No idea which market is easier to trade. But since 2010 EU50 vs US500 is a PERFECT spread/pair-trade. From Leakey you can see this spread can be played with almost any major European country-index.

That is simply a market characteristic grown in time. Almost any commodity has its own characteristic contract cycle. This also holds for expiration and delivery dates. Financial futures are much younger and therfore much more standardized, especially because only a few exchanges have survived...

Ever thought about a second account? With the same broker (not so easy) or another.

Hi! I am looking for CROSS-Rates in Cryptos. IG offers BCH/BTC and ETH/BTC but at rediculous spreads. Are there any brokers out there with a wider range and tighter spreads? Any brokers accepting a coin (BTC or BCH or ETH) as account currency? THnaks for your help

OK! Here are some questions! 1, why spread bets? for tax reasons? currency hedge? 2. there are NO swaps shown! Is it a swap free account? 3. Any limitations or extra fees for short positions? 4. Could you post the full list of intruments (stocks AND ETFs, at list for UK and USA)? Looking...

Thanks so far for the contributions. Unfortunately my fear is confirmed, there are no outperforming value oriented funds. QQQ and IWM are the best signs for an upcoming paradigm shift. And then HISTORIC GROWTH PERFORMANCE will be definitely NO GUARANTEE FOR FUTURE (VALUE) PERFORMANCE

I would just like to raise one question in all these discussions. What is the outlook for inflation and therefore for interest rates in special, and for markets in general? The standard model is the 60/40...

Hi! I have started to search for funds (mutual, closed, ETF, etc) with a long lasting brilliant track record and small investment sums. the criteria are in detail: 1) CAGR for 10y min 14%; for 15y min 12,5% 2) minimum investment below 5.000,- 3) load and/or redemption fee below 6% the...

Hello udithag! For some simple minds, like me, could you kindly explain what you are doing and how it refers to trading? When do you take what position, when do you exit? All those nice pictures so far would have generated how many profitable/lossing trades, at what average profit/loss...

Hi Anton! If you really manage to break even, you are already on good track. Remember the Vegas veteran's weekend prayer. "Oh Lord let me break even this weekend, I really need the money next week..." But to get serious again, it is a good basis. Normally risk management can help in such a...

Hi Valeryn! Congrates! At the end of my monthly forum tour, I have found your post and link. At first sight very impressive. Perhaps I will have tomorrow an extra shift to go thru your pages. happy spreading

You are at the right place, but at the wrong time. Valuations are rich, and they might get richer and you might miss opportunity after opportunity. But you also might end up with a loss of 30%. Just look back a year ago. My advice: Invest in the broad market, at least 80% of your funds, BUT...

This context generates an ODD IDEA in my brain: Putting the real trading into the Ltd. But paying no dividends! Instead running a private tax free SB-account, and placing opposite trades in the company and private account. With some time and knowledge (I could help!) you should manage to...

IG is the leader with the greatest range of products. BUT: 1. it is expensive, no other broker has such a detailed list of costs and expenses 2. To my knowlegde they only offer spread bettting to UK and Eire residents. CMC is second, and cheaper BUT also ONLY UK&EIRE CityIndex aka GAIN aka...
