Diary
Sorry
for the delay in the diary for this month for those that do read it, its been
quite an exciting month for me. I have always been keen on getting into Trading
on the Betfair exchange having participated in match betting for a number of
years. Having followed Caan Berry and Peter Webb online for many years I have
always wanted to get into it. the reason for not is the fear of loosing money
and not having enough time to fully research the sport that I wish to trade on.
So,
I finally got involved in trading football last week. It was going great until
emotion took over when one trade went against me. Instead of having an exit
strategy I froze not knowing what to do and even though the trading was going
well at that point my washout was only heading further into the red and before
you know it had wiped out all of the weeks profit so far. Then to top it off
the same happened the following day, I should have learnt my lesson. I feel
that I let my emotion of loosing money get the better of me and instead of
taking a small loss I panicked again.
I
have now started to trade with an exit strategy in mind, but also I have
decided to study the odds movements for my trades throughout the football match
as gaining knowledge of how the odds are moving at various times through the
game will help me make better informed decisions.
For
the full week my trades were as follows
Trade
1 forgot to keep note of game £26.23
Trade

Rotterdam
vs Groningen (Lay the draw) £23.45

Willem

Norwich

Leaving
a total of -£244.15
This is certainly not the start I hoped for, however with my new ideas and attitude
to taking a small loss when needed if the trade goes against me, I think I
should recover total loss. I know where I have gone wrong so I will fund the loss so I can continue to learn trading.
If
anyone who reads this diary does football trading and would like to give me
some pointers it would be greatly received, likewise if anyone reading this
diary would like to jump on the trading journey with me, reply on here of send
me a message and we can help each other going forward.
