    Health and Trading

    I find it important not to sit too long in front of a screen without a break. So I try to discipline myself to take a few minutes break about every hour. Some stretching exercises, a walk round the house or any change of scene helps keep me alert. I also find a recommended technique of...

    Sharescope

    It's the speed of manipulating data in many different portfolios in Sharescope EOD which makes me prefer using it to portfolios I hold on web sites.

    New to Spread Betting Help Me Pls !!!

    Hi David, If you are new to spreadbetting, I would recommend starting with FTSE350 shares rather than indices, as statistically beginners have been shown to have more chance of success this way. People get drawn to the indices because the spreads are narrower, but IMHO it is far harder to...

    Best Thread Capital Spreads

    Thanks Capitalspreads for your explanation and Dentist007 for your reply. There will clearly be quite a difference with how dividend when the rolling daily bets are available. I have been trying out the Capital Spreads simulator over the past few weeks and I like the platform. I find it easy...

    Best Thread Capital Spreads
