Trading for a living

[SharpeShooter]

There's the crux of trading Alan, you've missed the entry point for the trade (through no fault of your own). Had you got on Schumi early you could now be back out for a profit.

Trading is about knowing when and being brave

Ive slapped £20 on webber at 17s for a bit of fun coz i like F1. If red bull are really good again this season, which i think they will be, then im hoping his odds drop to around 10s for a trade out. Same car as vettel and finished 3rd last year, surly this is what trading is all about, easy money

[Alan]

just read your post. Yep should of took big price before last practice session. As vettels says we will all know roughly the pecking order for the season after first qual in melborne.

Disaster
Red bull look like they have had their wings clipped and webber price gone out to 20s now. Apparently webbers Kers wasnt working but we will see race day if thats the case. I cant see it and Mclaren look like they are going to be the team to beat all season.
Really annoyed at myself for not getting on shc and the merc team, dam aussie times.They wont be far off this season and may even pip red bull for 2nd. Sch at 18s now
Ferrari look screwed for first half of season but might be worth a punt at a big price just before they bring in their new upgrades, because im sure they will improve after that.
Romain Grosjean was unreal, could of got 600s for him, now down to around 70s . But no way anyone saw that coming.
Rosberg at 26s for the race winner looks a good price. Made a mistake last lap in qual but sch showed that the car is up to it. Really fancy Ros to get past both red bulls. The merc car is faster in the straights and red bull dont look like they have the advantage of better cornering speed like last year, plus sch is in front of the red bull, which can only help Rosberg.
As for Lotus, well i doubt they will keep that pace up and both the red bulls and the mercs will finish ahead of them. So im thinking of trading out if and when Ros get past red bulls and the lotus.
Only prob is i have to get up at 6am on a sunday to trade Rosberg price out
It all sounds good but ive already proved its not with taking webber price at 17s

Well maybe webber didnt have kers in qual after all. He and vettel ran a really good race and red bulls are definatly going to be in a tussle with maclaren, BUT maclaren look to have the edge. Glad jenson won instead of that spoilt brat hamlton anyway.
Webbers price into the 20s now, which i find strange considering his poor qual was what pushed his price up, and yet the race proved he is well in top 4 and at times was the fastest man on the track. I suspect his price will fall throughout today.
Im sure he will grab a few podiums and im happy with my 17 now i know he has a decent car and im sure he will come in to around 10s at some point in the season.
Rosberg was really poor, glad i didnt back him now. He had a really good start but struggled after that. Sch was unlucky and it would of been interesting to see if webber could of caught him (i think he would of). Sch price now about 28s but rosberg race pace was poor and really couldnt access schs full race pace because he didnt finish. 28 tempting but i feel 40s was the price to get and the boats gone now
Alonso was a surprise and i suspect he will have a say in the top 4 finish even with this car.

Interesting stuff Alan thanks for your thoughts

[Alan]

Webber price back down to 20 now after him having 2 good races and another should see him back to 17 surely His price dosnt seem to move that much compared to the others for some reason. Sch gone to 60s now I backed him at 30s just before qualifing
He has been really unlucky up to now but he will get podiums im sure, i mean i hope
No chance of getting a big back price for alonso now due to his great win, hes already at 11s. Tempting to lay him at 11.5 but its china next and every chance of rain, which of course he is great in. Plus they got 3 weeks to work on the car so alonso is a real wild card for the next race and maybe the season.
Having said all that my first trade in F1 (and in fact ever) is overall a disaster
