The Equipment to be used.

As you can expect (for a family man with young children), I don't have state of the art equipment. I can't afford luxury PCs, not that I would know what to do with them anyway.

The set up is as follows:

1. Location - Kids Playroom/wife's craft room/Dad's games room
2. PC - iQon with Windows XP and an Intel Celeron 2.66Ghz with 480MB of RAM
3. Trading software - Gruss Software Bet Assistant.
4. Internet Connection - BT Ireland - Broadband and Talk pack - up to 3Gb ???
5. TV - Sky TV with Sky Sports, At the Races and Racing UK.
6. Microsoft Excel to record my Trading Log. - (Not suitable for viewing by younger readers as it contains words only old people use!)

Expected Time to Trade:

I expect to trade between 8 - 10.30pm most days during the week. I will also try to get some weekend trading in to boost the numbers.

As you may know, some days are more liquid than others so with that in mind, I my start and stop.

Also with a full time job and family, there may be days that I am just not up to it. Then again, this is a true life attempt to trade to a bank 10 times the starting bank.

Tomorrow it is due to begin, so hopefully my next post will be results and comments.
