Total = 9.4 points

29 selections, 23 traded 6 didn't trade, strike rate 79.3%. ROI 16.2%

If you didn't trade & just punted the selections then 7 of them actually won. If you had punted £1 on each of them then you would be showing a profit of +12.4 points and a huge 42% ROI.

If this trend continues then perhaps we should look to punt rather than trade. However I like the positive validation the comes from being able to achieve a high strike rate on trades. If we didn't have the 2 reversals today then the trading figures would be outstanding but that's the nature of the game. We also ended July with 2 losses after a positive month and there is nothing like a loss to refocus the mind. It's certainly better to have them at the end of a profitable month rather than at the beginning of a new one when we wipe the slate clean.
