Finally happened, had first profitable month after starting in November. Was only about £10 up using £1 stakes but it’s a start.
Well done mate. I did the same for feb, using £10 stakes on set & forget strategies and £1 stakes on testing strategies of my own I finished £87 up. I learnt a great lesson too....after the first week I was already £80 up, but the second week I lost £60. In the past I would have changed things up at this point, thinking I had got it all wrong.....but I stuck to the plan, recorded everything I traded, and lo and behold....some profit
I stopped putting impromptu trades on too, every trade was from a filter. -
@dave-tancock same here
think looking at the results for Dec and Jan couldn't have started at a worse time but its all part of the learning process so hopefully onwards and upwards
-
@dave-tancock good work, keep it going

Looking at both the home and away percentages to be 85% plus!
Definitely something in this, just need to do a bunch of testing

For anyone interested, results of my first month of forward testing the U3.5 strategy with thresholds increased to 85 per cent on previous home and away matches having under 3.5 are below:
19 trades
16 wins
SR 84.2%
P/L +9.2 or up £27.59 to £10 stakesOnly a month in but will test for at least a couple more months
That's very interesting are you looking at overall percentage at 85% (so H and A combined) or are you looking individually at home being 85% and away being 85% or above?
Its actually had a good month last month with a very good SR I know its been struggling but there have been some interesting tweaks suggested with taking Saturdays out and now this 85% angle that makes me think this could be a very viable strategy moving forward. Keep up the good work Andy and keep us posted -
@andy-donnelly very stong!

@nick-allan one I would want to test more and maybe tweak settings, I don't advise investing in this strategy personally at this point
oh im paper trading it, been doing for 4 months and agree at the moment not good enough to take live, but i have been recently looking at it 2 ways with laying o3.5 but that in the very early days of testing
when you you think the backtesting software is going to be ready @Martin

@terry-heller You need to open the spreadsheet to anyony with a link. At the moment I think you only have it set to yourself.
Ahh could you tell me how to do that please?
