    Can you really make money spread betting

    Don't you just get sick of hearing the usual drivel - patience, focus, risk management, blah, blah, blah! All you need is a complete profitable trading system that tells you when to click to get in, and click to adjust (if required) and click to exit.

    Depends what you call large, 50-100pp is my size, not what I would call very large at all.

    I said I expect (so plan for) 5-7 pips costing, round trip which means 2.5-3.5 per click of the button.

    You can still make money if you include the slippage for longer term intraday trades, some sb firms can come out worse on the Dow cause of wider spreads and slippage.

    I stand corrected, I expect to pay in real terms 5-7 pips spread round trip. So no good for scalping but still not that bad if you don't expect to get the advertised spreads. They should change their ads to 2.5-3 pip typical spreads.
