http://www.trilogics.com.au http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Jitbit RSS Feed Creator Fri, 27 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +1000 ...3 out of 4 ain't bad. Actually the 70s rocker who "broke out" in the Rocky Horror Picture Show sang "2 out of 3 ain't bad", but who's counting. Well, from what we hear there was an entire stadium full of people counting the minutes until Meat Loaf got off the stage at last year's AFL Grand Final but we're getting off track. The point is, TriLogics owners trading last Saturday the 28th of April, could have had 3 wins out of 4 qualifying Trifectas for a total of $1,000+...and by anybody's standards that ain't bad. The first qualifying Trifecta of the day (SR01) jumped at about 12:25pm. SR01 was a Standard Trifecta, and it falls into the good news/bad news category: although it wouldn't have provided owners with a positive outcome it was the only negative outcome out of the first four qualifying Trifectas. So it's not a great start, but it gets a lot better. The next qualifying race, AR01, jumped just 10 minutes later at 12:35pm. As with the race mentioned above, this was a Standard Trifecta race. TriLogics owners would have noticed that the 4th Favourite, runner #1, attracted some reasonable money in the last update. Notwithstanding that, if you followed the guidelines you should have selected to red Money Gaps of 50%, 70% and 90% and you could have recovered most of your losses from the first race with a profit of $340 on this race. PR02 was the next qualifying race and although it was a Standard Trifecta you should have remembered your "inclusion" of runner #8 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place on this race due to the amount of money #8 was attracting at the 1-minute update. This would have created 48 combinations, well within our trading guidelines. Note that this inclusion would have marginally reduced your profit, but including that runner is prudent trading and it will serve you well in the long run. Besides, even with that inclusion you still could have made $522 on the race. Finally, what hopefully was your 3rd winner in a row would have been SR02 qualifying as a Megafecta at 1:04pm. Our guidelines recommend standing out runner #5 for 1st place and covering 92.5% for 2nd and 3rd place, including all relevant money. Profit on this one when trading to the guidelines could have been $579 So, that's a little over $1,000 in less than 45 minutes. Once again, (tipping our hat to "The Bat out of Hell" as Meat Loaf is sometimes referred to), an outcome like that sure ain't bad. And if you throw in the $200 you could have won from Percentage Return for the day...well, last Saturday was down-right good.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlThu, 03 May 2012 13:20:16 +1000 There has been a lot going on lately with the Autumn Racing Carnival: the Doncaster Mile and the Australian Oaks last weekend and Black Caviar going for 20 wins in a row this coming weekend in Adelaide. But the most exciting news for TriLogics owners might be the way TriLogics Percentage Return (PR) module went last Saturday the 21st of April. TriLogics owners using the full potential of the PR module could have scored 4 positive outcomes between 11:45am and 1:30pm and met a daily target of $500 with that module alone. TriLogics Trifecta was strong too, but we'll focus on PR for now. When we refer to using the full potential of the PR module, we're talking about having the confidence to use it to trade for or against the Favourite. The 4 races that could have allowed you to meet your daily target on the 21st were BR01 trading with the Favourite; BR02 against the Favourite; SR03 with the Favourite; and BR03 with the Favourite. For owners trading according to our website guidelines, the respective winnings on those races could have been $115, $193, $74 and $134, for a total of $516 using the PR module in a little over 2 hours of trading. Important Note: To get the absolute most out of TriLogics software, we strongly recommend that you become comfortable recognizing the right circumstances to trade with or against the Favourite. TriLogics owners could have also met their daily target with the Trifecta module after race BR04. For these owners, they could have completed trading before the Doncaster and the Australian Oaks began. For owners who wanted to venture a bit outside our recommended guidelines the Australian Oaks (SR05) could have also provided additional profit. The race was outside our guidelines because Streama (runner #1) had a 1.40 Win Dividend (WD) and our lower limit for a Banker Trifecta is 1.50. Still, for owners who stood out #1 and took the next 4 runners for 2nd and 3rd place they could have had a modest profit of $146 on a $400 trade. Even though it was a winner, we certainly didn't include it in our daily web site total and we wouldn't recommend TriLogics owners trade this race. Speaking of races with a very low WD for the favourite, Saturday the 28th will see Black Caviar starting with a Win Dividend of 1.04. Reports are that hundreds of thousands of punters who want to be part of history will be backing Black Caviar with small bets. For TriLogics owners, early indications are that it might be a trading race..for owners who want to stray far outside the guidelines with such a low Win Dividend. If conditions hold, Black Caviar will be the only runner to back for 1st place and there will only be 3 other runners with a realistic chance to place. Again, we want to stress that trading this race will be far outside recommended guidelines, but it's a race to consider if you want to be part of history.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlThu, 26 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +1000 Most of the time we use this space to analyse races and provide tips to help TriLogics owners trade more profitably. Instead of looking at races today, we'd like to take a few minutes to give TriLogics owners a few "tech tips" which will also help you get the most out of your TriLogics software and training system. Quick Fix Our tech department gets quite a few phone calls and emails from TriLogics owners who say they're having trouble getting TriLogics up and running on their computers for the day. Usually, the call or email starts like this, "It was running fine yesterday, but today I can't get TriLogics up and running." 9 times out of 10 this problem is fixed by a simple reboot of the system. Basically what that means is you need to close or quit the TriLogics program, as well as shut down or restart your computer. If you're operating the most common Windows systems you'll be able to close or restart your computer from the small 4-coloured Microsoft icon at the bottom, left corner of your computer screen. Once your computer is back up an running, restart TriLogics. Bonus note: This same restarting process can also help your computer run faster and with less hiccups. It's amazing how often the "reboot quick fix" will get everything running properly. Review the TriLogics Set Up Manual We know that most people aren't big fans of reading manuals, but you'll be surprised at how many simple tips are in there. Plus, we've done our best to make sure we've put in pictures with arrows and red circles that show you exactly where to click on your computer screen so things go exactly the way they're supposed to. For TriLogics Owners Only Take a few minutes to check out the Members Section of the website on a regular basis. If you've forgotten your password don't worry. We've provided an option so you can get a new one and gain immediate access. Inside the Members Section is where you'll find all the latest updates on the software as well as on training. Speaking of Training If you haven't yet checked out our video training, have a look in the Members Section of the website. These videos are hosted by senior trainer Peter McConville and they're designed to help brand new TriLogics owners starting from scratch, as well as for experienced owners interesting in brushing up their skills. In-Person Training For TriLogics owners who want to get the very most out of the software we are offering In-Person training sessions around Australia and New Zealand. Our first sessions take place in our Gold Coast head office on the 27th and 28th of this month. Toward the end of May, we'll be holding In-Person Training Sessions in Auckland. So, watch your email inbox, your monthly newsletters, and the TriLogics website for an In-Person Training Session coming to a city near you.