As i'm only updating the blog on the 10th of June i'll just summarize these past 10 days. I' ve been trading a lot more in play in june, i would say my profits are somewhere around 85%/15% between in play and pre race, i can't remember these past days exactly so i can't really say much about it, however i do remember the 2nd  day of the month where i did get a huge red in play, no excuses about it, i just did a very bad trade and was dumb enough to let it run hoping it would still go in my favor, this little mind block costed me -244€, i did however took it in the chin and didn't try to recover the loss in anyway so i got that going for me which is nice.
Rest of the days went pretty well, nothing worth noting, i just keep trading the same way, it does get pretty boring sometimes...

This month has started very well, hope it continues this way.



11/06 to 20/06 -> +369,82€




I had an awfull day on the 11th of June, got caught in play on a huge red entirely based on greed, i tend to screw up from time to time, but this one was over the top, it was over 450€, i did good however on not chasing that red as i continued trading pretty much the same way throughout the day, and by the end of the day when i had almost half that big loss recovered BAM, almost 200€ down the drain, this time it was not my fault, my internet went down in the middle of a race and yeah you figured out the rest... What i find funny about this is in the few years i have been trading horses this (internet going down during races)  has happened to me a few times already, and as i'm such a lucky guy this wasn't the first or second time where i've lost reasonable amounts of money because of this, i always say to myself  that i'm going to get an alternative internet and laptop/tablet or whatever to have ready for when this happens again and until this day i never did... Yeah i'm not a very smart man, although i do think is just laziness... Well by the end of the day i was frustrated but i think i did a pretty good job not letting this day got on my nerves and affect my trading on the following days.

The rest of the days went ok, i'm still trading a lot more in play this month.

Despite that awfull day, the challenge is still looking good, hope i can achieve my goals.
