Ah now it makes sense, I missed the footy bit.
Id like to be able to keep going after a big volume hit also, but I think I need to relax a bit more. It really undoes my confidence and I make stupid trades I wouldn't normally attempt.
I guess it all comes back to discipline.

I've been preparing a video to illustrate the point on how losses affect peoples ability. Hopefully I will get round to editing and uploading it at some point. When people hear me explain it on the course, people suddenly see some light but I bet you a lot of people still find it difficult to do. People find it really tough to accept a mistake / error but everybody makes them.
I think it's even tougher when the market jumps against you unexpectadly, because that wasn't even your fault!
Some of it can depend on your trading style though, if there is only 30 secs to the off you probably don't have enough time to do anything about it.

Definitely Bookmaking explained further… after a few months of using Betangle I still find that I’m actually predicting outcomes, rather than trading…
Betangle is definitely a critical tool and brings into the betting equation a substantial level of risk management control.
However, I cannot help but think that at the end of the day, the Bookmaker always wins!
So why no utilize the exchange and Betangle more from that perspective?

Bookmakers don't always win

all depends on their liabilities on each individual book, plenty of bookmakers will happily stand liabilities because they know they're offering under true odds, and in the long run they'll come out on top.
Obviously different bookies have different strategies but the obvious advantage they hold is being able to lay at SP , 120% books etc which gives a lot of room for error in your pricing. With 101% books on the exchanges you'll find it hell of a lot harder to get a fully balanced book , throw in the fact any non runner over 2.5% is a loss for you and it's not as easy as it first seems

As obviosly there are some other techniques entering and exiting trades at this level of stakes.

there are no correct settings for this!
Even if Euler gave you exactly the settings he used it wouldn't change you into a profitable trader. There is no perfect setup only a setup that you are used to and have experience reading the market through.
The settings Euler uses work for him because he has vast experience in how the market moves using those settings. If he changed his settings tomorrow to something completely different he could adapt his trading and would still be very profitable.
Don;t concentrate on looking for a perfect settings setup because ultimately what works for you is your perfect setup which you need to find and thats not something you can copy from another trader.

Indeed.
And looking for perfection in trading is a fool's errand. I'll settle for something that makes me consistent profits!

I agree that there is no such thing as correct settings. A tip I've recently found useful after watching some trading videos linked by a forum member, is to have multiple candlesticks of the same runner open at different time scales. You can then use the larger time frames to add weight to any indicators you might spot on the smaller time scale charts.