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 18 Apr 2012 12:46:08 +1000 In financial matters, there are often fancy-sounding, technical terms that describe fairly basic principles. A couple of examples are "negative gearing" and "price to earnings ratio". At TriLogics we don't like to dress things up with too much technical jargon. Instead, we try to keep things as simple as possible. Yesterday's race MR01 (on Tuesday the 10th of April) is a perfect example. For TriLogics owners who had been attentive during training, the 1st race at Wodonga would have been a successful start and, hopefully, finish to your trading day. MR01 was a TriLogics Banker Trifecta standing out the favourite (runner #5) which had a Win Dividend of 1.6. TriLogics owners would have had 2 choices for making the rest of their selections. Both cases were pretty straight forward; one is just a little more aggressive than the other. Let's take a closer look. In the first and more aggressive selection scenario owners could selected down to runner #7 for 2nd and 3rd place, stopping at a red Money Gap of 1.6. That would have provided 12 Trifecta combos. Note that by stopping at runner #7 for 2nd and 3rd place we would have covered all of the similar money invested to that point. (There was clearly less money on the bottom four runners, which would justify leaving them out of your selections.) TriLogics owners following this process could have seen a profit of $1,275 when trading according to TriLogics website amounts. The second selection option may have suited less adventurous TriLogics owners, but could have still yielded an excellent profit. With this option you could have covered 90% of the money invested in the race by selecting down to the #7 runner for 2nd place. Then, for your 3rd place selections, you could have taken the rest of the field (runner #s 1,8,6,4). This would have given owners 28 Trifecta combos, which is still well below the maximum of 42, and it still could have yielded a profit of $815. Now, let's take a look at the money in the Prize Pool and see if that affects your selection process. You should remember from your training that in Standard and Banker Trifectas the prize pool must be at least $4,000 at the 1-minute mark. To qualify as a Megafecta, we would need a prize pool of at least $7,000 at the 1-minute mark. In this race, the prize pool was $4,700 at the 1-minute mark-enough to qualify as a Banker. But to expand your knowledge, we recommend taking a look at the size of the prize pool when the race actually jumps. At that point we see that it is more that $7,700. We don't need that info to trade this race, but this gives us an idea of how prize pools increase in the final minute. That's a good bit of info to add to your trading tool box. Whichever selection option you had taken for MR01, this race should have helped you to achieve your daily target and it should have been your first and last trading race of the day...all before 1pm. Now that's a nice way to ease back into the week after a long Easter weekend. We're not sure what sort of terminology they'd use for that sort of thing in high level financial discussions, but the technical term TriLogics uses for a situation like this is, "You Beauty!"http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 11 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +1000 Unbeaten Black Caviar's half brother, All Too Hard, is also unbeaten. Hmmm, records like that in the same family hardly seem fair. Unfortunately All Too Hard will not be able to try to extend his winning streak in the $3.5 Million Golden Slipper this Saturday the 7th of April. All Too Hard, owned by Nathan Tinkler and trained by John Hawke, will be rested after easily winning the Pago Pago Stakes last Saturday at Rosehill. Speaking of last Saturday, if TriLogics owners had taken a look at that race (SR02) they would have seen that All Too Hard, the #1 runner, was the clear favourite with a Win Dividend of 1.2 and a red Money Gap of 6. Those are the kind of numbers his half sister Black Caviar would be proud of, too! Getting back to the Golden Slipper, with All Too Hard out of the race Samaready is the early 6-to-4 favourite at $2.50 on the fixed price odds. If All Too Hard were in the race, he would have likely been a strong second favourite. Nonetheless, Samaready's lead up to "The Slipper" has been exceptional. So exceptional, in fact, that the likes of No Looking Back and Dreifontein, both trained by Gai Waterhouse and the 1st and 2nd place finishers under controversial circumstances in the Magic Millions, are now sitting at $9.50 and $14.00 behind Samaready. Unfortunately, the 18 runner field in "The Slipper" will preclude it from being a qualifying race for TriLogics owners. Even though there are several days before the race is run, it's extremely unlikely that 2 horses will be scratched helping it to become a qualifying race. The other big race at Rosehill on Saturday will be the $2.25 Million BMW Stakes with the likes of Americain, Manighar, Drunken Sailor, and Southern Speed setting up in the 10 horse field. Will it be a repeat of this year's Australian Cup where Manighar and Southern Speed went down to the wire ahead of Americain? Will it qualify as a trading race with TriLogics? It's possible. In early markets, Americain is an even-money favourite for the BMW Stakes. As previously mentioned, with an expected field of 10 runners, it could very well qualify as a Megafecta trading race. Also, with 2 runners (Hawk Island and Fiumicino) at 50 to 1 those runners would likely be excluded based on their long Win Dividends. So looking ahead, one possible scenario would be to stand out Americain for 1stplace, and take the next 7 for 2nd and 3rd place making 42 trifetas, which would fall within our guidelines for qualification. Of course at this point that's just speculation. As race time approaches, keep an eye on TriLogics to see what happens with the money in the final minutes before the race jumps. In the meantime, we'll look forward to this Saturday and several more exciting Saturdays coming up in April.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 04 Apr 2012 12:54:50 +1000 Dear Client, We are aware that most of you would have received an email from TAB Sportsbet regarding the change from their current Live Odds Web Service to the new Rapid Bet Web Services.

Even for winter racing in Australia and New Zealand, you have to admit that's pretty cold. Now, let's really have some fun and look at a race course with a surface of ice covered with packed snow. Sound cool? Well, no matter how it sounds, it looks gorgeous. If you hadn't guessed, we're talking about the annual White Turf Classic horse race that takes place every year in St Moritz, Switzerland. Of course, this race will never show up as a TriLogics trading race (for many, many reasons!) but you should take a moment and look at some spectacular pictures of this truly amazing race. The race's website has some great shots as well as plenty of info on the race's background. Also, TriLogics has located a professional photographer's blog that has great pictures of the event, too. The Melbourne Cup, the Kentucky Derby, Royal Ascot...these are 3 of the biggest races in the world. The White Turf Classic is nowhere near as popular or as well known as these grand old races, but what it does have in common with them is that the races are accompanied by lots of festivities. When you take an unusual race like the White Turf Classic and run it in one of the winter glamour capitals of the world, well, it shows up on the radar of the rich and famous. While St Moritz has held two winter Olympics and is a fine winter sports destination, it's the celebrities and the powerful people that really puts this resort on the map. For people in the high-roller league, why not go to a horse racing carnival out on a frozen lake at the edge of town in the middle of winter? Even if it doesn't sound pleasant to the average person, it makes for some great pictures, and people have been enjoying this spectacle for over 100 years. St Moritz has been holding this race annually since 1907. Reports say that each year approximately 30,000 - 35,000 people attend the White Turf Classic and the other races that make up the winter racing festival. In addition to the racing, there's the "wow factor" of being out in the snow, surrounded by the Alps. Like other big races, the event features more than horse racing. Jet setters also have access to fine dining, beautiful people wearing the latest fashions, art exhibitions, and...well probably anything else they want...all laid out across the frozen lake. But let's get back to the horse racing: the main even is the 2000m thoroughbred White Turf Classic. But there's plenty more, too. There are harness-type races where