March 2026 Update — Signs of Stabilisation

March 2026 was a small positive month for the Greyhound Filtered Strategy, with the system showing signs of stabilisation after a more difficult February.

The strategy continues to run fully automated, with no manual interference, and the focus remains on long-term execution rather than reacting emotionally to short-term variance.

The cycle view remains important because it gives a clearer picture of how the strategy behaves over time. After four strong opening cycles, performance has cooled, with Cycles 5 and 6 showing the kind of drawdown and slower recovery that naturally comes with higher-odds betting.

That does not automatically indicate structural weakness. At average odds of around 12.5, variance is part of the journey.


Commentary

March offered some encouragement, not because the profit was large, but because it suggested that the recent difficult phase may be starting to settle.

A small green month after a deeper negative patch is often more reassuring than a random spike, because it points toward stabilisation rather than noise.

At this stage:

  • the edge still appears intact

  • strike rate remains broadly in line

  • no structural breakdown has been observed

  • the focus remains on completing Cycle 6 cleanly


What Happens Next

The strategy will continue to run unchanged and fully automated.

The immediate objective is simple:

complete Cycle 6 and then reassess the full picture.

No launch decision will be made until that phase is complete.


Final Note

This strategy is not designed for people chasing quick wins.

It requires:

  • patience

  • discipline

  • a minimum 300-unit bank

  • trust in long-term expectancy

Monthly results matter psychologically, which is why they are shown clearly above. But the bigger picture still matters more. The cycle structure remains the best way to judge whether the strategy is behaving as expected.
