Hanging up my trading boots

It is with great regret that I have decided to stop trading on betfair, the horse racing markets which I run my triggers on through the day have no money to trade what so ever anymore, my trigger which use to fire 40-50 times an hour only fires once an hour if I am lucky,its not worth turning my computer on, what ever betfair have done to loose their customers they have done a great job, the rumours are they are trying to sell the exchange as they have absolutely no interest in it anymore. 

What's the reason your tigger don't fire? Too small spread or no liquidity or volatility or what?

Why not create a new trigger and stop being a victim, I mean if you had a trigger that worked for years and made great profit you should have the knowledge to analyse the situation and find a workaround!

No liquidity, been trying to create a new trigger but no success yet

Do you wanna help?

Hi Coling

Sorry things have stopped working for you, and you're obviously very despondent at the moment. Maybe just take a step back and give it a rest for a short period and then come back again with a fresh mind. There's more than one way to skin a cat, and maybe what you've done in the horse markets could be applied to other ones with just a few tweaks?

It seems silly that all your experience and what you've learnt goes to waste, and keeping going even in test mode trying new variations might yield a whole new approach.

Whatever you decide, good luck.
