As I have previously stated, my strike has gone up quite a bit recently. One practical upshot of this is that I just set a new record for consecutive winning trades!<\/p>\n
When I sit down to trade the first race of the day today I will have successfully traded the previous 70 races without a single loss. My previous best was set back in October 2007 at 66. I hope that I can push the forward again today but it will be a challenge. I need to be careful not to let that run stop me from taking some risk, as you need to take risk to get reward. The tendency when you are on a run like this is to protect it and I really shouldn’t try to do that or else I will miss opportunities.<\/p>\n
To get a record also requires a bit of luck, you still need things to swing your way now and again. On at least a couple of occasions yesterday I was deep underwater on some races, but managed to pull things around to end up profitable again. On another day that may have been very different, I obviously just got out of bed on the right side yesterday.<\/p>\n
I’m pleased as punch to get this great run as it justifies the effort I put in during the middle of the year to get myself to the next stage.
