Perhaps the more seasoned traders could tell us whether this is a recurring winter/summer theme.

Oh boy I really hope that pun was unintended

What theme were you referring to?

[Euler]

Found the markets to be OK this week, nothing special, just ok.

York Ebor on the horizon now.

Perhaps the more seasoned traders could tell us whether this is a recurring winter/summer theme.

What theme were you referring to?

Winter: more likely for a price to shoot up 10-20 ticks very quickly, then revert back down just as fast.

Summer: more likely for a price to shoot up 10-20 ticks very quickly, then stay there or thereabouts.

Is this a recurring theme?

[Euler]

In the summer pre-race there are more things that can go wrong so you often get sudden movements, less so in the winter. Not sure if the retracement changes. I've not noticed that much, but can have a look.

My view on spikes is that sometimes they are unwarranted and I will sit on my hands. But if there are a couple of heavy orders in the market I may dump my position.

If you wanna get serious about trading and master it, don't risk massive percentages of your bank!

Most traders will lose a small percentage of their bank on a bad day and win a small percentage on a good day. Risking more than half your bank is a recipe for disaster.

I like that quote, Nero - thanks for sharing.
