swapped to that race just after that happened, gutted :(

Koratt was that the fav in the 15:45? went up through 2.00 touched 2.56 bsp ~2.44
yeah, I got on & got stopped out, there was a ceiling that formed around evens and to be honest I didn’t know what to do after then so I just sat back & watched, there was a big lay stake early on that pushed the price out & when it breached my entry it seemed to be on a knife edge so I sat out, just inexperience on that one

can’t stand those 1.xx markets when they’re choppy like that
The majority of shorties chop, to some extent. 2.xx was extremely choppy through May according to my stats

Psych. Everyone loves a binary decision, more likely than not or less likely than not are easier concepts to understand than a balanced argument. But who needs psych eh? ;)

Once Sergio Canavero transplants Peter's head to mine - & it doesn't improve my trading - then I'll buy Trading in the Zone :D

The markets lately have traded more like US markets where it pays to put orders in well away from where the activity is. I should be at home with these markets.

If it's pissing down with rain outside I would take an umbrella, rather than to look at historical weather data and conclude the average day in June in my area is dry and sunny!

If you had his head, presumably you'd have his psychology too?

All the psych stuff isn't just to figure out how you tick, it's to figure out how other people tick. Afterall, we are all just traders of peoples' behaviour.

You might be a flawless psychologically perfect robot, but thankfully most people aren't. :)

Simon doesn't believe in the here and now Derek, unless it's the same here and now as is proven to have existed >50% of the time there and then :) I'd counter recency bias with responsiveness in psychology Top Trumps.

Hmmm yah.. Just his spreadsheets then :lol:

See I'd reword that to:

"Thankfully most people don't have an edge"

I wonder what market comprised of only Peterites would look like. Dull, flat, tepid - No-one would take a price :D
