Some people like learning about spread betting from books like my Better Spread Betting, Stop Orders and Position Trading books. Some people prefer to learn face-to-face with a spread betting guru at a seminar, and are willing to pay for it. If you want to see spread betting in practice, but without the seminar price tag and without leaving the comfort of your own own, one of these spread betting

Use guaranteed stops to conjure additional trading funds out of thin air!
Posted on 04:01 by Unknown
Like me, you may occasionally find yourself in the embarrassing position of wanting to make a trade in your spread betting account at a time when you have little or no "available to trade" trading funds. Like me, you may prefer your spread betting account(s) to be self-sufficient and therefore you're reluctant to feed yet more new money into your account.

The Revolutionary New Gekko Markets "TradeHub" Trading Platform
Posted on 01:06 by Unknown
Any former clients of spread betting company Gekko Markets will have noticed that their account has now been migrated to the new TradeHub trading platform. Those former clients, and any new new ones who might care to sign up, will be interested to know why this revolutionary new trading platform is unlike most (if not all) other spread betting platforms I have used.

Shop Around for Minimum Stop Distances on Guaranteed Stops
Posted on 08:56 by Unknown
I've had an on-off relationship with guaranteed stop orders, sometimes regarding the guarantees as invaluable and sometimes regarding them as too restrictive or simply unnecessary in a sufficiently diversified portfolio of spread bets. In these continuing uncertain and volatile times, those guarantees may be worth their weight in gold (if that's what your trading).

Selftrade (spread betting) moving to the London Capital Group (LCG) trading platform.
Posted on 08:58 by Unknown
A couple of days ago I received an email from Selftrade -- with whom I'd forgotten I held a spread betting account, to be honest -- informing me that their CFD and Spread Betting offering would be moving from the current City Index trading platform to the London Capital Group (LCG) platform.

Better Spread Betting with TRADERS' Magazine
Posted on 23:36 by Unknown
Have you read the Better Spread Betting article in the August 2012 edition of TRADERS' Magazine? It's subtitled Spread Betting for the More Investment-Minded, which sums up much (but not all) of my spread betting philosophy.
Don't forget that TRADERS' Magazine also contributed one of the tips to the final "One More Thing..." chapter of my Better Spread Betting book.

Trade of The Week: Lucky Escape from Lamprell
Posted on 01:49 by Unknown
In yesterday's sensationalist article I told you how I had closed several positions in an IG Index account in order to bank some profits. It was mighty unusual for me to close any position trades manually, instead preferring to let my trailed stop orders take me out when the tide turns. In one case it was lucky I close the trade manually, just in the nick of time.
