Its the first sign of something special and a monumental week that only happens once every 4 years when the whole afternoon schedule of the three main TV channels looks like this.
World Cup
Queens Tennis
Royal Ascot
I consider myself a pretty organized person but when it took over an hour of logging in and just getting set up this morning (and will do every day this week) you know just how crazy this is going to be - So here's hoping for a great week!
Busiest Week of the Year is Here
+1 Dallas,
Its my birthday, the shiraz is flowing, I should turn the PC off, but my current bot ( there have been many) is doing ok. Happy birthday Dallas ( bit late ! ) Many thanks for all of your contributions over the past many years. Old farts like me ( 71 ) would have retired long ago without your help.
Didn't even know we played our second match, never mind qualified - show's how closely I've been following the tournament!

Another very busy day whether your trading or even just watching some sports!
Wimbledon 3rd round continues
Tour De France gets underway
British F1 qualifying
and of course a WC QF footie match taking place this afternoon

tbh I haven't used automation on that many more markets than I would normally do this time of year, what I have done though is used it in combination with watchlists to alert me to opportunities across numerous sports and markets.
That's enabled me to spread myself much further this last month.
Peter has done a very good blog post last week offering up some tips and advice on how to stay on top during busy periods

when one hasn’t cracked manual trading cracking automation is a long way off, I’m a one thing at a time sort of bloke.. probably that’s my downfall, willing to learn but with a tendency to get impatient, but can get annoyed with stuff I don’t understand, I am better than I used to be but the rules that can be created within the automation some of them really do go over my head.Dallas wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 3:19 pmtbh I haven't used automation on that many more markets than I would normally do this time of year, what I have done though is used it in combination with watchlists to alert me to opportunities across numerous sports and markets.

Like using stored values to indicate top & bottom of markets - absolutely clueless,
I’m sure I’ve seen Peter produce a weeks worth of P&L with 4 figures just on automation, 3 figures a day on greyhounds, that for me is demoralising, don’t get me wrong I am willing to learn it but to be honest I’m not from a coding / programming background so realistically don’t hold out much hope to get to a similar level, would gladly pay for someone’s time for some help with automation but don’t think that’s going to happen.

I know there are a few traders on here that can't trade manually but have had success when they turned to automation. One isn't necessarily more difficult than the other.
If somebody's making big profits on markets that you're struggling with, it a least tells you that you're not wasting your time on something that's not possible.
Demoralising, why?
