Spread Betting with Capital Spreads

Posted on 21:00 by Unknown

Regular readers will know that I have spread betting accounts with most providers. This is not only for journalistic reasons (so I can write about them) but also because their slightly different offerings means that they can be useful in different scenarios.

One of my all-time favourite spread betting companies is Capital Spreads, the award-winning home brand of the spread betting behemoth the

Spread Betting with InterTrader

Let me tell you what I think about spread betting company InterTrader. These are not the usual plus points of tight spreads and fast

Spread Betting with IG

Posted on 04:31 by Unknown
Regular readers will know that I have spread betting accounts with most providers. This is not only for journalistic reasons (so I can write about them) but also because their slightly different offerings means that they can be useful in different scenarios.

Trade of The Week: Sometimes It Pays to Average Down!

Posted on 06:19 by Unknown
Most seasoned spread bettors and other traders will tell you that it is usually a bad idea to "average down" by adding more funds to a losing position, despite the obvious temptation to lower your overall purchase cost and therefore to break-even much sooner. I said as much in my Position Trading book. Then I had a re-think, and in the "Tricks of The Trade" chapter of my Better Spread Betting

In and Out of Love with SpreadEx

Posted on 22:00 by Unknown
I have to admit that I had fallen out of love with SpreadEx compared with some of the other spread betting brands like Capital Spreads, IG, InterTrader, and ETX Capital.

Posted on 04:57 by Unknown
It may appear a little strange, me using the headline "Lucky Lamprell" on the day that Lamprell shares gapped-down some 35%. But Lamprell has been a lucky stock for me in several ways...

1) On 26 July I told your about my Lucky Escape from Lamprell, i.e. how I had exited my long position the day before that day's massive price fall.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Posted on 10:13 by Unknown
It was my birthday the other day, and I was pleased to receive an email from Capital Spreads inviting me to claim a £50 top-up to me account. How kind of them!

On the same day, SpreadEx offered to cover my trading losses of up to £50 over a 48-hour period. How kind of them, too!

These sorts of offers won't make you a millionaire overnight, but they're nice touches.
