JKane is posting lots of similarly aggressive diatribes in many other posts. Methinks JK has forgotten to take their daily medication

They display outputs of random behaviour , but I think that oscillates around identifiable objective trends of non random behaviour.
So a chaos is always present, but so is order.
Ordo ab Chao !
So what jkane? Most traders are uninformed when they start out - they blow up their spreadbetting accounts within a few weeks. But not because they're using spreadbets, its because they don't learn the craft, partly becasuse they think its easier than it really is. If they don't get past this, they would blow up whatever vehicle they used.
Its not wrong to be ignorant, but it is dangerous to stay ignorant.

So do some people who trade by spreadbetting. The difference is that their profits are tax-free (if they live in the UK).

First, your statement is factually incorrect: it doesn't override it every time. It overrides in some people's circumstances but not in those of others, depending on several variables. What matters, in this context, to a professional trader is the overall cost of doing business. There are large numbers of people whose overall costs are reduced, and their profits therefore increased, by using spreadbetting. This is simply factual and incontrovertible.
Secondly, throughout this thread and in countless other posts you've made in this forum, your perspective is "informed" by out-of-date beliefs you have about the sizes of the spreads and a lack of consideration about what you're comparing them with. In some circumstances you're quite right that the dealing-costs will be higher for those using spreadbetting (e.g. than for those dealing directly, in size, in an underlying market). In other circumstances (and these are exactly the circumstances of many members of this forum), the spreads are not necessarily higher when compared with trading via (for example) a retail forex broker.
There are threads in this forum from as long as a decade ago in which the perceptions you so regularly display here are debated in detail, with carefully worked illustrative examples proving them to have been mistaken, ill-informed and prejudiced even as long ago as that. They still are now - and all the more so, in fact. It's very easy to imagine that one is "thinking through an issue" when in reality all one's doing is re-arranging one's own prejudices.

Most people lose because they have no discipline. Can't control their emotions. and don't stick to the rules of trading or risk. It has absolutely nothing to do with the spreads.
Seriously if I blow my account are you saying I can blame it on the 1 point spread on the DAX.
You make no sense

Why trade with a Forex only broker? I have found that Interactive brokers provides the best rates; however, they also have some of the steepest requirements. They provide direct access interbank Forex quotes with 1/10 of a basis point. The commissions are 0.08 to 0.2 basis points times trade value.

It usually costs no more $2.00 to $25K worth of currency. The best thing about it is that you can withdraw the currency into the bank. There is no longer any need to go to a currency exchange.

He probably watched a 15 minute Webinar by some "guru" saying all markets are random, and he took it to the heart. Americans are gullible like that. We love our media.
