One tennis trade

Today was little time for trading. I only was involved in one tennis match (Seppi - Koubek) which was very dificult to trade in its beginning.

At first I was red -6€ which I leveled up to even afterwards. Then again I was red -6€ but could turn that loss into a +7€ win. With some more green on the other side I played around to enlarge the profit as shown below:

All in all: a plus of +4.51% out of a single tennis match.

Keeping cool and not resorting to panic? I like it. Strange question: what percentage of your bank do you use on a single trade?

Just curious - I've been swinging between amounts, not sure I have found the perfect balance yet. Larger amounts on a lesser number of ticks vs. smaller amounts over a larger number of ticks. Each has their pros and cons.

Well I use the former one. The risk depends.

As I used smaller amounts I felt that my nerves were not that strong... the getting out too early! If you can not sit tight on your entry position it is hard work... I think! But as I have talked to Matt on punt.com my small amounts were not small enough so that I was not able to let the trade take its' own way.

With bigger amounts you have the negtive aspect that your calls do not get matched at a certain level (not for me yet!).
