It can’t tell you the morale of the players, the strikers lack of form, the ball carriers desire to get into dangerous positions, how compact the defence is, yet some people insist on trading using just that image and the in-play dots on a screen. As a complete newbie I joined a community that was far worse than BTC and the mentors seemed far dodgier, as you already know it's near impossible to tell sharks from plankton as a newcomer. I think this is a conversation for another time but I definitely find a lot of people react negatively if I share how much I’ve made or my results over a day/week/month. I can tell from that image that they can't be trading in the way they say as the statement indicates a certain strategy given the numbers.

I agree that the French Division 2 webinar was a fascinating insight and would like more of that type of thing!It gave me a ginormous real world red flag of what happens if you don’t respect the strategy, your balance and the markets themselves, even if you are on the run of a lifetime. One question many readers often ask is when and how do you actually withdraw from your profits and pay yourself?

Then I made one switch which changed everything, it’ll sound absolutely pathetic to anyone reading this – but – I made a spreadsheet.
