A good day

Today made my best ever total, £11.83. Obviously it is possible to make more money when you have increased your stakes, but I am feeling good about it anyway. The rest of the month has been up and down, so need to keep my head together. I could already feel the reluctance to put in trades for fear of destroying my days profit. A good day can also affect the next few days trading through greed and overconfidence, so tomorrow I am going to have to push all the thoughts and emotions away, and make sure I am in the zone.

    Hey Neil,

    A nice lil profit there, talking about getting in the zone, I myself find I trade easier when I've got my music going and I'm completely relaxed, saves making irrational judgements.. not that I've traded for awhile mind you.

    When I first started trading I lost a bit, made a bit, instead of looking at it as money lost, looked at it as a paid lesson.

    Every loss I'd make, I'd learn something from it.

    Hey Jay , thanks for the comment. Do you still trade, or just lay, as your blog title suggests?
    I still feel that I am on the bottom rung of the trading ladder( sometimes only just holding on lol), but things are definitely getting better every day.

    Good on you Neil! To get £11 out of today's markets is jolly good going. I felt out of my depth to be honest.

    Hey Neil,

    Just seen your reply, I trade occasionally on the US markets, because i run 6 bots with different systems I've created trading is a no-go in the day due to the betfair API charges.

    We all start on the bottom rung I'm afraid, some people pick it up quicker than others, but once you get going, you'll look back andwonder what all the fuss was abou.
