Lion63........Just saw your bit about out of hours spreads. I monitor these quite often and agree that they do represent opportunities on occasion. The markets are tradable any time up until midnight when your position will be closed at the actual market closing price and rolled over (if you...

I agree.......my experience with the tax office has confirmed that spread betting is a tax free pursuit, certainly for the moment. When such a time comes when they intend to make it clearly taxable, there will be ample warning. However, I was thinking just now (whilst looking at my SB...

Joop.....a point worth mentioning. Often a reason for confusion when comparing quotes with the index it'self rather than the futures. But all this talk of quote bias etc that I read is all a bit misleading too, as I said you need to accomdate any "market linked" earnings method particular...

I would'nt do that Roberto ;). But no doubt I shall be "seeing you" at sometime or another. Maybe trading the other end of my beach..lol

Hey BBB.........:). I like your posting, dont you just love an "I told you so" sort of guy. But then again I see you are legendary member and obviously of high experience and closed mind to deserve it :) But you imply that only inexperienced persons will jump down your throat with all sorts...

The disparity between the spread betters platform and the actual market is often quite extreme in the first few minutes of trade. It is their way of protecting their interest until the direction of the market stabilises following the initial burn off. No point in complaining about it, you...

I haven't read the whole thread here, but there does seem to be a lot of negative comment about spreadbetting or indeed if it can possibly be profitable or is what some think is "real" trading? However, I thought my own experiences and comments may be relevant. I started trading 6 years ago...

I am new to this site also, but not new to trading. I've been day trading for 6 years now and still here, but only by the grace of God perhaps, trading is definitely not easy. My own personal favourite line is............."If you never lose you never learn and if you never learn you will lose...
