Month 2 of trading
Jan was a really brutal month for me and steep learning curve. I take some slight comfort from Martins video about Jan results and how if you joined BTC and started trading in Dec and Jan - which I have the results have been quite tough going.
Overall I was -£44.66 on my set and forget strategies using £5 stakes. A lot of my strategies seem to dive in Jan.
Highlights
- New back the draw strategy has shown a 23.64% ROI.
- Under 1.5 goals - 29.28% ROI
- Home Win at Half Time - 11.59% ROI
Lowlights
- My away win filter bombed (this needs more work and testing I think)
- Most of my other filters are showing negative results.
Plan going forward - I think I need to slow down a bit and track my strategies for Feb and see if Jan was a blip that will right itself and averages return to a 'normal level'
Keep testing my 70 min inplay goal strategy - current strike rate 62% strike rate 58 selections
Testing my FHG strategy - 65% strike rate with 52 selectionsI need to decide whether to up my £5 stakes to £7 on my winning strategies while I track the others and look for a return to normal level.
I'm enjoying it despite the Jan down turn and I hope that spring and summer football produce more predictable results on my strategies.
If anyone has any advice, tips or feedback then I am always ready to hear it. Roll on Feb and let's see if things pick up! Cheers, Al

@alex-rule It's eye opening isn't it when it clicks that as traders we can go against where the market thinks it is and its usually the path to the promised land
Your long odds under 1.5 is cracking!! SR 50%+ and average odds over 3.0 keep that up!!
How are you picking these selections?

@martin Thanks Martin, could not have done it without and you and Ryan's help. The mentality has been the hardest thing but I can hand on heart say that I did not trade a single bet that wasn't a selection on a strategy in Dec.
I also have to say that your idea of going against the market is where I am seeing the best results.
Under 1.5 Goals - 51%ROI
Away Win - 44% ROILower strike rates but bigger rewards! More data to add this month and hopefully a similar return!

@keith-anderson Cheers, Keith. Will be interesting to see if I can match or increase it on these strategies for the next few months. Hope your trading is going well?
