This week’s live stream is tonight at midnight. I prefer to get up early and trade from around 4 am but that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s just after 9 and I have come back to my desk. If I sit watching TV, I’ll just go to sleep. If I’m actually doing something, I don’t feel tired. At least, not until I stop!

The Australian Open has gone quite smoothly. The automated gathering of some of the info for the Trading Tips email really saves time. It also helps that the slams seem to prefer starting on a Sunday now so the first round matches are spread over 3 days instead of the usual 2. Researching 128 matches over 2 days was pretty brutal.

What’s going on with the weather? Surely we are breaking records for the amount of rain. Everywhere you go is covered in mud. Trying to keep the dogs out of it during walks is a losing battle. It’s bad enough in the back garden. I’ll have to put a couple of bags over my trainers when I go to pick up the dog shit from the gravel. Even if you’re really careful it’s hard to totally avoid stepping in it.

The test of the betting picks is showing promise. 49 picks so far and a ROI of 22%. I’m quite happy with that as the first couple of weeks of a season can be tough to predict. Lets see how the selection process works over a couple of months. There is a link to the test page in the footer of this page.

Not really much else to tell you. I’m sure there will be more drama as the season progresses. I’ll go and catch up on what complete bollocks Trump has spouted today. I’m not really interested in politics and wouldn’t know at least half of the UK Cabinet yet I recognise most of the USA administration. I’m amazed there has not been an assassination attempt on Trump. Obviously, I don’t include the fake one where he magically grew back his ear after it was half blown off.

Catch you later.
