I wonder Tightfisted if you would have been posting your first table if you had just had two more losing weeks at the end of Sept.?
That was a close shave ?
Just delaying the inevitable ?
I sure hope not.

Fine, the first table doesn't have a bank, what would you risk for 900+ points profit after 6 months? 200? 2000? Mischief

Ok, I've added another 1000 to the bank...

Sorry missed that in your first table.
But looking again, probably would need a bank of 1000 points to do it.
That is the max drawdown would appear to have been about 500 points from end of July to mid Sept, and so I would like to have at least twice that ( if not more) to feel comfortable.

Still an excellent ROC though I must say.

I do like ambition.
Let's hope for your loved ones' sakes, that it's not bust.
What a bummer that would be at Christmas.
By:
Tightfisted When: 21 Oct 10 22:31
Make that 10,000, not 100,000! The tipster says he's no mug, but he's not that good. Devil
By:
FINE AS FROG HAIR When: 21 Oct 10 22:55
You mean these are external tips?
Not your own " secret" system ?
How disappointing, if so.
By:
Tightfisted When: 21 Oct 10 23:52
The first system is mine, the second gleaned from this very forum and is being back-tested using the tipster's past and present naps. I'm currently working on the data by increasing the stake by different percentages after a loser (chasing). Silly

What BOTTLE...........................................??????

Tightfisted ...you are being a wee bit "personal" stating my "bottle" has gone.............

I believe I am STILL ahead of YOU in comp for year champion.......even after going through a period where I have not really cared much about the comp....as I reached the top this year ....HAVE YOU???

We will see who has the ability to be top at end of year .....I'd BET on you WON'T.....

The truse good napsters on her are stirred up ...and there are so many that CAN be CHAMPION.........and I never really considered you as a potential one................

Trevh, which cumulative total would you choose

To be honest I don't like the look of either, as the current profit is at a peak (due to a good month after 5 level ones) which I would expect to turn down as did the other 5 months. But good luck with it, and yes if I had to choose I would always choose the route of least volatility. One method I use of reducing volatility that suits one of my strategies is to green up at evens, the long term results are the same but the losing spells are halved.

Sorry, DFC, I didn't explain very well, I should have said that when anyone has a bad day, it takes a lot of bottle to keep doing the write ups at the end of the day or even filling in the results in the computer.  I was too quick in replying to Trevh. Now I shall read the rest of your angry reply. Shocked

Was a very readable thread till Tightfisted and DFC entered
the arena and raped it. What a shame.

I don't think the words rape and tightfisted sound too good in juxtaposition, do you ?.
