My #footballindex journey over the last 6 months (for those who are interested)..
So. I had a bit of a crisis. The ever changing face of FI; the announcements, Covid, removal of IS, OBs, a fake and real div increase, deposit bonuses etc had me 2nd guessing everything.

I forgot what I was good at; my edge. I was chasing rises and changing strategies with every twist and turn FI threw at us. I even created an elaborate spreadsheet on youth (although I still think this is useful
)

Was the crisis my fault? Mostly.
But FI have to take some of the blame, especially when they offer me private deposit bonuses and then suspend me for checks, then offer another deposit bonus to everyone for their birthday.

Either way, a large combination of small events had lead me down a path I wasn't used to which was mainly being indecisive and chasing rises. What's crazy is my advice to a friend through this whole thing was to just sit tight and not do anything which was good advice!
So then, a few weeks ago, I did a silly little quiz on @FiGuide website that reminded me what I was good at; my edge. Coincidentally @FIForce2 & @mortz_BHAFC talked about it on @IRISHFI1 pod. I'm a short term trader (and a good one too). What a revelation! Time to get back to it!
Now, I previously publicly stated I (& others) dont need @IndexGain or anything similar. I think this was true but, with OBs and the way I trade, the info they can give on spreads is worth the money so wanted to publicly say my opinion on this has changed too.
I guess this is just a a thank you to those that have helped me. I'm back on track and willing to help others.
