100 DAYS OF VALUE: AN ASPIRING FOOTBALL TRADER'S JOURNEY
-
I am buzzing to read this!!
This is going to be a wicked post to follow along with and wish we could have everybody doing something like this.
What I really love here is that you have done this with you in mind, so many traders come in and don't look at how to make their trading fit their life and then they get disheartened when it doesn't work out.
You've done the opposite and aimed to build it around your life. Top man.

@Martin thank you. Yeah, financial flexibility and freedom is the ultimate goal - it makes such a big difference!
In terms of the systems themselves, I'm all about value, but I haven't been actively tracking results in terms of profit/loss just yet. Since Sept '23, I've been purely gathering data and testing, entering selections that fit into a certain set criteria. Not every selection that comes up is a "value" pick - in fact, most often aren't - so, it's more about building a dataset to strengthen the reliability of that data over time. The more data I gather, the more accurate the implied odds should be, which will hopefully help identifying actual value.
That's why I'm starting now - I've got almost a year and a half's worth of data, and this challenge is about putting it to the test and seeing where I really stand.

My long-term goal isn't to quit my job, but to eventually supplement my income through football trading - enough to reduce the need for overtime and to create more financial flexibility.
This is the way!
Such a great post but this is something specifically I have been thinking a lot about recently, most succesful traders use their money this, have other business interests or even part time work. The financial flexibility makes a huge difference in life.
How have your systems got on so far in testing?

@Alex-Rendell good luck Alex

29/01/25 (Day 1): Currently no upcoming selections (typical!)
EDIT @ 11:42am - In League Two tonight there's potential for the Barrow v Doncaster game to qualify if it's 0-0 at half-time (depending on odds).
8pm kick off, UK time.