the horses pull small sleighs. And one of the most exciting and dangerous races is called skijoring. Like the sleigh racing, or harness racing, the horses have no riders in skijoring. Instead, the racers are pulled behind the horses on skis at around 60 kilometres per hour. Not surprisingly, going around the corners is the most dangerous part of skijoring. There has been at least one year when not a single "skier" has made it across the finish line. It's especially dangerous for the leader when there are a bunch of thundering hooves right behind you. Speaking of thundering hooves, just because the race is on ice and snow doesn't mean it's quiet. In fact, the rumbling and shaking that you may have experienced trackside at a regular horse race is equally jarring at the White Turf Classic. It must be a little bit nerve wracking to feel that sort of vibration when you're standing out on a frozen lake. By all reports the ice has never broken, but it's probably best to enjoy the photos and leave the race to the jet setters. This link will take you to some of the best pictures. Enjoy!http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 28 Mar 2012 10:30:17 +1000 In case you don't remember, the name of Humphrey Bogart's saloon in the movie Casablanca is Rick's Café Americain. As it happens, Americain is also the name of one of the top runners from the Australian Cup last Saturday. Americain lost, but that doesn't stop TriLogics from following this favourite on the software to learn a thing or two. We also thought it would be interesting to track the money changes as time goes by. Oh no! Another Casablanca reference! As it turns out, when you track the money on the Australian Cup with TriLogics you'll see that there are both "drifters" and "steamers" or "shorteners", even though it doesn't qualify as a trading race. If you're not familiar with those drifter and shortener be sure to read on while TriLogics takes a look at the $1 million Australian Cup at Flemington. In the days leading up to the Australian Cup (last Saturday, March 10th) Lucas Cranch was the favourite. But when Lucas Cranch scratched, Americain became the favourite. That's all well and good, but things really got interesting, even though it wasn't a TriLogics trading race, in the 20 minutes before the race jumped. At twenty minutes out from the scheduled start, runner number one, Americain, had a Win Dividend of $1.90. It was clearly the favourite. Then it's Win Dividend began to increase as race time got closer. It went from $1.90 to $2.00 (at 9 minutes from start), then to $2.10 at 4 minutes and then up to $2.20 at the minute mark. This trend makes runner #1 a "drifter". The market is losing confidence in it, putting less money on it to win, and hence the Win Dividend increases. TriLogics helps you track that. Because runner # 1 is drifting, the money flows somewhere else. The runner it flows to is known as a shortener, because it's odds (or Win Dividend in TriLogics) are shortening from higher to lower. The runner that is attracting the money is runner # 5, Manighar. Let's see what happens. At the twenty minute mark we see that the Win Dividend for runner number five is $10.10. Then, by the nine minute mark it drops to $9.50. Not huge, but clearly the market has changed direction on this runner. The trend keeps going. The Win Dividend goes to $7.00 at 2 minutes; $6.70 at one minute. In fact, number 5 ends up winning...just as the market thought it would. Manighar, #5, is a classic shortener. This same kind of trend is also evident in the total amount of money backing both of those runners. In the last five updates #5 brought in nearly $28k, while #1 only brought in about $14k in the last 5 updates. As we said, this wasn't a trading race but it's still good to understand these trends for future trading.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 14 Mar 2012 14:02:09 +1000 It's been quite a while since we talked about Tuesday trading for TriLogics. But yesterday the 6th of March is such a good day we have to break our silence. According to our TriLogics figures you could have seen a profit of about $1,000 from positive outcomes on 7 out of 8 qualifying races. The 8th race was an interesting case, too. Let's briefly analyse what hopefully was a very good trading day for all TriLogics owners including you. SR01: A standard TriLogics Trifecta race selecting to 58% and a red Money Gap for 1st place and selecting to 91% for 2nd and 3rd place. With a finish order of 6-4-1 you could have started off well. When trading to our website guidelines you could have made $103 MR03: Another Trifecta. This time our guidelines recommend selections down to runner #1 for 80% of the money and a red Money Gap for 1st and 2nd place, 97% and a red Money Gap for 3rd place, while ensuring all runners attracting similar money were covered. When trading to our website guidelines you could have profited $221 bringing your daily total to $324. SR02: There were too many combinations for this race to qualify as a Trifecta. However, it did qualify as a Percentage Return (PR) race with the Favourite, which held 32% of the money. For this race we'd recommend including both runners #10 and #6 with two red Money Separators. You could have profited $63 for a total of $387 on your daily running total. BR07: After a bit of a quiet period in the middle of the day your second Percentage Return win in a row (with the Favourite) could have come if you had followed the recommended selection of taking the top 3 strongest runners in terms of money attracted. Runner #2 was the winner and you could have added profit of $107 to bring you to $494. That's a great run for the day, and some owners may have elected to finish their trading at that point with nearly $500 in their pockets. SR07: If you had continued trading you would have been doubly rewarded on this race that qualified for both PR and Trifecta and produced positive outcomes for both. Gotta love another 2-for-1 outcome! For the Trifecta you should have added a small percentage allowance, but the winning combination of 9-8-6 could have brought you a profit of $272. If you had combined your Trifecta with another PR trade taking the top two favourites, runners #9 and #5, you could have added $105 for a total of $377 for this race. MR09: Another PR qualifying race, this time against the favourite. This race was a little unusual because there were 3 runners that were all attracting more money than the favourite in the last 5 updates. That's practically the definition of a weak favourite, and you want to go against those when the numbers support you. If you had included runner #2 as guidelines recommend you would have added another $144 to bring your daily total to $1,015. BR08: This last qualifying race of the day was a Trifecta. If you had traded it according to our recommended guidelines you would have won the race, but lost $16. That situation doesn't happen very often with TriLogics, but it does happen occasionally. In this case the small loss is unimportant compared to the overall outcome for the day. Although we haven't talked about Tuesday trading very much lately, with results like this we may be featuring Tuesdays more often.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 07 Mar 2012 16:28:31 +1000 Unfortunately the 2-4-1 in the title of today's news item is NOT the winning combo for the upcoming Australian Guineas on March 3rd. In fact, it doesn't even refer to the top 3 finishers in the Blue Diamond Stakes from last Saturday the 25th of February. What it means, and you've probably already guessed it, is that you could have had 2 wins for 1 race last Saturday by using the TriLogics Trifecta module as well as the Percentage Return module on AR01. If that wasn't one (or two!) of your wins last Saturday, you need to keep reading. Also, keep reading if you were looking at the biggest race of the weekend: the million dollar Blue Diamond Stakes. It's no big surprise that the winner was the favourite. But we'll go into the way one TriLogics trainer followed the money on that race. It may provide TriLogics owners with a fresh perspective and help you improve your earnings on future races. On Saturday the 25th of February there was a message from a TriLogics owner who mentioned that he'd won on AR01. Good on ya! We love positive news from TriLogics owners. Too bad the message was a bit short on details, so we don't know whether it came from using Trifecta or Percentage Return or how big the win was. In this case, either module could have provided you with a win if you followed the guidelines. You could have even won with both on the same race. Owners who adhered to the basic Trifecta