Continuing the timeline that I had begun in my Better Spread Betting book, and which I last updated on here, I can now confirm that the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has now sent me a cheque for the money I was owed by the now-defunct spread betting company World Spreads. They didn't owe me very much -- less than £1000 -- but it's nice that it's finally back in my own pocket. If

Dicing with Death on a Standard Chartered Day Trade
Posted on 10:17 by Unknown
I don't usually day trade, but this morning I was simply too tempted to try and get a quick profit out of Standard Chartered, the bank that was accused of money laundering for Iran.
I heard on the morning news that the shares had fallen overnight in Hong Kong, so I knew they would fall in London at the open. I also knew that there was no way to get in before the fall; so the only way to benefit

I just realised it was over a week since I last posted a "Trade of the Week" feature. How lax of me! The previous one was my Lucky Escape from Lamprell, and this week I thought I'd provide an update on the same trade, not least because it gives me another opportunity to show off the IG Index and ETX Capital charts that I like very much. I like them because they allow me to visualise existing open

Reviews of the Better Spread Betting book
Posted on 03:32 by Unknown
A very experienced publisher once told me that "reviews sell books". Although I think there's a bit more to it than that, I hope he's right because so far I'm pleased with what the reviewers on Amazon.co.uk are saying about my Better Spread Betting book.
The consensus opinion seems to be that the book is very accessible for beginner spread bettors while also containing more in-depth (but still

Betting on the Betting Firms
Posted on 02:14 by Unknown
Some people think that there is more money to be made by buying the betting firms than by placing bets with them. Suppose you thought that your favourite spread betting firm itself was onto a winner (or a loser) and you wanted to back your judgement.
If you thought that the underlying operator of your Capital Spreads, InterTrader or Financial Spreads spread betting platform was onto a winner,
