Firstly Caan, let me say that you're making superb and very informative videos here and I'd like to extend my gratitude to you in that respect because you're giving me an ever-increasing confidence and enthusiasm to embark on a new career...As a complete newbie to all this (I haven't even made my first trade yet!) I'm eager to glean every bit of information I can from you as I watch 2 or 3 of your vids each day. What really impresses me is your level-headedness and logical approach to trading and, above all, your willingness to share with others how to do it. Having said that, of course you can only make so many videos without eventually repeating yourself and what you said at the end here about 'knocking it on the head' with regards making more videos makes complete sense in that respect. As in another video when someone asked you, "there's a lot to learn, isn't there?", well there is I guess, but you seem to have done a bloody good job of having already covered many of the angles involved in price trading with regards horse racing. So of course, yes, I'll be sorry if you stop making more excellent vids, but obviously I and others who follow you will understand if you do....One little golden nugget of info though which you mention in another vid that has helped me massively with regards my in-play footie betting is when you warned against 'over-trading', or, in my case, over-betting. The importance of being patient and waiting for the best bet to come along with regards value/maximal likelihood-of-success cannot be overstated and holding back until the right opportunity comes along before striking an in-play bet is helping me win on a much more consistent basis. Cheers Caan....best wishes, mate.
Hi Caan. I find your videos provide honest answers to the questions put to you. Helpful is a subjective term. Some people want to learn to trade and just want the instructions on "what" to do. Others, like me, also like to know more around the subject matter to learn the "how" and "why". Ultimately you don't have to give up your time to make these videos, and the fact you do is great - please Keep up the good work you do for newbies like me who are trying to find their way - we appreciate things like this alot 👍
It's a great tip to study the racecard in advance and be selective. No point in betting on each and every race , domestic and international , and ending up a busy fool
Find all, if not, the large majority of your videos very useful Caan. Am new to trading. Did the Mike Cruickshank thing for a while and did just fine with Matched Betting, Accumulator Generator and the like. After getting 'gubbed' by some bookies and learning the ropes of it all, I quickly realised trading was for me. Your videos have been of great help and I am trying to watch one or two a day. Nice 1 my man.
Just trying to educate myself on this type of betting . I'm used to just putting some cash on a horse every other weekend. This is interesting , ill have to read up some more. Appreciated video , thanks.
Great video Caan, less is more. Still trading nearly every race. I’ve tried pre-race and IP. Just started to get my head around it. Yeh there’s more money IP but that’s just gambling! Cheers Si.
the best markets are the ones you’re most comfortable with but that comes with experience, take today for example, I would imagine that Caan had a very good day today I think I’m right in saying he’s more of a scalper, for me.. someone who prefers swing trading nothing really came off, annoying really but part of the game I guess
Caan, I can say that i listen to nearly everything you say, also i have subscribed to all your books the video packs even the last one through Amazon as i always get some little pearl somewhere. As to whether the Q& A's are useful .. i think it goes without saying thanks mate.. Was it useful ?? Yes in different ways than you possibly meant. I am trading nearly full time and although i still use smallish stakes, i don't think listening to someone that has his heart and soul into trying to show how to achieve something is wrong . In fact mate quite the opposite like when you say you are banging on about something , You really make sense. I am using someone else software but i will be trying Geeks toys out . I just don't like the price blanked out by my stakes as i like to see the price . One of the main things you have taught me is to judge every situation as it is presented, and adjust my thinking accordingly. Mate thanks heaps from down-under in Australia.. I also always bet at the U.K. races and sometimes the Australian market . I am trying to look at other sports and events as it is becoming easier to read changes in different markets. Again mate thanks Shane
All your videos are quite useful, would love to see a few more videos of you in action making your choices and the reasoning behind it and how you react to the changing markets a kind of day at work blog ...hopefully ending with a tasty profit :)
Very helpful Caan. Your video pack is absolutely awesome by the way, ever time I watch each section I learn something new. The fact that you are constantly adding new videos to it and improving the site shows that your priority is to help people and not just take their money. Good for you mate!
Incredibly useful, I need to do an end of season audit review of all my trades / arbes to see were my niches really lie. Being involved in too many markets across different sports doesn't help getting a real sense of your strengths! I really should know better at my age! But trading is about daily long term improvements! Question for YOU....Why did you start trading Horse racing opposed to other sports, as the racing markets are actually one of the most difficult markets to master trading on betfair from a novice position? best regards from Dublin!
These videos are most definitely useful, especially to people like me who are new and learning. Thanks for the content Caan. Bought your training packs a couple of weeks ago and nearly finished them now. Do you think it is best to use betdaq to begin with? As I'd only be using small stakes and the commission is lower.
i concentrate solely on 5-6furlong sprints, i b2l and vice versa on horses under or over priced and then lay horses within 2 furlongs being run if i notice a horse isnt adopting its normal optimum running tactics
Hi Caan, yes it was useful, I have your video trading guide about half way through, I seem to be struggling to get out when I can see that a trade is going the wrong way on swing trading. Have you ever struggled with this? I was thinking about using stop loss for 2/3 ticks ( I know you don’t use). This may help my success trades stand me in a profit by the end of the day rather than a loss.
Sorry. I am not Caan but I trade using tops and bottoms in the market..i.e where you can see most of the money on a horse has traded in a range between say 3.4 and 2.8 then if the price moves outside that range either back it or lay it accordingly. If I get it wrong I use a 3 tick stop loss to get me out for a minimal loss. The point is though that you need a REASON for thinking a price will continue to move one way or the other, in my example if the price goes from 3.2 to 2.9 that does not represent a 'trend' because the price is still trading within the established range and could easily reverse. It needs to 'breakout' as they say in financial markets in order to have a chance of being meaningful....apologies if this is a bit rambling!
Not bad mate but definitely more interesting/insiteful videos! If you could possibly do a vid focusing on why one might leave out a race or only trade certain races that would benefit in sure
Very useful. I subscribe to you and always watch your videos. Always benefit from your points and appreciate the no nonsense advice. From a/your business point of view they also build our confidence in you so lead to us buying your video packs (money well spent for me!). And the more people who trade, the more money in markets and hopefully more people supporting matchbook or betdaq so win-win! Don't judge your videos by thumbs up either cuz everyone (including me) forgets to leave them by the end of the vid
Very useful as it adds more and different thought to trading markets, and reacts of markets in festival betting. I traded a few pre race races and cashed out 3 to 5 percent gauranteed. Could easily have made higher amounts but as a novice to pre race trading what is is minimum one should cash out.. jus to let you know i did wisely and in somecases prematurely cashed out at a 5% loss.... but overall im ahead. My target is £20 perday if reached as it usually is 19 out 20 times. Im happy and out. £600 a month.
Hi Caan, i'm just going over your q&a's again after laying off trading for some time, trying to take on board your advise but how do i tell if there is a discrepancy between liquidity rising but not the number of people, it may have an obvious answer mate but i can't get my head around it , its still early days for me, really like your info thanks
@@CaanBerryProTrader Hi Caan, busy time for you now cheltenham week so thanks for getting back to me. just around 2 mins in you say there may be opportunities if there is a discrepancy between a big increase in market turnover but not a big increase in the number of people trading it. on reflection, does this mean the turnover is rising rapidly but looking at the graphs this is mainly in large individual chunks of money? on the bf graph this would be single spikes i presume but this only updates every 5 s. i can set more fancy graphs but as a newbie sometimes this can distract from concentrating on the ladder. perhaps what you describe is a bit down the line for me at present and just look at the basics but i appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Really useful Caan. I enjoy the Q&A's and find them insightful. The increased activity of them over the last couple of months has been appreciated! I'm an Advanced pack subscriber but still find these useful. Subject matter for these is endless. I would be particularly interested in your thoughts on 'Market Noise' can you trade it? When is it Market Noise or when is it genuinely time to get out for a loss etc
Yes I found this useful because hitherto to this video I haven't concentrated or specialised on one type of race eg. say a 5 or 6 furlong length flat race or on races regarding 2 yr olds with reference to trainers and at what part of a month a trainer has his 2 yr olds fully tuned up for racing which I know occurs with regularity every year. Perhaps knowledge of this type you could provide where particular trainers are profitable in certain months for the last 5 yrs would be worth taking into account or do you do that anyway Cann. I love your videos by the way. Thank you for your insights.👏👏👏
I am a raw beginner, and although you are obviously very knowledgeable about this whole BF trading, I must admit that I did not understand what you were trying to explain. I think maybe you should realise that many of the people who watch these vids do not understand many of the concepts that you take for granted and perhaps you could take it a little slower and keep it simpler. Anyway thanks for the vids.
Caan, you often mention keep a record of your trades, what specifically to you take note of? I have recently started to write down certain data ie price of fav, 2nd fav etc, traded within price range also what these horses were trading at 5- 3 minutes 3-2 and last minute, also form good bad or neutral, front, held up or mid division runner, would be very interested to hearm cheers.
Anouther good video caan .im getting the feeling that swing trading is for me as i keep getting into trouble trying to scalp hcps that are uncompeitive .wrong trading style on wrong mkt

