(Probably) the Best Computer for Spread Betting

Posted on 06:54 by Unknown

If you spend most of your time working on the web (like me) and much of your time spread betting (like me) you may be beginning to wonder if you need a proper PC at all, and whether one of the stripped back web-browser-only Chromebook computers might be more appropriate for your needs.



Chromebooks will not be for everyone because you can't install traditional Windows PC software, so you'll

A helping hand towards Better Spread Betting...

Posted on 05:14 by Unknown

I know it's traditional on a trading blog like this one to harp on about a constant string of real or imaginary successes, but how much more satisfying is it to hear that you helped someone else achieve their ambition of making money -- or at least no longer losing it -- while spread betting?



So imagine how pleased I was to read this latest review of my Better Spread Betting book -- which is

A "Risk Free" Trade on Barratt

Posted on 01:17 by Unknown
Don't get too excited-- I'm not about to tell you how you can initiate a "risk free" trade on Barratt. But I am about to tell you how my own three-step pyramided trade on Barratt has now become "risk free".



You may recall from my Three Steps to (Trading Heaven) article that I had increased my trade size to £3-per-point via £2-per-point from an original £1-per-point. Not only do I now have 3x

Holy Trinity!

Posted on 08:40 by Unknown

Back on the theme of yesterday, where it paid to have averaged down, I refer you back to a previous "Trade of The Week" on Trinity Mirror where it also paid to have averaged down. And I've referred you back to that prior trade on Trinity Mirror because it sets the scene for what I am about to tell you.

Introducing "Harriman Intelligence"

You may already know that my Stop Orders book was published by respected financial publishers Harriman House. You might not know that they will soon be launching a new website called Harriman Intelligence, to which they have asked a small number of authors such as me to contribute some content.

Update on my London Capital Group "Trade of The Week"

Posted on 05:15 by Unknown

Following yesterday's Trade of The Week feature, in my warts 'n' all style I thought I should update you on what happened next. Unfortunately, the price of London Capital Group shares fell back thereby triggering the stop order on my original position for a loss of £25.33 including financing costs.



The good news is that by "averaging down" twice and then taking some of the bounce-back profits

Trade of The Week on London Capital Group

Posted on 03:45 by Unknown
Have you seen what happened to the London Capital Group share price in the past few days? The sudden ramp-up in share price allowed me to bank this quick profit:







I cashed in those few chips so as to demonstrate the handy IG P&L Breakdown Report that shows you exactly how you did -- including financing costs -- on each of the positions you have closed.

I banked a more substantial quick