guidelines for race AR01 could have made a profit of $122 if they were trading at the same level that we post on our website. (Simply select the runners to the red Money Gaps after making sure that 50% of the money was covered for 1st place, 70% for 2nd and 90% for 3rd.) However, owners could have made $213 (almost two times as much) if they had used the third place cut back allowance. We don't have space to go into full details of the third place cut back allowance here, but it is covered in training, so if you don't remember it you'll want to go back over it. In this case, even if you didn't use it you could have made money. In addition, after making a trade in the Trifecta module, owners could have flicked over to the Percentage Return module and traded there, as well. In this module you would have seen that the top two runners were attracting the most money by a wide margin. By selecting those two and trading with our web site guidelines, you could have made an additional $75. Of course, $75 is not a huge amount by itself, but if you combine it with your Trifecta winnings on this same race it's a very nice start to your day. Later that day at 4:30pm, you may have been looking forward to MR07: the $1M Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield. As could have been predicted, the field was too large to qualify as a Trifecta so you probably would have just watched it for the excitement instead of for trading purposes. However, it's possible there were some experienced - and brave - —owners who were willing to trade this race in Percentage Return by only backing the top favourite. Of course, you already know that TriLogics doesn't recommend taking less than two runners for first. In this case, the money backing runner number 10, the favourite Samaready, was far beyond the rest of the field. In fact, over the last 5 updates, runner #10 attracted $61,000+ and the second favourite only attracted $12,500. Again, we don't recommend doing this even though there could have been a profit of well over 100% by only taking #10 in PR. One last note: As we said before we like hearing from TriLogics owners, but please remember to send complete info if you want us to take a look at your trading. One message from last week mentioned a win on PR04 on Saturday and that confused us. One of our TriLogics trainers had a good look at the race and we cannot see how it was a trading race. He dug a little further and found that PH04 might have been the race the owner was referring to. Even that isn't certain because the pool was $5,000 below qualifying level at the 1-minute mark. However, the race was delayed and the pool did get above $20,000 after the scheduled start time, which is why we think that might have been the race the owner was talking about. So if you'd like us to consider your trading, please be sure to include accurate race info. That's doubly important if you want to tell us about the next time you score a 2-4-1 win. http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 29 Feb 2012 11:24:27 +1000 If you hadn't heard the news, Black Caviar won again last Saturday the 18th of February. And once again, the race did not qualify as a TriLogics trading race. Ouch! But if you've been paying attention to our recent news posts, it's possible that this time you joined other TriLogics owners and found a way to capitalise on Black Caviar's success. Not that we're officially recommending that. We're simply sharing what we've heard. More on that shortly. Other than that, Saturday wasn't a great trading day. Overall, we posted 4 negative outcomes out of 7 qualifying Trifectas. However, one owner sent a message about his great results for the day and mentioned BR06. So, in the spirit of the old saying "You're either winning or you're learning" let's see if there are some worthwhile lessons that might help TriLogics owners in the future. For the second year in a row Black Caviar and Hay List finished 1-2 in the Lightning Stakes at Flemington. (It must be frustrating to be the owner of an excellent horse like Hay List while a legendary horse like Black Caviar is in its prime.) Unfortunately for TriLogics owners, Black Caviar's Win Dividend of 1.2 was too low for the race to qualify as a trading race. But, as we've discussed in past weeks, that hasn't stopped some TriLogics owners from taking advantage of the great horse's amazing record. This past Saturday, MR06 was the 1000m Lightning Stakes at Flemington. Black Caviar (#7) was the favourite by a mile, with a red Money Gap of over 5. Hay List (#2), was the second favourite with a red Money Gap of 1.7. So, if you were going to trade on this race- and we want to emphasise that we will not include this as a qualifying race in our web site figures - it would be clear that #7 would be the sole selection for 1st place and #2 would be the sole selection for 2nd place. (Remember, you should always be looking for big Money Gaps and these are the kind of Money Gaps that really stand out.) Moving on to 3rd place selections, the money invested on the next 3 runners (#'s 9, 3, and 4) indicates those were the ones to take for 3rd. At this point you would have covered more than 90% of the money. With these selections, you could have made $813. Fortunately for the public, it looks like Black Caviar will have another race in Australia before heading to the UK for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. Currently, it looks like her last run in Australia will be in Queensland or South Australia. But the larger principle behind this "Black Caviar Lesson" still applies. Look for those huge red Money Gaps for 1st and 2nd place. When you see those, and everything is still clean after making your 3rd place selections, make your trade and be confident. Let's move on to the message from the owner who said he had a great day last Saturday. The only specific race that he mentioned was SR06. According to the figures posted on our web site SR06 had a positive outcome of $609. It sounded like the TriLogics owner made $700. Let's investigate the discrepancy between the figures. For the figures posted on our web site we took the top 3 runners for 1st and 2nd place because they held the bulk of the money (72%). We selected the next five runners (#8,#7,#11,#3, and #5)) for 3rd place, because they clearly formed the group holding secondary money and ended on a red Money Gap. Those selections would have returned $609. So, where did our owner's extra $100 of profit come from? It seems that he must have left off runner #5 for 3rd place to get that extra $100. Although leaving that runner off would increase profit we can't recommend it. Remember: red Money Gaps highlight significant separations between Win Dividends. That's what you want to look for to make money on a consistent basis. http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 22 Feb 2012 15:31:32 +1000 OK, so we mixed a couple of movie titles together up above, but that's not the main point. The main point for TriLogics owners is that, like some of those old westerns, a couple of last Saturday's races are definitely worth a second look. Hopefully, you had a good first look at both SR01 and SR02 on the 11th of February. As an added attraction, we'll also take a look at MR06 later in the day. High Noon In addition to being the title of the Academy Award winning classic starring Garry Cooper, it was also the start time for SR01. As it happened, this first race of the day qualified as a TriLogics Trifecta. As in "High Noon", nothing fancy happened - it was a straight MG selection race. TriLogics guidelines recommended selecting: to runner #3 and a red MG for 1st place, covering 59% of market share; to runner #1 for 2nd place, covering 76% of market share; and to runner # 5 for 3rd place. If you had traded according to these TriLogics recommendations and our website guidelines you could have taken a very early profit of $390 a couple of minutes past noon. Everybody Loves a Winning Sequel The next TriLogics trading race of the day was SR02, which started just 35 minutes after the day's first winner. Like the preceding race, SR02 was also a standard Money Gap selection Trifecta. Our guidelines recommend taking up to the red Money Gap at runner #9 for 1st place, covering 54% of the money; up to the second red Money Gap at runner #4 for 2nd place, covering 85% of the money; and the rest of the field for 3rd place. Having done this you should have noted that selections for all 3 finish positions had clearly defined "money grouping". If you're not sure what we mean check the race history in TriLogics and you'll see how "clean" each group was. TriLogics owners trading like this could have profited $224 on