I was beginning to think the worst of this service until we got a 9/1 winner yesterday. It’s an odd one because he is tipping odds on selections that are losing and some nice priced selections that are winning. Of course we still need more winners like this to make it profitable so it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out. There are certain things going on in the background too which I shall expand on in my review of this service.

Wednesdays bets:

Act of Diplomacy Kempton    8:20 LOST -£50
Hippolytus Newcastle        4:20 LOST -£50
Rochefort Kempton           8:50 LOST -£50
Cryptonite Diamond Brighton 5:00 WON 9/1 +£450

The Ultimate FX Predictor

Regarding Tuesdays no trade, just to remind you my trading times are 7am-11am and then 1pm-3pm if I haven’t already made a good profit in the morning. So pretty much the default except I go an extra hour in the mornings. This was by accident as I always thought these were the recommended trading times.

Anyway, one of our readers, Norman, e-mailed on Tuesday to say there was a qualifying trade at 11.35 using my settings which netted a 15 pip profit using the trailing stop (although he closed early taking 25 pips). So well done Norman. I don’t know how well my settings perform outside of the normal trading times so if anyone else is using my settings at different times I would be grateful if you could let me know how profitable (or not) they are so that I can let readers know.

On to yesterday and there were no trades in the morning but a lengthy trade in the afternoon netting me 29 pips. At one point I had almost double that and in retrospect I wished I had closed the trade earlier. As you know I just let the trailing stop always determine the exit point of a trade but I’m begining to wonder if it might be more profitable long term to take the profit when it goes over a certain point… say 50 pips. Of course, the drawback to this would be that I would miss the really big trades where I can get 100+ pips but I will have to go back over all my trades in the last three months and work out which is more profitable overall.

The Cambridge System

The Cambridge System Summary

I think it is time to finish the trial. I know we havent done a full 30 days, but even if we did, and the next few days were amazing (which I doubt), it is unlikely that we could claw our way back. To get our bank back to what we started with would require a profit of 26 points, and looking at the performance in the summary below makes it highly unlikely.

To summarise then, here are the result: -

Winning Days

There were 9 winning days out of the 24.

Losing Days

There were 15 losing days out of the 24.

Our bank looks like this: -

Starting Bank: £1,000.00

Total Bank at the end of trial: £ 222.50

The system claims very high profits, and initially, we were achieving good results. However, like so many other systems around, those results just didnt continue. I checked the selections against the authors selections from his web site, to see if the results were similar to that which they were recording. In my opinion, the selections were questionable in several instances, and they claim a profit for races that in my reading of the system would not have been selections.

I have looked over the system criteria several times to make sure that I am covering the system both accurately and fairly. Particularly when the loosing runs came in heavily.

The strategy of the system is logical, although using the Sun newspaper for the forecast ratings is probably not the best way to go, and I imagine that results would probably be better if the racing post were used instead.

All in all though, I cannot recommend this system. I know that there has been a lot of excitement over this publication, but when a month almost wipes out your bank, it becomes just too much of a risk, even if it has a good track history.

Thanks for following me with this trial, and I look forward to the next one

Regards

Chris

The Cambridge System

Day 24 – (Tuesday 6th August)

Today I looked at one meeting – Catterick.

Another loosing day. I must say though, we nearly had a winning day. There were two horses in two separate races that fell in to the selection criteria. I was just about to place the bet when the selections started to drift when they were at the post. The system says to ignore the horse if it starts to drift. These two did turn out to be winners, but as we werent on them, it doesnt count.

Profit Target: 2.0 Points

3:00 @ Catterick:     Pairumani Pat     odds 3.75     Lost     Profit/ Loss: -£15.00

3:00 @ Catterick:     Miss Havisham   odds 9.00      Lost     Profit/ Loss: -£15.00

Starting Bank: £1,000.00

Bank Brought Forward: £ 252.50

Total Profit/ Loss for the day: – £ 30.00 (-1.00 points)

Total Bank: £ 222.50
