I've come to trading later in life but I've always been sports mad and have watched and played a lot of sport over the years.

I've played cricket for a long time locally (more from a social aspect) and also followed it for years, and take in a few live games a season. I would say I have a reasonable above average knowledge of the game, teams, players and tactics etc.

I have had to make sure that I arm myself with stats though (cricket is awash with them) as this gives me the confidence to enter a trade or not based on my reading of the game.

Two rules per horse - four conditions..

Sorry to bump an old post but wondering if you just fix the market or set up rules for each horse?

Hi Samo
I’m not actually running that strategy at the moment, but in general i just set up the markets in a morning with a common strategy, more than one account but with slightly different criteria.
Working in something completely new at the moment but on hols out of the country till next week, but can’t wait to try it out.
I don’t know about other long term traders, but I find most of my strategies to date are just variations of a theme.
Regards
Peter

Nice work on the tennis. It’s something I haven’t cracked yet so I should probably look at it again.

I presume that’s manual though? I think I’d struggle with taking the day off if I could manage a couple £k a day due to the lost opportunity cost - kind of an ‘earn what you can while it lasts’ mentality, because you don’t know how long it will. That’s where automation wins though. I can take the day off /and/ earn my piece.
