I used to get really frustrated and blame luck all the time etc. VAR and all that. I now look at it from the point of view that luck had almost nothing to do with it. Analyze the data, find the mistake if there is/was one, correct it for future reference if necessary and move on.
