last days update/new experiences/new pdfs/free time section



Hello guys,

more than on week since the last post and that's because i have a lot of work lately with live classes and i'm doing new things to/with the students but i like it a lot : ). In this month im not going to the gym a lot of times because i prefer to run with friends at night. I went to the beach with my friends sometimes and was a very good time. Played a tennis doubles match one week ago and i need to practise more because i lost 6.2 6.2 ahah. Now, i cant complain with the players when they miss easy shots saying that i would not miss it. I missed a lot of easy shots ahah. In these last days i reviewed some losses, and this month i had more than the normal and it was explained with players motivation. One of my qualities as a trader is in identifying a good long term position in tennis and other sports, and my strategies are based in that a lot but in these last days after reviewing some losses, i think it was impossible to have long term positions in players during a match so far in this month, because most of players are not giving 100%. So i changed my style a bit for this month and now im doing matches with live pics but doing short term trades with lesser risk and bigger stakes (500€-1k). In this month i tried to do trading in football matches that had at least one team that i know very very well and i got some good results and i think i will start to take a closer look to football trading until i see that tennis players are more consistent. In tennis, at the moment im not looking for big profits in one match, instead, i am looking for doing more matches with small %. I think its the ideal style for these months when players are more inconsistent. There are some good ops in backing some players from start if you know the players very well. Other thing that i would like to say is that you have to very careful with big favorites losing the first set. There are a lot of them leaving the matches with "injuries" in the second set. So be careful if you back one of those favorites in the second set.

I know that my training classes are  expensive to some people but i made some articles about a lot of topics, like money management, strategies to relax, some of my strategies to winners market and that material is gonna be available for readers that donate at least 50€ to the blog. I think that it may help some people and give other ideas, or ways to improve their trading. I am going to do more value trades this month to improve it. For people doing this, that are some good patterns to exit the trade this month if you look careful. If you want more info on this just comment the post or send me an email.

Movie that i want to see:

real madrid / last days update... / free time section



Hello, how are trades going?

Real madrid is back and last night there was a lot of value with prices around 1.35 for a team that was dominating. Im not very good reading football matches but in this case it was very easy to notice that real was going to dominate the match and they did. The final score was 4.1 and Ronaldo scored a very good goal.



And by the way, the new real madrid's shirt is very nice.

In the last days i have been working a lot with my students and that's why im not updating this more times cause i'm 100% with the students. Got some good matches and some bad matches with them but the most important thing is that some of them are already thinking in a different way and looking at small things that they would not notice and taking advantage of it. Some of them are making a consistent profit already and that makes me happy.
I watched Harry Potter movie in the theater some days ago and it was a really nice movie although the final scene("after 19 years") was a bit weak. 
Don't forget that hard work is a big part of the successful trading equation. Ronaldo is one example that hard work pays off. Today for example, I arrived at my city house at 3 am after going out to party near my beach house, did Real madrid's match till 5 am and wake up at 11 am for the first match of the day. If you are organized you have time for everything. What do i win by doing this? I continue learning, i end some days with four digits and i do what i love to do and thats not a problem to me ;P

Bad things about internet...

Hello today i took the day to go to the beach and since last night i was in my beach house without internet. Today after the beach i am back to my city house and went to my email to check the news from my students and check if they need some help and there was one mail from one of my students saying that i wrote this in the ts chatroom:


"
I think I decide it to quit trading live any betfair markets . I see more often that the p/l ballance is somewhere in the middle . What I got ? I lose my time and get stress. So my time trading usual tennis based on players may be close to an end . So I will switch on speculating price overreaction on BP, between sets, etc. 
I'am sure TS does that alot ... that is why he is so little active while we kill our brains here one chat . He does the real thing ..while we prepare the money for them.. 
TS , I think you can tell as precislly if tennis trading can really give as profit by any means . long term for a living ofcourse.not one or two days but for months/years . I think whatever the discipline is this is impossible if we are based on players stats , attitude on court. The only way in my opinion is scalping the market as a result of price overreac
I can see trading for a living only by choosing very carefully 1,2 entry points/match or none , the rest is scalping overreactions.
"
First of all let me say that i wasnt the guy using my nickname in the ts chatroom today. What was i doing? I 
was in the beach all the afternoon with my girlfirend while someone with a lot of free time was using my 
nickname. Its sad but its true. Situations like these require strict rules. No more chatrooms for me from 
now on. 
And by the way this phrase was funny:
"I'am sure TS does that alot ... that is why he is so little active while we kill our brains here one chat . He does the real thing ..while we prepare the money for them.. "
Ts does the real thing? Ts worked very hard for the level he achieved and he really does what he gives you in his guide that i recommend and its not an unreal strategy like this guy thinks. Much respect here for his work that helped me in my journey.

There is always something to learn / tennis patterns pdf / free time section




Hello traders,

today was a different day for me. I was up with more then 0,5k for the day in profits and lost it all one match. Did you forget you rules richard? nop. Benesova "left" the match with an "injury". The story is this:
Benesova lost the first set cause was making a lot of unforced errors and in the second set she was one break  behind and had medical time. She looked like she could not walk but she did it and broke back and was playing 100 %  and she held her serv. 5 seconds later she lefts the match with an injury. Ridiculous. I know the position was my responsability but that was ridiculous from Benesova. In my opinion she wasnt injured. Its curious that other girl that played today and that is from her country, lost too and was a big big favourite.
Its a bit frustrating to lose all the profit in situations like these so take a break for the day like i did when something like this happens. Lesson learned. She is in my blacklist now xD.

from Benesova twitter:
This tweet wasnt for this match but i guess we can draw a profile.

Tennis tips/Trading classes/Free time




Hello,

congratulations to Nole and Kvitova for the win in Wimbledon.

This week there are a lot of matches to trade but be careful cause the quality of the matches can be very poor so my tips for this week are:
- Dont trust too much in players for long term positions.
- Its better to stay with a player that is not favourite but is playing 100 % then a player that is favourite but is only playing 50 % (safarova match against Dolonts for example)
- Value trading can be apllied very successfully in these days cause the tournments have less reputation and favs tend to relax more in the second set.
- "Adapt your trading to the courts you are trading". This is essencial. Its normal to struggle when you are used to one kind of trading in some type of courts and then move to another type. You must look at the markets, see how they move for that court type and get the best conclusions to adapt your strategies.

Recommended read from TS's forum for Campbells Hall of Fame Tennis Championships tradings:

 very nice post about that courts by Delboy
