With the nice weather I also decided to take some time out this week to enjoy the late sun. I think it&#8217;s time for a break soon as feeling off colour has left me a bit tired and I have lost focus on a couple of times recently and missed some really good opportunities or not done them at all. Time to re-focus on a couple of achievable goals and pay attention a bit more.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the lack of focus has come from not trying to chase down last years totals. It&#8217;s impossible for me to grow double my activity at the drop of the hat, which has been a requirement since 18th July, so I&#8217;ve stopped trying and taken a more leisurely approach. Not looking at last years results has meant I have missed a few opportunities. One I wont miss is this weekend. It&#8217;s a busy weekend ahead and I will be putting in a bigger effort this weekend as a result. It&#8217;s one of few weekends when I will definitely be trading on Sunday when I give the Prix de l&#8217;arc de triomphe a go.<\/p>\n<p>That aside, it&#8217;s time to get some focus back into things! But only after I have re-charged my batteries a bit.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 306px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" \" src=\"https:\/\/fastmac.com\/images\/apparel\/fully_charged2_494.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"251\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">My next objective<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_4489\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"4489\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=betangel\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been feeling a bit off colour this week, so have slowed down a bit.
