It’s not just about the big stuff

As Ascot fades into the distance you could be forgiven for waiting for the next big meeting, but it’s a fact that big meetings are the icing on the cake on the racing calendar,  rather than the meat and potatoes.

Around 75% of racing doesn’t not fall in the ‘quality’ category so in fact a lot of the time a professional trader is simply trying to get something out of the market from whatever is around at that moment. In

Profits and (losses)

Profits and (losses)

Last week I got a few comments about P&L’s I’d posted up; this is quite common.
