It's been a While

BJJ Wise I'm now a blue belt and have been for around 2 years, but this blog is mainly about my trading with maybe a little bit of Jui Jitsu thrown in when I feel like it.

I started looking more seriously at trading football,as just before the World Cup started i was invited to a What's app trading group which was based around just football trading.
Although there are some knowledgeable people in the group I never really used it much as I found either following someone else's tips or even giving tips distracts me and seems to bump me off my course. i,e  a lot of my trades go South as soon as I tip something.

Had a decent World Cup and I saw my bank more than double, however I started having trouble with the mental side of trading, I can certainly make money and good trades I do however end up chasing my losses and I ended up crashing not long after the World Cup and losing most of my bank.

I'm slowly building it back up and am no longer concerned about my bank size I'm now more concerned with taking a regular income from my winnings.

Lessons learned over the Summer Don't chase losses, if a trade goes bad maybe it's time to quit for the day and not to try and win it all back in my next 2 trades
Also do not talk  to significant others about how good I'm doing

This Week on the Mats

Wed I turned up for day class but nobody else turned up apart from me and the coach, so I had a private lesson, covering Spider guard to X guard and back take. Fri Day Class I drilled the things I ran through during my private session and also the Mike Fowler capoeira pass, I do however need to break this down and drill the initial part of the pass more often. I had some good rolls with the guys there I can't remember who was there but I know George was and I remember me telling him he roll to nice and needs to be a bit more aggressive, which is really a reminder for myself to do this too. Oh and I received my 3rd stripe on my white belt off Adam too. Saturday Open mat and class we drilled variations of back control controlling the arm with the foot vefore going for a choke and also a switch over from side control. Rolling again and Lloyd one of the purple belts commented about me not fighting enough to escape arm bars I reasoned that my arms are very inflexible but...

Introduction

My name is Graeme, I’m 43 I live in Cheshire. I have a decent paying job and work shifts, the  shift pattern mean’s I get blocks of days off, I work 4 X 12 hour shifts one week 3 x 12 the following and then 2 x 12 the week after. The days off means I will have plenty of time for trading on betfair, and training at Factory BJJ in Stockport where I am a white belt at Brazilian Jui Jitsu. I have dabbled on betfair for around 5 or 6 years half arsing it between gambling and trading .,I have been on a long losing streak, I suppose the reason I’m still a white belt at BJJ is I’ve been half arsing it at that too, although I have had some success at this as I won the British Open in my category this year. After more than 4 years I should be a belt level above white belt at least. Well the reason for the blog is to keep a journal of my progress at betfair and my progress on the mats.

Not the best set up

Ok so my living room set up is not the most conducive to successful trading. I'm sort of making do with my current set up, think I need to concentrate on hitting my small daily goal of + £ 4. Then cease trading for the day and carry on with setting up my trading future. To include recordable live Racing, a desk, at least 2 monitors with back up pc, and internet via a cable set-up and not wifi
