-
@Terry-Cooke Get in!!! Great to have you back, you are back because the season is over and we cannot give you any stick right now for supporting a terrible team aren't you?
-

I’m back!! Been a long time coming and finally I have managed to sort my life out and rejoin for the third time (say third time is a charm).
Looking forward to all the banter and learning!

Hello All,
Who you are?
Simon - hello all!
Where you are from?
Cambridgeshire, UKWhat stage are you at in your trading journey
Dabbled with FX and financial trading before. Just stumbled across some of the videos on YouTube while off sick from work!What's your background?
I'm an engineer by trade - my brain is very 'cause and effect'.Why did you join BTC?
To get it right from the start - if it doesn't work I tried everything to the book, and if it does well I may buy a boat
What do you hope to get from the community?
Support and help to discover what works for me - in time and energy.What are some of your trading goals?
I'd like to trade at 10% profit per week and just compound that.Still navigating my way around so will likely 'lurk' in the shadows for a while until I can speak with any confidence

@Stephen-Knowles That sounds like the dream that!
I like the golden hour before the kids get up as well it's a game changer having one of them, coffee and trading sounds perfect!
-
@Ryan thanks for the reply, I have started to record data it's just a case of keeping at it! I'd like to learn more about Excel spreadsheets which I'm sure I will as I go along to get running totals/percentages etc in the charts. Like @Martin I'm an early riser so that is my 'golden hour' (before the kids rise...) to do the research and input the data into spreadsheets ready for my days bets/trades. I am lucky that I can listen to BTC podcasts while I'm building walls so I'm currently going through them, some of them twice to help it absorb! I'm determined to keep at it and am enjoying the journey although it's only just started.
-
@Stephen-Knowles Welcome!
Beautiful part of the world, welcome to the group great to have you here.
what's stopping you actually recording data?
-
Who are you? Stephen Knowles
Where are you from? Kendal
What stage are you at in your trading journey? At the beginning!
What's your background? Stonemason
Why did you join BTC? To learn how to consistently profit from Betfair over the long term.
What do you hope to get from the community? Ideas and information of how others do things. Transform my mentality to not chase loses and be disciplined data recording.
What are some of your trading goals? Initially to cover the cost of BTC, then eventually I'd like to think I can make an extra £5/£10 a day doing something I enjoy and am interested in that is a far cry from my manual job!
-
@andrew-page That's amazing, that would be a lot more than most get as well.
You can build on that as well, I think for a lot of people they actually need to see this can be done then they can believe in themselves more.

@Michael-Rathbone Its worth remembering (I mentioned this to another today) how the people who make a full time income from trading got there?
They built their banks, the person today said its pointless doing low stakes lays on the strategy I want to be doing £100 lays, but you dont get to the £100 lays without doing the £10 ones.
Nothing is pointless its the lessons learnt whilst low stakes building up
even a dripping tap fills a bath
My lays last year produced a profit of £1700 not much by some standards but its decent profit for £20 straight lays every day is a learning day even for me -
@Michael-Rathbone said in Introduce Yourself to the Community:
@Martin presumably need a pretty big bank
yep you can compound and build over time though, one of the biggest mistakes new traders make is trying to rush the process or starting with bigger stakes than they are comfortable losing.
