Got caught badly on this drifter at the last Grp1 at Caul. Hope some of you got a big green on this. Not to be missed ;)

I went in heavy backing it (with $1250) because I was trying to go for a big green to end the day. Got it Completely wrong. Made a really big mess of this trade but managed to keep the loss to -$20 in the end :x

Sometimes the markets are lined up so perfect that you can use big stakes (even with a small bank) and really have a go at some record figures. I'm still trying to get my first 3 digit green.

Ended up positive for the day but Stuffed up 2 really big opportunities. Grrr :)

I am a nonstarter this Saturday. Too many family events.

The first at Geelong did 150k in pre-off Volume, but that was due to an odds-on fav. I anticipate the other races will do around 60k & so will Ipswich.

Not great liquidity, but good enough to do some warm-up trading and prepare for the Grp2's at Mooney Valley tomorrow.

BTW, the fav (Atlantic Jewel) in 14:10 R4 Grp2 at MVal tomorrow is currently trading at 1.09

If I had a bigger bank I'd be keen to scatter a few limit orders on it overnight.

Good luck & see you in the market tomorrow.

Got off to a bleak start with slow responsive counter in the early half of the day. That affected my ability to turnover trades and put me in a passive mode. The half hr wait in-between races didn't help either.

Only managed an avg of $10 in the grps races at Caul for the latter part of the day with was quite frustrating.

I hope they get Randwick off the Turnover charge. Was a shame to miss out on the action there. Definitely needed more trading opportunities today.

Very lackluster day overall. Hope you had better a result gazuty.

Friday evening (Aus time) @ Mooney Valley is back on the card from tomorrow.

Will be nice to get Fri evening and Sat to trade Aus.

Good Luck and see you in the market!

Caulfield's on Sunday instead of usual Saturday afternoon (Aus time).
How come? Does anybody know why?

Wanted to take the Sunday off, but will have to be behind my desk trading Caulfield.

Does anyone know if Mornington (on Saturday) attracts decent volume? If not, I'll take Saturday off.

Caulfield is on Sunday due to the AFL Grand Final. I would be surprised if Mornington attracts the volume of a normal Victorian Saturday as the races aren't of the same quality. Tonight and Sunday are the best quality races this weekend.

After the first 3 at MVal I'm lingering about half-way behind you gazuty.

How do you find trading on the iPad? Are you on a wifi setup?

Incredible pulling out decent PL's on 500ms.

Out of curiosity gaz, are you going to try pre-off footy (grand-finals) tomorrow? I've never tried it but worth a few scalps I suppose?

The Hawthorn v Fremantle Match Odds market is at around 230k right now. I'm keen to do some pre-off on it tomorrow.
