There were three selections identified for today but with two selections being affected by the cancellation of their meeting, and the other being declared as a non-runner, we ended with yet another blank day.

There were no trades yesterday but 1 pip profit today. Hurrah. I’d like to thank readers Phil and Donald for pointing out that there is a new version of tufxp available for download in the members area which has a very useful new feature. Basically there is a new box to tick in the PTP setup screen which enables a low-volume filter that gets rid of many false trades. So it won’t display any PTP’s if the trading volume is low. Had I used this filter on Monday I would not have got those losing trades and so I think from now on I will have this box ticked. It may mean less trades but if that means less losing trades then it can only be more profitable over the long term.

Today I had a confirmed long trade that actually got stopped out on Tufxp but not on my trade because of my 3 pip buffer but it did stop me out properly around 20 minutes later, probably due to the medium impact news realeased at that time. It would have been a good trade to scalp for 20 pips or so but I don’t do scalping.

With racing abandoned at York yesertday, we had to rely on Brighton for any afternoon bets. Unfortunately nothing met the system criteria so the bank remained unchanged.

On Sunday there were three qualifying selections and all of them went on to win their respective races.  I’m pleased to say that not all the selections were lays.

RESULTS - Sunday 17-08-08

Four the Win Version 1

No selections

Four the Win version 2

Losing selection: £10 @ 1.71 -  -£7.10 - LOSS

Losing selection: £20 @ 2.00 -  -£20 - LOSS

Back the Win

Unfortunately, the abandonment at York scuppered the two selections that were lined up for today.

Good news on the Selector. James had apparantly been away over the weekend and processed any refund requests today. He does need your Racing Post username to be able to do this. This is certainly encouraging.
