Jack Birkhead's "Sports Trading Journey"

Hi Mark. I'm currently in the process of moving from being an IR player to more of a pre-race trader. The course has certainly helped me in various ways. It's given me a really good insight on the different ways in which the markets can be traded, not just scalping, along with the key indicators that cause prices to move in and out. I have tried to dabble in the pre-race markets over the years, but to be honest I've never really understood how the markets move, and more often than not I do my cash. Personally this course hasd really helped me to analyze the markets more quickly and I definitely feel more in control when I'm trading, as opposed to my previous haphazard approach. I'm still only playing for relatively small stakes at the moment, as you still have to put in the hours trading as many races as possible to get really consistent, but I'm well pleased with my progress. I've also signed-up for his weekly webinar, and once again this has been really helpful.

I've read 'The Daily Trading Coach' which is a great book that deals mainly with the psychology of trading, and apparently 'Trading in the Zone' by Mark Douglas is recommended.

Hope this helps - Dave.

Hi Dave,

Yeah that's great to hear, thanks for your thoughts. It's good to hear that the course has given you a much better understanding on why and how the markets move and also how to trade them, I definitely feel this would benefit me greatly.

I'll def check those books out as well. Cheers

Wonder which one is Jack and which one is his Mrs?

Let me see if I have this correctly,progambler.
You are moving from an area (In Running) where you can see the reasons for any fluctuations to Pre Race Trading where you are effectively "having a stab"?

Probably operates/operated out of a trading shop and the advantage/edge has gone so hence the change to pre race. Could be wrong but i doubt it.

Buzzer,
If you cannot make it pay In Running,you are a million against getting pre race trades right.

Pictures are too far behind nowadays in shops so he's probably going to give pre race a go rather than travel to the tracks.

Yep, I'm Jack and so is my wife!

... and yes I do operate from an exchange shop. However, I'm looking to move to the coast and would therefore like the option of either playing in-running off BF live video and RUK and/or having a stab at the pre-race game.

Cheers - Dave.

Shameless begging is alive and well

having read the first 2-3 posts from mark and pro , i laughed to myself . it was like reading someone talking to themselves .

i agree with saddo

It is truly heartening that such  philanthropists  as Pro and his "friend" continue to try and help fellow Forumites !

aye 2 dormant accounts spring into life, however you only have to read the forum to realise why he thinks he can take the p1ss

agree with fawwon, begging.

It's refreshing to know that the usual 'sharp minds' are still frequenting this forum!

Cheers - Dave.

Too sharp for you,pro,evidently.

Interesting reading the last 4 very useful views!!

All I was after is some confirmation as to whether this course was any good and if it was worth parting with a decent amount of money to get a greater understanding on this type of trading!

Thought some fellow forum members may have bought it and could get their views, nothing more than that cheers star & saddo!

Ooops another clumsy attempt at spamming :)

Sounds like a great course.........a short one I would guess.

1.Reasons why markets fluctuate pre-race.........erm weight of money?

Thank you all for attending.

You must have a sharp mind and a crystal ball progambler............playing IR off BF LIVE video...........yep........as sharp as TSD and Paddy P IR.

WOM eh? ... I'll give that a crack tomorrow and see how I go (that comment really did make me smile). I'll wait for someone to put up a big lump and then I'll jump in front of it ... should do the trick.

... and if you can't make money IR off the BF live video and RUK then you'd better give up and find another profession.

Cheers - Dave.

I can make plenty of money off BF live video,laying mugs like you.hth

A very clumsy attempt gents, and quickly exposed. Shameful stuff.

Birkhead eh?
