Here are a few ideas why cfd and forex forums are still good:
independentinvestor.com/forex/forex-fo… Image
There are many trading instruments to choose from... let's take CFDs, forex, and financial spread betting to start with. On forums, traders share about their experiences and help you to choose the right instrument for you.
What about strategies?
What about your favorite strategy? Forums allow traders to share their strategies and tests. It is a good idea to share and see what works for others.
Sharing your trading ideas. Forums allow people to share their ideas and see what works for others and how to benefit from the newest trends.
Wouldn't you want to know what others are trading and why? Wouldn't you want to know why many choose to trade a specific pair?
Learning. Some people might think that forums are so yesterday but it's not true at all as forex forums still provide a wealth of information and help traders to learn and benefit from the knowledge of others.

independentinvestor.com/forex/brokers/
Let's see what forex traders look for: Image
1. Reputation.
Do you read what other forex traders have to say about your broker? In fact, it will take you just a bit of time but you get to see what others think and how good your forex broker is. Don't underestimate the value of reviews.
2. Regulations.
It's needless to say that you should only trade with regulated forex brokers. Choose a broker which is regulated and avoid the bucket shops. You will benefit long term if your broker is regulated and your funds are protected.

What is the deference between Contracts For Difference and financial spread betting?
Let's get the main points right and see what they have in common and where they actually differ.
spread betting vs CFDs
independentinvestor.com/cfd/cfds-vs-sp… Image
1. Both, spread betting and CFDs, offer a wide range of markets to trade; you literally can trade practically anything with both instruments - indices, shares, commodities, cryptos, forex, etc. It's incredible, you can trade almost anything.
2. Tax Treatment. That's where it gets interesting as both offer tax advantages as you don't actually hold physical assets but and this is a big but, there's absolutely no tax on your profits from financial spread betting.

What is the best spread betting broker?
This is the questions many might be asking and there is no right or wrong answer.
But there are ways to find the best spread betting companies and here are some tips:
independentinvestor.com/spread-betting… Image
1. Regulation. Make sure your financial spread betting broker is regulated by the FCA. The FCA do their best to protect spread betting traders and anybody involved in trading financial markets to make sure people only trading with reliable brokers.
2. Spreads and overnight charges. Those will play a huge role in your trading career as every single penny you pay in charges is a penny saved and thus profit. Make sure you compare and read reviews about spread betting brokers.

Why is forex trading so popular in the UK?
We can see that forex trading is still a thing in many countries but why is it still so popular in Great Britain in particular? What is that makes Brits trade forex? Image
1. London is the financial capital of Europe. Whether you like it or not, London is still there and kicking. This makes the UK the major hub for financial institutions and forex brokers in particular.

2. FCA regulation. After the Brexit so many expected forex and other brokers to leave London and move somewhere else. What really happened? More international brokerages applied for the FCA regulation. Like it or not... FCA is the name in the industry.

Is CFD trading really popular and where?
What makes CFDs so special and why in some countries they are so popular? Let's have a look at the countries where Contracts For Difference are popular.
It's no surprise that in these countries broker competition is fierce. Image
United Kingdom: it is no surprise that CFDs are very popular in the UK. British have a rich history of investing money in shares and other financial instruments and CFDs offer an easy way to trade a wide range of products.

Australia: it's hard to say why CFDs are so popular there, maybe it's because of the close ties to the UK but it is a fact that CFDs are popular in Australia.
It is no surprise that it's home to some of the best and most trusted CFD brokers in the world.

When it comes to finding a spread betting broker, we all want to have a reliable one so we could concentrate on our trading rather than dealing with the problems.
The thread covers the aspects of finding a good and reliable spread betting company.

Research
You only want to deal with a good broker so it would be a good idea to check forums and review sites to see what other spread bettors have to say about companies you are considering. It will take just a few minutes of your time but will pay off in the long run.
Spreads
Broker market is very competitive and spread traders surely benefit from this as spread betting providers had to cut their spreads to almost 0. If you're a long term trader you also have to pay overnight financing on top of spreads.
