    Mr Spread Betting is back, be careful everyone

    I see this wally is now on the defensive on his Twitter and crying about how he is being trolled every day and how he is getting his solicitors on the case. He is also claiming he will bring a cease and desist against T2W. Hilarious considering he is one of the most abusive trolls I have ever...

    FDAX Slippage

    Mr Spread Betting is back, be careful everyone

    I think it was some kind of live trading room. I know he spent some time on Twitter cultivating a following by talking a good game while assuring everyone that as an excellent trader he had nothing to sell. He even openly attacked at least three vendors that run trading rooms calling them...

    Confusion about SB practices - help!

    Yes the FOMC whipsaw was brutal. Low liquidity spikes can be particularly nasty in Forex and the problem is compounded because of the decentralised nature of the market.

    Confusion about SB practices - help!

    This is almost certainly nothing to do with the firms "rigging" prices and is likely down to the fact that your trade entry is poor. If you are new to trading, you shouldn't be surprised if the market seems to go immediately against you!

    Dare to contact the professionals!

    Lol.. Having read that I have a feeling that you have to be somewhat sceptical of technical analysts being mentioned in the press...I have some friends on prop desks that have told me many of the traders who could not make money ended up moving into dealing roles, what is more, some of them...

    Books that inspired

    "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" is one of the best books that has ever been written on stock trading. The Market Wizards trilogy is good - particularly the last one "Stock Market Wizards" which focuses on stock traders in particular. For some reason not as much mention is ever made of this...