Good work Caan.... your clips are always thought provoking and informative
Very useful as always caan im a big fan of the Q and A format really helps when you are learning to trade
always useful, even if its been mentioned before it still helps cement things. So much to learn you forget a lot, so it helps refresh.
Really interesting video thanks Caan, made me re-think things a bit.
Just trying to educate myself on this type of betting . I'm used to just putting some cash on a horse every other weekend. This is interesting , ill have to read up some more. Appreciated video , thanks.

Good advice. thankyou

Very useful mate... You got me into Betfair trading after matched betting has dried up!
Incredibly useful, I need to do an end of season audit review of all my trades / arbes to see were my niches really lie.

Question for YOU....Why did you start trading Horse racing opposed to other sports, as the racing markets are actually one of the most difficult markets to master trading on betfair from a novice position?
best regards from Dublin!
Great caan. Do you also trade horses in different countries (I.e. US, Sweden)?i find the liquidity low in some and tend to avoid.
Always enjoy your videos ...... Please don't knock them on the head
Thank you Caan. I found this video most useful.
These videos are most definitely useful, especially to people like me who are new and learning. Thanks for the content Caan. Bought your training packs a couple of weeks ago and nearly finished them now. Do you think it is best to use betdaq to begin with? As I'd only be using small stakes and the commission is lower.
the most important point you make is make more money out of fewer trades and most newbies do think they can trade every race
i concentrate solely on 5-6furlong sprints, i b2l and vice versa on horses under or over priced and then lay horses within 2 furlongs being run if i notice a horse isnt adopting its normal optimum running tactics
Thank you so much for sharing your time and wisdom you are an inspiration to us mere mortals
