@james-everard chasing the death of many a great trader
take a second to think of those we have lost -
HI Alex, welcome aboard you sound very similar to me blown large banks after building up nicely and like you say red mist descends and try to retrieve a losing trade and making it worse. Mentality is the biggest hurdle getting there slowly trying to learn from the much more experienced traders on here and not to chase loses!
-
@alex-h great to have you here buddy, sounds like you’ve had some
Good success in the past - hopefully he’ll you achieve some more going forward! -
Who you are?
Alex HWhere you are from?
Westhoughton (nr Bolton)What stage are you at in your trading journey?
Still an amateur trader after 3 years. Grown banks from scratch to £7k and scratch to £5k (twice) and blown them both!!! Mentality a big issue especially as I am a conservative trader. Problem comes from chasing losses when red mist descends and mind turns to mush. Trade mainly football (in-play) but also dabble cricket. Want to master the gee-gees moving forwardWhat's your background? Healthcare for 20 years but 7 years as a betting shop manager (Ladbrokes) straight from Uni.
Why did you join BTC?
Help get some structure to my trading, get ideas for new strats and software. Joined about 9 months ago but not put much effort in until now.What do you hope to get from the community?
Contribute and develop as a traderWhat are some of your trading goals?
Turn semi-pro by end of 2019Will make a conscious effort to get involved on the forum moving forward
Speak soon

@lee-woodman wahoo welcome back!

Who you are? Lee
Where you are from? Near Preston, Lancs
What stage are you at in your trading journey? Traded a couple of years ago but with no structure, no mentality, no bankroll management. Developed ‘fuckarounditis’ and trading didn’t last for me (also for personal reasons). Didn’t do anything with it for 18 months and then 5 months ago I started again with a much improved mindset and mentality. Set a target of 10 PTS per month and I’ve hit it each month so far
What's your background? I worked the 9-5’s now I do matched betting full time for the last 3-4 years
Why did you join BTC? I was a member a couple of years ago and always like the members and the guys who run it
What do you hope to get from the community? Bounce ideas around and pick up strategies and ideas
What are some of your trading goals? Hopefully trade full time. I want to continue to develop some solid strategies, lots of discipline and knowledge. I’ve got some decent thinking in certain aspects but bad habits in other
