Thanks guys. I'm not sure this will be compulsive viewing though going by today's effort with 3 meetings being available to me and with plenty of races where the volume or movement not really developing and then, if any, only with about 40 seconds to go. It's hard to trade in a stagnate market.

I'll try to answer your questions LG but some are a bit hard for me to answer.

1. What makes this particular angle on punting the best possible match for you, your own personal style and preferences etc ? I ask this because I have observed you searching for a 'grail' of a kind in other aspects, seemingly without much success (although I could be wrong).

Totally not sure why I can make money trading. It took a lot of practice and even still sometimes it doesn't pan out on a particular day but I just can't make money actually punting any other way. My automated grail crusade still takes up a lot of my thoughts. Every time I think I've found something the punting gods shoot my bots down including today with my bot suffering heavy losses.

2. Is this actually 'punting', or are you demonstrating the skills and attributes required for trading a market.. any market?

You are right that it is not strictly punting although I reckon the skills developed trading on BF do not translate into any other markets external to BF that I have tried. This includes other BF markets which are just not fast moving enough or UK horse racing which is too fast and which my software refresh rate lags behind usually leaving me exposed.
