Only another 48hrs and the manic grind will be over :mrgreen:
I would imagine that there are those that have made 5 figures over the past 2 or 3 weeks through automation, for me it's been a headache

tbh I haven't used automation on that many more markets than I would normally do this time of year, what I have done though is used it in combination with watchlists to alert me to opportunities across numerous sports and markets.

That's enabled me to spread myself much further this last month.

Peter has done a very good blog post last week offering up some tips and advice on how to stay on top during busy periods

when one hasn’t cracked manual trading cracking automation is a long way off, I’m a one thing at a time sort of bloke.. probably that’s my downfall, willing to learn but with a tendency to get impatient, but can get annoyed with stuff I don’t understand, I am better than I used to be but the rules that can be created within the automation some of them really do go over my head.

Like using stored values to indicate top & bottom of markets - absolutely clueless,

I’m sure I’ve seen Peter produce a weeks worth of P&L with 4 figures just on automation, 3 figures a day on greyhounds, that for me is demoralising, don’t get me wrong I am willing to learn it but to be honest I’m not from a coding / programming background so realistically don’t hold out much hope to get to a similar level, would gladly pay for someone’s time for some help with automation but don’t think that’s going to happen.

I know there are a few traders on here that can't trade manually but have had success when they turned to automation. One isn't necessarily more difficult than the other.

Demoralising, why?

If somebody's making big profits on markets that you're struggling with, it a least tells you that you're not wasting your time on something that's not possible.

demoralising because I don’t understand how to get the best out of it, it’s a bit like saying here’s what I can do & you don’t know how, something like a..

Phew that's finally it for another 4 years - think a few days rest with a bit of data work before settling back into the daily routine stuff

Next time the World Cup takes place in winter. It might be a blessing for racing/football traders to give Fontwell a miss for the World Cup!
