I was only thinking about that the other day. When I started out I tried to scalp everything, then I flipped that to looking for swing trades everywhere and now that I understand the market a lot more than I did back then I just take what the market is offering.

Would you say you have better edge in one vs. the other? and are you pre-race/IP/both on the nags?

Swing trading feels more natural to me but I've had to guard against looking for swings when they're not really there, in the past I've missed scalping opportunities because of that.

Only pre-race, I've messed about with IP on baby stakes but found myself getting frustrated which is never good. Took me a long time to get to the point where frustration isn't an issue on a daily basis anymore so I don't think I'm cut out for IP.

How's being a trader abroad suiting you?

Sounds like you're settling into a nice groove still with room for further improvement.
Abroad's great. Still happy to trade most hours each day but enjoy down-time much more than UK.

Wrote a bit more which I reckon you'll be interested in hearing, have PM'd it as not rly related to thread

Probably if you click the Exchange mobile site symbol at the top of the page?

No Pat don't need to DL the app, looking for races in time order so don't have to scan all cards with ultimate aim to identify next race quicker
ps need to click on it so cant use phone

And I think Newmarket deserve their own timezone at this point, same every year never improves clearly don't give a h00t for the scene

Horse racing - todays card from the main menu on the left will list them in time order but you'll get every single race in that list including swedish etc...

Thanks for tryna help Pat perhaps I should've been clearer. On Mobile Next Races page you can select "GB/IRE", this is what I'm after as the left panel splits GB/IRE so they're 2x sets of time order not 1x, if anyone has a solution lmk.
Atm have to fetch all live stream links in the morning and manually save them in order
