Lucky error


Mondays are design one to feel bad and to start wish Friday to come quicker. I generally don't feel comfortable waking up very early and from there on I look miserable the rest of the day. But comes Friday eve and I am happy chappy at least for the rest two days.

Today I made 6 trades which resulted in just over 12% back on my stake or £106. I was 'lucky' enough to miss trade the last trade and traded on the opposite site. It was on the Porto game I was trading on unders then when I saw my mistake and watched the game develops I decided to leave the position open and was praying for a goal to come soon. It came soon enough and I traded out for an unexpected big profit. Actually I tried to cut my losses but I was not matched and made a lucky escape after the goal.

Because


I have made 20 trades today with 18 in the green and 2 in the red which resulted in just above 14% on my stake or £110. I was over cautious today but still I could not see the own goal which happened in a Dutch game. I had to act and cut my loses, despite of that horror error I could have a brill day and almost 50% more profit but a green day is a green day never the less.

I have seen couple of guys in the blog space trying to predict games from the start using the same stake so I may consider to have a look into it,just need to do some more research on it.

Man City needs a world class defender to go to the next level.

I have made 23 trades today, as usual as there were plenty of games to choose from. Made just above 16% back on my stake or £106 which I am happy with. I was very conservative in my approach as Mr Buffet's word are echoing in my ears all the time. From 4 trades made nothing but better safe than sorry. I am still very much in the red for this month ( 1274 )

Life is such a flower which needs to be watered constantly. My father is in hospital with a heart problem from yesterday, hope he gets better soon. Funny enough I had some problems with my left side, my heart seems to be hearting from yesterday and did not really play squash today because of that.Live today because there may not be tomorrow, saying that what do I mean live? We all live in our own ways and try to get the best of it as we can. God bless.

Roo


So Mr money grab disloyal Rooney achieved what he wanted - more cash but there you go if there are enough crazy people to give him such crazy amounts they should be ashamed as well. I bet now all the fans will turn up on his back as he is not performing at all this season.Today football is becoming uncontrollable and very soon there will be more and more clubs collapsing as this is not a real business and the rich owners involved in this sport will realize this is a black hole.

I made only 3 trades today as there were not much opportunities anywhere and I keep reminding myself Mr Buffet's quote never 'lose you money'. Around 2,5% on my stake in the green or £16.

Crazy Copa Sudamericana


I took a half day off today as an engineer was coming to install my satellite dish...Not! He said he never done such a big dish as my one is around 80cm and he recommended another engineer who din not know either! I could not believe that, never mind now I am waiting an answer from 3 different companies to see are they going to install my dish.

There were not many games today, so I made 5 trades in total, as the last one was mad. the first three trades were in good spirit and I was thinking to head for the bed. However I made a last one on the copa Sudamericana game where I made 4% green on my stake alone on this trade, then became greedy and was severely punished. Then I put all my remaining balance on overs and got lucky but trading wise I am a crab trader recently and only Lady luck has saved me as she has been on my shoulder quite a few times. After my greedy trade where I lost 34% of my stake, the professional thing had to be to stop trading and call it a night, but no I am not professional at all. I am not able to accept a loss and start chasing like a true looser. That way of doing things will finish in disaster very soon.

Anyway I made just above 73% on my stake or £268 but I am kidding myself big time.

Blue

I have made 4 trades tonight which resulted in just above 6% back on my stake or £20. My laptop is playing and is crying for a new one....there is one more trade to add so the total for tonight is 7,50% on my stake or £25. It is very hard to trade without the proper equipment, hopefully tomorrow I will have installed a satellite dish so i can watch more live games.

Value=Maurinio

I love Jose for his brilliance and aggressive self believe. Everywhere he goes he seems to bring success and togetherness and loyalty.I used to back him all the time when he was at Chelsea and he is usually predictable for trading too.

Rooney( or more rightly his agent) is not right to leave as in today's crazy football market there will be enough opportunities to cash up.  We need just to look back and remember that whoever left Man Utd has not excelled.It was only a few months ago when he was saying that  he will stay at Man Utd for life.Not impressed but there you go...... hope Man City sign him to see the abuse he will get for life from all British supporters.Not intelligent boy...not at all.

Tonight there were 3 trades only which brought back just above 5% on my stake or £17. I was so itching to trade but keep reminding myself the Buffet principle to never lose your money/stake.

Never lose money

I am reading a book about Warren Buffet - the most successful investor in history in my opinion. I loved the book and the one thing which really stuck in my mind as I finished the book was what Buffet said in the end to make sure to 'Never lose money'. I kind of translate this to my way of trading which is spot on! When trading make sure you do not lose your stake, and as more I think about it the more incredible seems to me not to be able to stick to this rule.When I enter a trade I make sure to win something even a small amount and sometimes I get involved in such a ridiculous trades and feel very frustrated after I do not win anything.And there it is, I realise something now which I have known for many years but never had the power to stick to.

Tonight I made 5 trades which resulted in just above 8% green on my stake or £24. There were all right trades and I wish for more days like this one.