this race. Double Feature This same race, SR02, also qualified as a Percentage Return (PR) race. Remember: It only takes a single mouse click to check if a race qualifies under PR as well. Once you check the PR tab you should noted that the top 2 runners were clearly the strongest runners. In all fairness, this PR win only provided a modest return of $79, but combined with the other two trades of the day you could have been looking at a $690 profit after just 35 minutes of trading. The Return of Black Bart…...make that Black Caviar Owners who had pocketed nearly $700 by 12:35pm from the previous races might have decided to wait and see what would happen when Black Caviar tried to make it 18 straight victories in the CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield at 3:50pm (MR06). As has been the case for some time now, Black Caviar was such a strong favorite ($1.10) that the race did not qualify as a trading race. Nevertheless, owners with solid profits in their pockets might have decided to take a chance. We don't recommend that, but we understand it. If you chose to ignore the fact that this race was NOT a qualifying race because runner #8's (Black Caviar) $1.10 Win Dividend was too small you would have noticed that it also had a red Money Gap of 7.64. That alone would cement her as the sole choice for 1st place. The second favourite (#9, Southern Speed - last year's winner of the Caulfield Cup) also had a strong red Money Gap of 3.01, and would have been the sole selection for 2nd place, which would have covered 86% of the money. The next 2 runners (#6 and #2) covered 92% of the money and also ended on a red Money Gap. So, could Black Caviar's "sure win" status help a bold trader who went against the guidelines? With the selections as outlined above, they could have made a profit of $871 on a $400 trade. Can we recommend it? Absolutely not. On the other had, if you were one of the owners who ignored the guidelines because of Black Caviar's status we can hardly blame you. In fact, we congratulate you on succeeding with your bold move. That's probably why the saying, "Fortune favours the bold" has been around for nearly 2000 years. It even sounds like the title of a great western, don't you think? http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 15 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +1000 Are you old enough to remember the Sydney band called The Easybeats? How about their #1 hit "Friday on My Mind"? Whether you admit remembering it or not, it's a great pop tune and, like the band, TriLogics has Friday on its mind, too--Friday night that is. And for a very good reason: it's looking more and more like there's cash to be made on Friday nights. Here's how... Racing New South Wales, Racing Victoria, and the Australian Turf Club have all been promoting Friday night racing lately. At the moment they are still "crunching their numbers" and deciding whether or not they are going to expand night thoroughbred racing. TriLogics Group has no hard info on whether it will expand or not, but we think it looks promising. While the big racing organizations figure out what they're going to do, TriLogics is collecting data and doing our own analysis on potential profits to be made by our owners. The verdict? Initial information shows there are definitely money making possibilities available. Over the years, some TriLogics owners have reported that they use the software to trade greyhound and the trots at night. Although we encourage owners to explore many options, and we're fully aware the software can be used on these other forms of racing, our website results are strictly based on thoroughbred racing during the day. But with the increased promotion of Friday night thoroughbred racing we decided to take a look at a recent Friday (the 3rd of February) as one example to see how TriLogics trading would have turned out. In fact, TriLogics owners could have made themselves a quite a nice profit if they had traded according to our website guidelines. (Once again, we want to stress that our website figures currently do NOT include any night races.) We analysed that Friday night's races with a senior trainer and we found that trading looked quite good. Moonee Valley's MR03 at 7:45pm would have qualified as a fairly straight-forward Trifecta trading race. If you had covered the top 2 runners for 1st place, the top 4 runners for 2nd place, and the top 10 runners for 3rd place and had traded according to our website guidelines you could have made a tidy profit of $367 for the race. Not a bad way to start a Friday night. Then, just 3 races later, MR06 also qualified as another fairly standard Trifecta race. In this race, our guidelines would have recommended taking the top 3 runners for 1st and 2nd place, and the rest of the field for 3rd place. If you had followed these recommendations and traded the same levels posted on our website you could have added another $457 to your account. With those two races, you could have pocketed over $800 for the night, and that would have been a great way to start off your weekend. Remember our website figures don't include these numbers, but we are in the process of analysing the data and will post our final assessment on our website when all the info is in. In the meantime, you might want to keep an eye on these night races. As it turned out last week, there could be some great money making opportunities. http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlThu, 09 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +1000 Hollywood has made an industry out of people who hang in there when the going gets tough: think of Sylvester Stallone in Rocky, Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption or Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness among thousands of others. It might sound corny, but the reason these movies strike a chord with audiences is that they inspire us to persevere when we hit rough patches in our own lives. It happens in life and it happened last month with TriLogics. We'll admit it, we received a few emails and calls in the middle of December asking us what was going on since December is often one of the better trading months of the year. Well, we don't like down periods any more than you do, but what happened starting on the 23rd of December, right when most people were breaking for Christmas, is what usually happens if you persevere with TriLogics: the figures started climbing back up. In fact, the combined Trifecta and Percentage Return figures climbed above $400 every single day between the 23rd and the 31st except for the 28th. Don't worry we're not going to try to shop this story around to Spielberg or Scorsese with some kind of Christmas Miracle pitch. In fact, we'd much rather make a boring movie where all TriLogics owners make tons of money every single trading day. But no producer would buy a script like that and no one would want to see it. It wouldn't be exciting, it wouldn't be real, and, unfortunately, it wouldn't be TriLogics. But that's OK. There are rough patches in everything in life worth doing. The point is to persevere, get through the rough patches and prosper in the end. That's what makes for good movies and it's what makes for successful TriLogics users. While we're looking back on 2011 another thing to take note of is that our website figures for the year ended up at $58,567. It's not quite as strong as 2010's figures, but it's more than $2,200 above our yearly average figure for the 7 financial years from 2004 - 2011, which is a great figure for any business. Plus, 2012 started off with a bang for Trifecta, too. On the 2nd of January (the New Year's Day Holiday) in the very first qualifying Trifecta, SR02, our guidelines would have recommended selecting the top 2 runners for 1st place covering 56% of the money, with a Money Gap of 1.97. To fill out your selections we would have recommended taking the next four runners for 2nd and 3rd place. If you had traded according to our web site guidelines that could have resulted in a $601 profit. And if that were a movie, our guidelines would recommend the title: "Won and Done: Happy New Year!" Now, let's get to work on the sequel. http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +1000 In case you haven't already noticed, we have changed both the location and format for logging into the members section of TriLogics. Of course, the new login is still on the TriLogics.com.au home page but now you should login at the upper right part of the home page. Until recently the login button was in the lower right corner. You will also note that you can now login directly from the home page with your user name and password