If you keep good records, you can monitor and improve your performance and that alone is worth its weight in gold. On top of that, if you actively monitor performance and see a decline, you have the means to address that.<\/p>\n

Late last year I noticed that my strike rate seemed to be in a slight downtrend. This trend continued so there was obviously something ‘wrong’ with the market or my ability to participate in it.
