Hardly ever come here any more but when i do I always see the SB question.(nothing changes) Each to their own but i`ve been using / making a living spreadbetting almost exclusively for many years and never had a problem. I don`t feel the need to feel like a "pro" having done that for an IB A...

I am looking for ways to make money out of the stock market / trading. Not sure where to start though. sounds like you are not really ready--harsh but possibly true. All trading is gambling , some will say otherwise. Read plenty and spend a while studying the market before diving in. I never...

Gkfx s/bet ?

keep going--maybe others will join in--need a few stock threads

Just trundled through most of this . Time to put things in perspective-we are "retail traders" read punters.(mainly wanabees who cant get a proper trading job or dreamers) What we are doing is a spit in the ocean compared to Institutional trading. The tools we have for doing this are fantastic...

Failing those you mention try ETX-best of all in my opinion.been using them for ages-IG no2

retail punters are always the last to get in. Why buy into an overblown market. There WILL be a better time to buy. To answer your question, if he`s down 6% in this market then something needs looking at

yes-stay real

Back door route---go meet and mix with the right people---I made " friends" in the city to bypass HR and straight in to the IB dealing room.Trainee board boy -lol-- to AVP (forex) without a formal interview or CV Its probably different now -good luck

Ah well-thats another matter---I only keep in any account what I need at any one time

This argument is as old as the hills---Modern spreadbetting (in my opinion) is as valid way of trading as any other. I make my living from it (90% sb) and have done for many years and had virtually no problems with profitable accounts If I get it wrong then I lose if I get it right I win...

ETX to launch mt4 spreadbetting platform soon --might be an interesting alternative

I`ve been daytrading for years and still making a living at it--deal smallish sizes and try and keep losses to a minimum works for me. Steady Eddy not going for glory. EG just shorted WS for 35 pips and out.