instead of clicking a button and adding your details in a separate window. One other change to take note of: we've now added a link so you can have a new password emailed to you if you've forgotten yours. When requesting a new password, please remember to use the same email address that is registered with TriLogics. One final note: we encourage you to get into the habit of logging in at the top right, because although there is still a login button at the bottom left of the page, that button will be removed once we have completed all "back end" work on the website. We hope you're enjoying the TriLogics website's new look! We also hope you were trading last Saturday the 19th. Although it wasn't a spectacular day, it definitely could have rewarded owners who patiently traded throughout the day. If you adhere to a $500 daily target, you could have achieved it and more using both Percentage Return and Trifecta. Often we talk about trading days where it's smart to "get in and get out" quickly with your profits in hand. This past Saturday was one where you could have seen a nice return, but it would have taken you until 4:30pm. Still, with a figure of $660 as posted on our web site, it could have been a very worthwhile Saturday. Despite a few races with data corruption, there were six races that qualified as Percentage Return (PR) trading races spread out over the day. (One side note on that for those interested: we regard any race that does not have a one-minute update from the NSW TAB service as having data corruption and therefore ineligible for trading.) Through all of those PR races, we posted a positive figure of about $150 on our website. Nothing outrageous, but when added to the Trifecta figure toward the end of the day it made for a worthwhile day of trading. The qualifying Trifecta race we're referring to was PR07 at Kembla Grange in New South Wales. As it turns out, it was the one and only qualifying Trifecta of the day. Some days go like that. Guidelines would have recommended covering 60 Trifecta combinations (the maximum to still qualify), but it could have provided you with a return of $510 on that race alone. Combined with the Percentage Return trading we mentioned earlier, owners could have pocketed a total of $660 for the day. It's days like this when the old saying, "patience is a virtue", could also be interpreted as, "patience pays off". http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 23 Nov 2011 13:47:41 +1000 Last week there was a lot of excitement about the Melbourne Cup and Black Caviar, but it was no surprise that neither provided TriLogics owners with good money making opportunities if you were following our guidelines. As far as making money, you would have been better off if you were using TriLogics last Monday. Yes, you read that right - Monday. Forget about the Boomtown Rats', "I Don't Like Mondays" and instead go with the mellower Mamas and the Papas', "Monday, Monday". If you had TriLogics running last Monday the 7th of November you would have seen a "picture perfect" Banker Trifecta in SR03. Runner #1, the favourite with a Win Dividend of 1.7, set up perfectly for a Banker in SR03 on Monday the 7th. With that Win Dividend and a red Money Gap of 2.88, it was a perfect opportunity to stand #1 out for first place. If you followed our advice from a few weeks back on double checking what was happening with the money on #1 in the Percentage Return module you would have seen it had a Money Separator of 3.5, which should have been very reassuring. Filling out the rest of the selections as per the guidelines should have seen you take the next four runners (#5, #6, #3, and #9) for second place stopping on a red Money Gap of 1.9, and covering a little over 84% of the money for 1st and 2nd place. With no other red Money Gaps further down the screen, the guidelines recommend taking the rest of the field for 3rd place, and that turned out to be a wise move as the second-to-last favourite (runner #4 with a Win Dividend of 44.2) ended up finishing in 3rd place. The above numbers reflect where things stood when it was time to place your trade, but the lead up to that point would have given you plenty of additional confidence in standing out runner #1 for first place. Starting at 6 minutes out from the scheduled start and moving to the one-minute mark you would have seen runner #1's Win Dividend move from 2.2 to 1.9 to 1.7 (at trading time) and finally closing at 1.6. As one of our senior trainers says, "If that's not a perfect Banker Trifecta, I don't know what is." He goes on to add, "When TriLogics owners are assessing a Banker Trifecta they need to remember that the 2 things they're looking for are: 1.) increased money support and, 2.) big Money Gaps in both the Trifecta and Percentage Return modules. SR03 had all of that." Plus, when trading according to the guidelines there were only 40 Trifecta combinations (which is well under the recommended number) and the top combo was $33. If you had followed along with this, and traded as per the website you could have profited $650 and been done for the day. As Mama Cass from the Mamas and the Papas sang, "Monday, Monday...so good to me." http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 09 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +1000 A message from a TriLogics user last week reminded us of Clint Eastwood's famous line from the movie, "Dirty Harry". You probably already remember the line, but just in case here's the setup. Harry is in a diner when a bank robbery occurs across the street. He and his .44 Magnum take care of 2 of the bad guys while one lies wounded in the street. As Harry walks up aiming his gun, the wounded robber looks at his own gun just within reach. Before the robber can reach for the gun, Harry tells him, "I know what you're thinking. 'Did I fire six shots, or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself...so you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" That's not a question we encourage TriLogics users to ask themselves before they place a trade. Instead, we hope a client would say to himself, "No matter happens with this trade, I'd do the exact same thing again because I've followed my system. Luck has NOTHING to do with it." So, why are we bringing this up? Because about a week ago a TriLogics owner wrote that CR02 on the 18th of October showed a very nice payout of $959 on a $400 trade. Whenever a client talks about a return like that we're very happy for them...unless it turns out that they had luck on their side instead of the system. Let's take a closer look. When one of our senior trainers checked the race he found CR02 didn't qualify as one of our trading races. Hmmm... Did we miss something? The only way to find out for sure was to check, because we definitely wanted to know if we had the right number of bullets in our gun. After a good look, it became clear that CR02 on the 18th certainly could have been a winner with 36 Trifecta combinations with a payout of $959...but NOT if you were following our Trifecta guidelines. After examining the race, the likely situation was that the owner had looked at what the software had pre-selected, which was close to 50%, 70% and 90%, and left the first place selections as they were, which was fine because they ended on a red Money Gap. But it was second place that had our trainer shaking his head. It looked like the owner had removed 1 runner for second place, (probably because it wasn't attracting enough money), and then left the pre-selections for third place down to 90% using an allowance. Following the rules for first place and third place and ignoring them for second place isn't the way to go, because there was no red Money Gap to stop on for second place. At that point, our owner must have been feeling lucky, because he wasn't following our system. Of course, you will sometimes have luck on your side and do well, as in this case. But if you remember what happened in "Dirty Harry" after Clint's famous line, he pulled the trigger and there were no more bullets left in his Magnum. Harry had bluffed the baddie. But the wounded "punk" had already surrendered. Clint ended up lucky. Of course he did: he's the good guy, he's the star, and...it's a Hollywood movie. In real life...in TriLogics...we strongly encourage you leave luck to the punters and follow the guidelines that are part of training. At the very least, do that until you become experienced enough to develop your own system. And by that time you'll know that you should still follow a system instead of relying on luck. Dirty Harry is a great movie character, but he'd make a lousy TriLogics owner.