You must have got around the liquidity problem, those markets are near impossible to read (for me) until they are at the wire.

On another point, Adam, has revealed that he operates on .25% POT but his volume is enormous.

Quote:
But by doing a turnover of over GBP50 Million worth of bets during that time using a trading bank of only GBP3000 I made that quarter of a percent worth having. A quarter of a percent of GBP50 million is over GBP100,000 profit without ever having a losing week and at one point going 11 months without a losing day. And I was only able to do such a large volume of bets because by taking such small profits and doing lots of scratch trades and getting out of all positions quickly I was free to churn my bank over and over again.


His best piece of advice:
Quote:
If you can’t get out of your trade with an instant small profit then you should get out immediately at the same price that you got in at, a Scratch trade. If you can make a single tick profit on 30% of your trades and break even on the rest of your trades you will make money by getting it right less than half of the time on an up or down chance.


However, in not one of the 120 demo videos we see is he confronted by the jumping market against him. When it goes against him he only breaks even or loses one to two ticks.

A common scenario, is that suddenly and without warning, the market price jumps dramatically and he would have lost one whole unit, or more, before he could react.

Last night for example, the market price suddenly went from trading around $3.50, $3.60 to $6.80, $7.00 in an instant without any market indications and from that point never fell below $5.80.

He does not address when this happens, and it happens quite regularly, and in high volume markets.
