Financial spread betting might be a tax efficient and the right instrument to use in the UK and Ireland but witiout knowledge it can be disasterous.
Spread betting for beginners is a good start and then the learning curve.

Did you know that financial spread betting is tax free? It means you've got to pay no tax... no Capital Gains Tax, No Stamp Duty, No tax at all.

Financial spread betting envolves trading on leverage.
Yes, it could be good and benefit you but once you lose control of the leverage you might run into serious troubles. Make sure you treat leverage with respect and remember... it can hurt.

Contracts For Difference is in essense a simple trading option which stands on 3 pillars: leverage, wide range of markets, and simplicity.
It's worth starting with the basics to understand CFDs a bit better as there's a lot of confusion.

1. CFDs are different. Seems like there's a lot of confusion going on with CFD trading, particularly when it comes to CFDs vs Options (we're not talking about binary options as those are different). Options and CFDs are very different.

2. Range of markets.
You can trade CFDs almost on any financial market you can imagine but the range of markets very a great deal between brokers so make sure your broker offers the markets you're after.

This thread is to cover one of the most important topics for those involved in financial spread betting or any other form of trading.
Let's be honest and see 3 most common reasons why many lose and what part spread betting plays there.

1. Over-leveraging.
Probably the most common mistake out-there - don't over leverage; yes, potential returns might be tempting but you want to use spread betting as a trading platform rather than a gambling one so keep your leverage in check.

2. Over-trading.
Over-trading is another common mistake novice spread bettors make. Don't trade just for the sake of trading but spend more time learning and analysing your potential positions. More learning = more profit.

Day Trading Basics That Every Beginner Should Know
The prospect of trading online has bred a new crop of investors who trade in the comfort of their homes. It's a section of the industry that is enjoying a steady rise.
independentinvestor.com Image
Day trading is one faction of online trading that has attracted high risk traders who can be able to keep tabs on the ever changing prices of different financial instruments. Some would argue that day trading is not really investing given the limited time.
Day traders basically keep an eye on the fluctuating market prices, and sell whenever it suits them. Trades typically last very few minutes. Traders often use CFDs because they offer faster transaction speeds and result in better execution prices.

1. Take note of the past trends. If you know the history of the market, you can make better decisions and predict what the future will possibly be like.
2. Don’t be controlled by your tools. Although the Forex robot and advisers are helpful, don’t let them make the decisions for you. Look for other sources of information before you decide.

Why Volume Matters when Trading FX?
There is a myth out there that suggests that volume in fx markets does not exist and furthermore if it did, it cannot be calculated. The reason for this explanation is as below:

#forex #fx #forextrader #forexmoney
independentinvestor.com/forex/how-curr… Image
Stocks and Futures are traded on a centralized exchange, therefore each trade that goes through is recorded and therefore is readily available, making it very easy for a trader to view the volumes on any given day.

In fx however, there is no actual centralized exchange, rather fx is traded through an inter bank system, thus making it very difficult to see what the volume is and where it may be coming from.