Crazy weekend



I had a crazy weekend, for a start on a Friday I made an error and ended up with a bad start but ended the day with a small profit. Then came Saturday which started very good, was around 25% profit on my stake when a bad trade wiped out most of my stake.Went for the big bang on Barca game which I should not do but recovered some of my loses and ended the day with around 20% loss on my stake. Felt really bad as I made more than 20 trades and had nothing to shop up for it. Anyway Sunday started positively but again a greedy trade ended badly...so frustrating as I could avoided it but was waiting for more green....there you go I went for the kill in Lion game for overs and luckily recovered with a tiny green. So for the last three days I ended with up with around £50 profit but was lucky and feel not positive for my future trading.

Money


Only 2 trades today which resulted in just above 9% on my stake or around £12.I am confused right now as I am running on a big loss this month which wiped out all my profits from the last two months.I will carry on and hope to see some good days ahead. There will be no trading tomorrow as there are not many games.

I was watching the Apprentice this evening and have to say this girls look hot if not anything else :)

No Joy!


Today I did trade only two games as I had a game of squash. I lost my stake in the second one, well it happens, recently I make one step forward and two steps backwards.I was very angry indeed with the loss but nothing I could do about it. I went out and went food shopping and when I thought about it I did everything as I should do. The most important thing was that I did not chase, just accept i.tDays like this will appear I just need to follow my strategy and keep cool.Loss for the day £153.I have a nightmare month and tomorrow is 13th my 'favourite' number...not!

Planets


First day at work after the weekend and guess what, I did not enjoy it at all.I have made 5 trades which resulted with just over 10% on my stake or £16. Still running in big red for this month -£1659.Tomorrow I have a squash game and will miss most of the games, but hope to catch up with some late games.

Weekends


Today I have made 7 trades as there was not much action on the footy front. Made a profit from them about £20 and my total loss for the month is currently just above £1,700 which I will not cover by the end of the year if all goes well. Now I devoted to withdrawal every day if I have made a profit.

As I mention before the last week was manic. Almost everything I touched when in the red and my mistake was that I chased my losses thats why I ended where I am now. And I should know better! Then another error which I made is not withdrawing on a regular basis.

Downturn


I had a few very bad days which almost wiped me out. It is a kind of a curse when I start a challenge and all goes into tatters. So the challenge £3,000 is over and now I will try to recoup my losses for this month, so will be glad to recoup some of them if any at all. The last two months were so good which made me dream a bit too much so now I am back to reality again :( and no more stupid challenges in future for me.

Challenge £3,000 - Day 3


Today I have made 14 trades which brought back just over 42% back on my stake or £245 - one of my best days for a very long time. I am still minus 9% of my crazy target of £3,000 for this month!

On trade number 13 the internet connection miraculously broke down I was not able to return to action in the next 10 minutes which drove me absolutely mad. Yes it is my own fault that I am still not technically prepared to such situations as they will occur now and again, however my point is that I hate number 13 with passion.It defo brings me bad luck. As I mentioned, yesterday I had a feeling something bad will happen and that was due to the fact that I kept seeing number 13 everywhere. And I was right, the bad thing happened. Today how on earth to explain that my connection broke down exactly on trade number 13!!! Yes I was lucky enough to escape a serious damage (in fact I won) but I shortened my life with a couple of months due to this number which I hate so much!Maybe I go mad but I still hate that number.

Sundays


Today I woke up with the determination to trade after yesterdays horrors show.I went for breakfast in the morning to a friends house and because of that did not trade the first games in the morning.I have been very busy recently because I work during the week and after that I tend to trade in the evenings and weekends which leaves me with no spare time at all.I love trading so I am not complaining, however I am dreading to go to work my normal job tomorrow as simply it does not give me the same pleasure.

I felt very calm yesterday after the big loss which I made (over £600) which got me thinking that this is unusual for me. Probably it is because I have believe in myself and I am able to control my actions more.I am still very chaotic and the target which I set to myself for this month seems ridiculous now.If I trade every day I will have to do £97 a day to be able to reach such a target, saying that I am in the red so it will be even more difficult. But there you go I love to challenge myself!

I had a feeling!


Today I had a feeling that something bad will happen while I am trading...and it did. With one of my first trades and i was in the red. I stayed calm and around evening time I was in the green which made me very happy. And then the final hour came where I lost my entire stake due to stupidity. I lost a chunk of it firstly and then started chasing....why? The annoying part is that I knew I do the wrong thing and despite that I went ahead and lost and the rest of my stake! It happens so often when I start a challenge and all ends in tatters. So day 2 and I am already minus 17% of the £3,000 aim. I will try at least to finish the month in the green.

Pretty women


What is all about pretty women? We (men) all go mad about them and do so silly things just to get their attention ( me for sure). I just cant handle women at all, and the prettier is the woman the more difficult is to handle her! Crazy stuff....anyway
On the trading front I made 6 trades which resulted in around £89 in the green. I would do some experiment this month to see can I reach the £3,000 mark. I will not chase it at all, just want to see how it will go and what percentage if any I would manage to do.I will use stakes between 100 and 500 depends what I can afford.So today on the first day I am currently 3% into my aim, so 97% more with 30 days to go!
