    Possible North West meeting? Hi, I would like to put forward the possibility that I organise a meeting for North West based UK traders in the very near future - perhaps over the next 3/4 weeks. The idea is that several of us get together to chat about all things trading related - swap ideas...

    Traders Alert - Vince Stanzione

    Thanks for the explanation, it was something I was just curious about. 10% per trade is too much to risk on any one trade, especially if the stops aren't far enough away which in this case they mustn't have been. I risk just 2% on any one trade and even that seems excess at times. Sorry to...

    Traders Alert - Vince Stanzione

    I have to ask a few questions about his because I know a lot about how Vince trades and I find it hard to believe that he would suggest you risk so much on a handful of trades. First of all, at his latest seminar, Vince suggested that anyone with £10,000 or less should risk no more than 4% per...

    Quick question about Corus Group (UK:CS)

    Hi, Just a quick question: I have an open long position (spread bet) on Corus Group who I believe have been bought by Tata Steel. Tata apparently won an auction at a price of 608p per share. The mid price on Finspreads is currently around 605. What happens when the shares are finally...

    That's amazing! - fixed price spreadbetting.

    It certainly is but the problem is that BetOnMarkets provides "digital options". Digital coming from the fact that when the bet expires, it finishes at 0 or 1. What you are assuming here is that your bet will win. There are 2 ways the bet will go: (1) Bet £6 and win £9 - great stuff - a 50%...

    Vince Stanzione

    Stanzione is indeed a major shareholder of BetOnMarkets, something which he keeps quiet from his customers but gloats about during "Information Publishing" seminars. Looking at some of Vince's recent bets which someone has shown me, he typically bets £2600 to win £3000 i.e. risks £2600 on...

    My Favourite Ten Books On The Market

    Haven't read any of them! Interesting list in that I haven't read (or heard of) any of those ten! :rolleyes: Guess I should start splashing the cash and reading up on those. I have no excuse really, I spend up to 2 hours on the train each commuting to work so it's not as if I don't have...

    Spread Betting Money Management

    Try Using the ATR of a Market I agree with the 2%, a good amount to risk per trade. A different way to look at it is to determine your stake per point using the Average True Range of the market you are trading. For example: Say you want to trade the Dow. Today the 20 Day ATR of the Dow is...

    Beginners guide to Spread Betting

    Some good advice there. I would especially agree with paper trading first. Capital Spreads offer a free £10,000 demo account: http://www.capitalspreads.com Also, never average down - increasing your position when the market moves against you. It can be a good idea, though, to increase your...