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +1000 Right from the beginning we need to make one thing clear: Black Caviar was not involved in a recommended TriLogics trading race when the sprinter won her 14th straight race. Having said that, we ARE going to spend a few minutes analysing this non-trading race for 2 main reasons. The first reason it's worth talking about MR04 is because it was the race where the Care for some caviar with your TriLogics? Right from the beginning we need to make one thing clear: Black Caviar was not involved in a recommended TriLogics trading race when the sprinter won her 14th straight race. Having said that, we ARE going to spend a few minutes analysing this non-trading race for 2 main reasons. The first reason it's worth talking about MR04 is because it was the race where the great Black Caviar equaled one of Phar Lap's greatest records. Because of that, we know that some racing enthusiasts would have watched the race while keeping an eye on TriLogics to follow the money. The second reason this race (the Schillaci Stakes) might be of interest to TriLogics owners is that even though it didn't qualify as a trading race by our standard guidelines, at least a couple of TriLogics users have reported that they did trade the race based on the strength of Black Caviar. Let's look at the "money-story" that led them to trade and win handsomely on this non-qualifying race. The Schillaci Stakes (MR04) took place at 1:20pm on Saturday the 8th of October. Since TriLogics never mentions a horse's name, you might have had to check the TAB website or other source to see that the #6 runner was Black Caviar. Of course, if you knew she was running in this race, and you have been paying attention to the news, the fact that the #6 runner had a Win Dividend of 1.1 would have provided a huge hint that #6 was Black Caviar. It's crystal clear that Black Caviar is an extremely strong favourite. In fact, she's too strong for the race to qualify as a Banker Trifecta which requires a Win Dividend of 1.5-1.7. As we said though, because Black Caviar has NEVER LOST, and the money reinforces her status as favourite, some TriLogics users saw her 6.73 red Money Gap and were confident enough to stand her out to win. The next step was to cover runners for the 2nd and 3rd place positions. What we have been told by TriLogics users, is that with Black Caviar chosen as their only runner for first, they proceeded to cover 96.5% of the money for 2nd and 3rd down to the next red Money Gap. That would have yielded 12 Trifectas. In the past, we have often recommended flipping back to the Percentage Return screen for reassurance when trading the Banker Trifecta. If you had done that, you would have received strong confirmation regarding standing out Black Caviar. Over the last 5 updates Black Caviar (runner #6) attracted $32,000. The second favourite, Karuta Queen, attracted $5,000. The next two runners attracted about $1,000. So if a TriLogics owner had flicked back to the Trifecta screen to make that trade they could have had an excellent return of $330. Another important note regarding the software is that although the winning Trifecta only paid $10.70, the TriLogics software allocated $69 out of $400 to the winning combo, and that's what lead to the healthy reward for this trade. Again, we note that this was NOT a trading race according to our guidelines and we will NOT include that $330 as part of our website figures. All going well, Black Caviar's next scheduled start is the 1200m Schweppes Stakes on the 22nd of October atMooneeValley, which is Cox Plate day as well. If you're using TriLogics on that day, you may want to keep an eye on the size of the field and the other factors in that race. It's likely that this might be another interesting race, even if doesn't qualify under normal trading guidelines. After all, Black Caviar is anything but normal.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 19 Oct 2011 08:43:46 +1000 Some TriLogics owners have told us that they sometimes get a bit nervous about trading the Banker Trifecta strategy. We understand and we're here to help. "But you don't understand," we've been told, " I don't like standing-out a single runner to Win. I'd rather have two or three runners to Win in my combinations, instead of just one. " Well, we do understand. We especially understand that some newer owners might feel that way and that's why we're passing along a TriLogics Tip that should help those owners. Believe this: It's very important to keep "the Banker" as part of your normal trading arsenal. It can provide you with great money making opportunities. And that's exactly what it did last Saturday the 24th. . So, to help boost your confidence, try using the TriLogics Percentage Return (PR) module to double check the strength of the favourite. It might very well give you the confidence to make a winning trade. Last Saturday, the 24th of September, MR02 was shaping up to be a beautiful Banker Trifecta. To make things even better, MR02 was scheduled to jump at 1:10pm. Why does that matter? Because if it came through as a winner, and it sure looked like it would, then you might very well be able to "call it a day" after less than an hour on TriLogics. As you might hear on Melbourne's Lygon Street "At's a Nice!" What made MR02 look so good? Well, the 1.5 Win Dividend was pretty good looking to begin with. Combine that with a Money Gap of 4.93 and you would be easily excused if you'd started belting out the hit single "Mamma Mia!" OK, so we're off to a great start, but we still need to cover the rest of our selections and then see if we're going to keep torturing the neighbors with an off-key version of Abba's "Golden-Oldie". Following the recommended procedure, we cover down to 82.6% of the money for second place, making sure we include all runners attracting similar cash. To finish things off, we recommend completing your selections down to 97.6% of the money while again including all runners with similar money. Do we have too many combinations? Drum roll, please. TriLogics says no, and that's our final answer. The 21 combinations are well below our maximum for a Banker. Are you still feeling a little nervous? OK, then it's time to double check your potential Banker with the "PR insurance policy". To do this, simply flick over to the PR module to get a quick summary of what's been happening with the flow of money over the last 5 updates. When you check MR02 you'll see that the Money Separator is a massive 8.61. Yeah, baby! MR02 is looking more and more gorgeous all the time. And, because it's always fun looking at big, beautiful "numbers" we look further. Hmmm, what do we see here? The favourite looks every bit as good as it did in the Trifecta module - maybe even better. Over the last 5 updates runner #3 has attracted about $55,000. Oh, baby! And the next closest runner? Just $6,400 over the last 5 updates. Are we about to make some money, baby? What do you think? Is this a good opportunity to go back to the Trifecta module and make your trade? Of course it is! If you had traded the way it's posted on our website you could have had a profit of $588 in about 40 minutes using the software. And it's not even 1:15pm, yet. Now, if you're still nervous you may want to talk to your doctor about a Valium. Just kidding! Trust your training. Trust the software. Be confident!http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 28 Sep 2011 16:45:26 +1000 Like Mikey the mobster in the Martin Scorcese movie says, "How many times I gotta tell ya." At the risk of repeating ourselves TriLogics wants to remind you to trade to a daily target and stop. Why are we bringing this up again? Simple: For the first 3 days of September if you had traded TriLogics to a daily target of $500 you would have been "won and done" within the first hour of trading. Let's look at the trading for each day - capiche? "It's a Beautiful Thing": Thursday the 1st of September Jumping at 12:55, race SR01 was the third race of the day. It was the first qualifying TriLogics Trifecta race, and it qualified under Megafecta guidelines. Runner #10 had a massive Money Gap of over 4.0, which made it a perfect candidate to stand out on its own for first. If you'd followed the rest of the guidelines you would have covered 92% of the money including second and third place. If trading according to our website guidelines the result could have been a nearly $600 profit for the day and you should have been done in an hour...that's the beauty part. "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannolis": Friday the 2nd of September The first race of the day was MR01 at Geelong that jumped at 12:37. As in the day before, this race