Motivating comeback

Hi Guys,

quite a good start after the long break for me back in trading, although most of the profits came from a single football game in Champions League, Bayern Munich vs Fiorentina.

I rarely trade on football as I do not feel very comfortable but in this case I had an idea from the very beginning on what to do about this game which prooved both right and after a red card to Fiorentina very lucky as well.

I had a back bet on Bayern at 1.48 and greened out for around 38% profit after the 1-0 scored by Robben. Was sitting back quite a while until the equalizer and placed an over 2.5 bet immediately after that as this scenario is the typical "1 more to come" in my opinion - as Bayern was in desperate need of a second winner goal and I was a 100% sure about them playing much more offensive which might open counter chances for the guests and this also prooved right.

After the red card for the Italians the price for both the over 2.5 market same as 1x2 market crushed on Bayern Munichs favour and I greened out the 2.5 market and decided to put the whole profit on the hosts which was in the end a little lucky scoring that late but I just feeled like doing a very good ( risk free ) bet in that case.

Tennis is going quite ok as well, I made some mistakes as I was not concentraded enough during the games. This reminds me how important it is to really keep focused when trading and thinking like " oh I can watch some tv during trading or similiar ". Such mistakes I have almost never made before this break so I guess I have to get some more time to get into trading a 100% again but I am quite positive about getting that worked.

Today I will do some of the WTA Dubai matches and of course the Memphis ATP tournament with some matches providing good positions from the start in my eyes. I will update later on and start to write an article about some trading strategies for Tennis I am using regularly.

Sorry for the Break

Hi guys,

I have not posted for quite a while and this was due to reason I have had an car accident around middle of january which brought me for being unable to trade for around 2 weeks as being in hospital and being injury struggled doesn't affect your ability to trade well.

As an additional boost, I have experienced big family problems during the very beginning of February and therefore decided to take out some 2 weeks to solve up the things and get a clear head again.

After all this trouble, I will try to start the blog again and being more up to date with my posts of course. Unfortunately I must let you know that I will stop the 10k Challenge as I need much more time for private things at the moment. I will keep the blog updated as often as possible and also included different screenshots and profit / loss reports but I simply do not have the time to update the graphs regularly and write as in detail as I did.

I hope all my readers understand this and who knows maybe I will come up with a completely new challenge with some bigger aims in around 1-2 months - until then, I will keep to blog as updated as I can.
