Dunk of the year? / tip


Huge play!

February is coming and unfortunatelly i will be one year older (23). More responsability. I am saying this because my tip today is about responsability/discipline. How strong are your decisions? For example when you say, "today im not going to eat bad food" do you respect your decision or just get bored after some minutes and start to eat bad food again? A good way to start to get some discipline is to practise the power of your decisions and dont let any bad thought make your decision more weak. After some time you will get a huge control of your behaviour.

Trading tips

Hello guys, good day today so far, and today i would like to motivate you to try new sports. One of the best things that i can recommend you is to try all the markets and see what works for you. I just traded tennis on the first year and it was a very bad decision. The moment i tried new markets i had a lot of good ideas. Try everything!
The other tip is about choosing the match that is more predictable to you. I was talking to one trader the other day and he was asking me why i was not going to trade a tennis match at some moment and i said, i will not trade because there is a very predictable nba match with decent liquidity, so more predictable = better, at least for my trading style. Whats your opinion? Comments are welcome ;P

Horses results today, nba and tennis coming later. Good trades

Reading a match: Example of intuition on tennis with short term unlucky/ Guidance packages



Match:
Barthel vs Kerber

There was a possible injury for kerber so her start price was 1.86. I dont like to put money on players with " possible injuries", so i was just looking at opportunities to enter in Barthel. Barthel started very well and made the break and continued to play very well and i got a price around 1.8 in her. She was dominating and kerber was not very interested and very slow. GSlam coming ;P ?  Conclusion : Barthel won 6.0 the first set and her price was at 1.16. I was near 55 % and was not going to risk it for 16 ticks with no value. When there is a 6.0 there is always the chance of retirement but kerber did not retire and she started the second set very well and solid, so i backed her with my 54 %. Kerber broke and held and i got out for near 100 %.
Kerber was holding but it was easy to notice that barthel was not very consistent at that moment but if she get the previous level she would break back probably. Intuition working. Barthel, with a break behind holds the game very well and looks like she found some consistency again. I backed her here and got out at 40.15 and she recovered to deuce and broke!! Unlucky!! I would be in +150% green but ended with 75 %.
Conclusion: i risked 20-25 % risking the profit in good opportunities with the probability in my side in my opinion.

Tips:
In a dangerous match like this with a possible injury trade from second set with profits only and avoid third set.
Avoid entering in an "injured" player and look for ops on the other player.

The traders that emailed me for guidance packages and i said that we can start in the middle of this month, can start emailing me again if you are interested to start planning your journey. I will just guide three students max because it requires a lot of effort.

Tennis trading session (case study) / Trading tip / Students





Hello traders, Yesterday i was trading Ebden vs Baghdatis. Baghadatis looked very fat and and ebden looked very consistent on the first games. We all said that Bag price was very low @ +-1.44 (cant remeber the price) but because we are in the beginning of the season, its better to wait some games to see players' performance. Wait for a good entry. Ebden broke and he had one game left to complete the set.  We are all +- with 30% and i decided to stay and the students asked me why i would do that? Why to risk 30 % thinking in the second set? Well, in my opinion it was a good trading opportunity to stay for the second set and see player's performance because like i said Bag looked out of form and fat and Ebden was with great stats. I told my students to leave the match because they look for more consistent profits since they are learning and i was a bit more agressive. Conclusion: Ebden let Bag have 3 bps on the last game with 100% and 75 % stats and then Ebden saved them all and hold for the set. I got out at break point for a very small red. Conclusion: Frustration ? No, in the long term i will be in profit because i was looking for a profit of +100% and in my opinion the probability was on my side considering the indicators. It's not a question of greed, it's just watching very good opportunities considering the indicators. Bag went to win the match but had to work a lot and it was not easy.
So some things you can try to develop:

- Follow your intuition but only when you have very good chances, not simple chances. Dont follow it many times while learning. Be careful risking money in this trading style, because you can get frustrated losing money, if so you have to work on that and take more consistent profits and risk less.
- Be agressive with greens and play safe with reds.
- Check stats.
- Dont get frustrated with short term unlucky.
- Leave unpredictable matches.

----------------------------

Trading tip

If you already have a very good day, trade with lower stakes. You will be tired in the end of the day and your focus will not be the same so its better to lower stakes if you already have a great day and you if dont feel 100 % but want to continue trading (trading after work for example).
