Tonights results

Well, there the last races of the day were later today, so I got to trade on a couple. I would have got onto more but my wife has become addicted to Facebook and I couldn't get her off the computer! I didn't do bad, but I didn't do great either. The first race, I ended up taking a small loss and the second a small profit, so I pretty much stayed where I started. On the second one I had built up a few quid from repeated trades, just taking a tick here and there, but the price was pretty high and so the green up amount was low. I thought, as it was the favourite, it might lower in-play. Nah, it went out the running pretty quick and I struggled to get anything. A lesson against being greedy. Lots of people have said, not to go in-play, even if it is to green up and that is a good example why. Still, if I hadn't been greedy I would have got a better price in-play, if I had got out sooner. Though hind sight is a wonderful thing with 20/20 vision!

There was no in-play football on in time for me to get in at the start, which is part of my plan. So, not a lot happening again. I need to make up for it this weekend.

Umming and arring

I keep getting my fingers burnt by getting into trades too late, just when the market is about to turn. I see an opportunity, where it looks like there is a trend up or down. I watch it until I think it is a definite trend and then enter a trade but I leave it too long before I get in. Perhaps I need to just get in quick and be ready to get out again if I am wrong, rather than hang around umming and arring. I'll give that a try. It will mean lots of in/out scratch (hopefully) trades buy will also mean that I should get in on the movement.
