Some strange moves and you'd think it would be easy if I placed trades in between the peaks and troughs I would've walked off with some effortless profits (easy to say so in retrospect) - but me being me stuffed it up completely.
And it drifted out to 6 at official off and came back to 5 at actual off.
Therefore in retrospect all I did was make a deliberate loss.

That was an unbelievable steam... kept being backed with 2k stakes. Then inplay it drifted out above 10.0 I think before crashing back in to win... someone definitely had
a good idea what was going on with that horse...!
I backed it at around 8 for a small stake. I watched the race and it was forth and fifth up till the last few furlongs when the turbo mode switched on.
Was trading at 3.5 five mins pre-off and then made one big return trip from 4.5 to actual off.
Also, there were a couple of gambles spread out in various races that came in from 20's earlier in the day to end up at 4's and never looked like they were going to reverse at any point.

You need to fix your focus on a particular entry point, if you don't see it just don't do anything. In the case of these gambles you have a few options which don't necessarily mean following the gambles themselves.
It's often really hard to second guess the market so don't do it. Wait for an entry point, look for confirmation of that entry point then open the trade.
In this case you could have traded either and seen confirmation from the other that it wasn't going to reverse.
I know this doesn't quite look like a chart of the day stuff, but I was wondering if this looks like price manipulation, or is it normal for price to stick at Crossovers (in which case I might have mis-read it or drawn the wrong conclusion).

That one was just being held. Unless there is an equal amount of activity on both the back and lay sides or someone is manipulating then a price wont stick too long or it will just cause someone(s) to have more liability than they would want
