Goal update

Well the goal has changed slightly, i had to take some money out of my a/c for personal spendage.
So the goal has changed.
I decided to open up another betfair account so that i could have one for my poker and betting and my new one just for trading. Deposited £80 into my new account on Monday.

So my new goal as of Monday has been to turn that £80 into £200, still by the 10th Sept.
I've managed to trade Tuesday and today. My account now sits at a tidy £120, so will keep you all up to date on my progress!

Today was a crazy day. Started off with 3 great trades in the afternoon - £6.90, £7.80, £9.23. So was all going swimmingly had myself concentrated and had the feel of the markets. Then i went and got a drink and i think i got a little bit cocky trying to swing trade. This did not go well! i entered a position and withing moments i was 2 ticks down, my stake was £80 at around odds of 3.8. So they were hefty tick sizes for my bank. However i felt confident so i let it play out a bit *head in hands moment* to cut a long embarrassing story short, i ended up -£21. Basically cancelling all my previous profits. After this point i was peeved to say the least so i stopped trading for a few hours. I tried to get myself back into the right head space. I came back later on for the last few afternoon races. Thankfully i managed to put a few good trades in and come out with a profit of £8.56 for the day, which i was happy to take after the day i had!

I've been interested in videoing what i do in order to learn from my mistakes, managed to download Camstudio software today, yet to try it out but looks pretty good. Might try get a video of my trading up soon. STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO!
Also i found out that you can show your screen to people on skype thanks to my brother, so if anyone has skype please feel free to leave a comment.

That's all for now, got my graduation Tuesday. Off into the big bad world!
