Every now and again in the racing market an individual arrives that doesn’t make much sense. From a trading perspective at least!<\/p>\n

The come into the market and back a selection for a large amount of money, then back again and again and again! I’m not sure the oft quoted description of ‘mad bomber’ is accurate, maybe there is a better description. But what is certain is the impact they have on the market. You could view this as a negative, but if you know the way they work then it’s a big positive.<\/p>\n

If somebody is backing in large amounts repeatedly then you should seek a speculative open order on the back side first. If you are on another selection then you need to lay first. It could also be possible to catch a bounce when the price gets backed in heavily, but you never know how aggressive this individual is going to be, so I prefer catching the top.<\/p>\n

Why they are doing it is another discussion<\/a> altogether!<\/p>\n