also featured another stand out favourite showing a Money Gap of 3.6. Continuing with our guidelines, you should have taken 95% of the money for second place and the rest of the field for third place. If you had followed these guidelines you would have been up a cool $915 for the race, and done for the day. That's even better than home-made cannolis. "A Race You Can't Refuse": Saturday the 3rd of September On this day it would have taken you a little longer to make your money...but not much. Race PR01 at Hawkesbury in provincial NSW jumped at 12:40. It qualified as a Megafecta and runner #11 was a stand out favourite with a Money Gap of 3.5. If you had covered 91% for second and third place, as suggested by the guidelines you could have made $319. Since our website target is $500 we had not met it so we kept looking for another qualifying race. It didn't take long. MR01 at Flemington jumped at 12:45 qualifying as a Standard Trifecta with 70% for first and second place, and the rest of the field for third place. It wasn't a huge win, but the $186 you could have won would have put you over $500 for the day, and once again you're done...in a good way! Better than Linguini with Clam Sauce On Friday and Saturday no races qualified under Percentage Return (PR) guidelines prior to our Trifecta races, but there was one that snuck in there early on Thursday the 1st of September. It was race MR02 and it jumped at 12:45 (just ahead of our winning Trifecta). This PR race had two favourites with very strong Money Separators and it could have provided you with a nice $124 to start your day. Add that to the $599 won 10 minutes later and you've got a gorgeous Thursday and an even more gorgeous $2143 for the 3 days. So, maybe you're tired of hearing us suggest you stick to a daily target and quit...but you're probably not tired of starting your September off with over $2100 in the first 3 days! As the New York wise guys say in the movies, Badda Bing, Badda Boom...Fuhgeddaboutit - you're done. http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 07 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +1000 In case you hadn't caught the musical reference in today's title, the "me" refers to TriLogics Trifecta module. And Trifecta just gave clients the opportunity to have a great 5-day period of trading. Hopefully you were leaning on Trifecta, yourself. A couple of weeks ago we talked about how well the TriLogics Percentage Return (PR) module was performing. Now, toward the end of this month, it's been the Trifecta module that's been strong. From the 25th of August through the 29th we've had 4 solid Trifecta days. On one of those days, the first qualifying Trifecta came through with a strong start. On another day, you had to have a little faith and patience, but the TriLogics Trifecta module came through in the end. Then, on the 27th, three out of the first four Trifectas could have delivered a great outcome if you were trading according to our guidelines. Let's take a closer look. Last Thursday the 25th of August could have been a very good Trifecta day if you had traded SR01 according to guidelines on our website. That was the first qualifying Trifecta race of the day, jumping at 12:45, and it was perfect for using our Standard Trifecta strategy. Our data sheets show clients could have had a positive outcome of $432 for that race. Plus, since the first race of the day jumped at 12:00pm you only had to be on TriLogics for about 45 minutes to see a great outcome. Leaning on Trifecta is beginning to feel nice and solid, isn't it? The very next day, on the 26th, there was another Trifecta race that would have been nice and solid if not spectacular. It was BR05, and it didn't jump until 3:25pm so you had to be a bit patient in this case. But if you were trading according to our guidelines your patience could have been rewarded with another positive outcome on another Standard Trifecta. In this case there were 36 trifectas selected, and you could have pocketed $213 on the race. It would be understandable if leaning on Trifecta was starting to feel pretty comfortable. Then, on Saturday the 27th, three out of the first four Trifectas could have been winners for you if you were following our guidelines. CR02 at 12:24 qualified as a Banker Trifecta and could have provided you with a tidy $425. 11 minutes later MR01 also qualified as a Banker and jumped at 12:35. Unfortunately you would have experienced a loss of $400 on that one, but hopefully you didn't give up on Trifecta just yet. 25 minutes later, AR01 looked pretty good as yet another Banker in the lead up to its 1:00pm jump. Sure enough, it could have showed a positive outcome of $425, and you could have found yourself $50 ahead of where you started. And Trifecta was just warming up. At 1:35 AR02 qualified as a Standard Trifecta under the basic guidelines of 50%, 70%, and 90% to red Money Gaps and you could have made $512. Not bad for under 2 hours of "work" on a Saturday. If you had stuck around for trading on Monday the 29th you would have seen the Trifecta trend continue on race MR04. It qualified as a Banker with just 30 trifectas, and could have provided you with $858 on that race alone. So there you have the story of Trifecta carrying the load for a 5-day period. As we saw, there was a bump along the way, but in trading - as in life - that's the way it goes. As the song says: the important thing is to have a friend to lean on when things are a bit down. This past week it was the Trifecta module carrying the load. Next week it might be PR again. Practice using all the modules and strategies so the right "friend" will be there for you when you need it.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1000 Last Saturday, the 13th of August, we read a couple of messages from TriLogics owners who talked about how well they had done. Both mentioned profits in the area of $800. What we'd like to focus on is the how well things went when trading Percentage Return (PR) with and against the favourite. After all, one of the main reasons we have multiple strategies is that sometimes one strategy or module runs "hotter" than the others. Well, last Saturday it was TriLogics PR that might have had you singing the Carole King / James Taylor's oldie, "You've Got a Friend". Let's take a look at how TriLogics PR could have really helped your trading last Saturday. The first race of the day that qualified as a PR race, trading with the favourite, was AR01 that jumped at 12:40pm. In this race you would have been wise to stand out the top two favourites, runners #2 and #1. They were clearly the strongest runners in the race based on market support, and combined they held over 50% of market money. Runner #2 held 32% and runner #1 held 21%. If you had traded according to the guidelines as posted on our website you could have seen a nice start to your day with a figure of $124. Just 20 minutes later, BR02 was another race that qualified as a PR race trading with the favourite. As in AR01, you would have wanted to select the top two runners in this race, runners #3 and #2. Not only were they each holding a solid percentage of market money, 34% for runner #3 and 20% for runner #2, but there was a massive Money Separator of 3.3. That should have given you plenty of confidence to take these two runners and if you were trading according to our web guidelines you would have seen a positive figure of $93. You had to switch gears slightly for the next qualifying race, LR04, which was scheduled to jump at 1:55. In this case you still would have wanted to focus on the PR module, but this time going against the favourite. In this case you would have wanted to trade to the runners that the software selected because they finished on a clear red Money Separator. If you had traded this race you could have made $172. A few minutes later you would have wanted to stick with PR, and continue to stick with trading against the favourite for race MR04. In this case the favourite was very weak and so you would have wanted to select the #4, #1, #3, and #2 runners against it. It wouldn't have provided a huge positive figure, $58, but combined with the other races for the day you could have been looking at a very tidy profit by 2:00pm - all through Percentage Return trading. This is good news since we've heard that many TriLogics owners are especially comfortable trading with the PR module because changing the value is a simple process based on the strength of the race. When in doubt, have a close look at Percentage Return: there's a good chance it will be your financial friend right when you need one.http://www.trilogics.com.au/successful-clients.htmlWed, 17 Aug 2011 12:24:21 +1000
