£1.2m at the off on the Caulfied cup was nice to see this morning. But it was pretty stuff up with money.

Volume of market and filling rate is very important.

Checking my stats for this one, I had approx $44k matched, making up about 2.5% of the market. I think that is just about as far out as I can push things myself. As can be seen up earlier in this thread, I had a bad outcome, and that was totally due to pushing out the boat too far. I tried to dominate the market, and push it around, but the market won.

Here's the pre-off Volume stats from my spreadsheet. Caulfield Cup is about $1.7m (AUD).

I didn't realize UK traders saw the same market denominated in GBP. I was under the impression that traders from both sides of the pond were looking at the same numbers irrespective of the currency.

Gaz, Naffman, Jmcole - you guys trading the Geelong Cup tomorrow?

I'm really keen on giving it a bash. Hope we have some good liquidity across the entire card at Geel tomorrow.

Don't know yet, not quite sure if the liquidity will be that good bar the Geelong Classic and Cup. Might just have the day off and wait for MValley on Saturday. Would you happen to have a video of scalping the Caulfield markets last Saturday Switesh, as I can swing trade, but I can't scalp...pretty one dimensional hey.

I will be taking a look at the Geelong races. I have found previous years to be surprisingly good and have returned some good results for this day. I can't remember much about liquidity for past years, but the number of runners this year (67 for 9 races) is about half that of previous years. Also some of the big punters may be wary of betting as the track is heavy and it is the first time it has been used in 12 months after undergoing works.

Ok. Took a sneak peak on my VPN from the iPad.

Bit of a drift on the favourite in the cup has allowed me to lock in a green.

500k matched on the Geelong Cup and other races on the card weren't great either with small fields.
Made a few blunders in thin markets.

Good luck for Fri eve & Sat afternoon.

How'd you go Gaz?

I couldn't get in the zone this evening. Caught in-play 4/7 times but managed to escape for -$60 on the evening.

Not sure how tomorrow will pan out, but confidence a bit below par.

Don't sweat Friday night. It's always a crap shoot. Very patchy.

$1.9 m matched at the off. :shock:

Next week is the big one for those interested in Australia. Derby day.

"The Day" of Australian racing. (Forget Melbourne Cup that is a one group 1 event day).
