The sad fact is that you will most likely lose money, I don't know what you've been told about spread betting but very very few people make money and if they do its after years of practice. If you look at it as a form of entertainment (like some people view gambling) then fair enough. If you think you are going to get an income from it you are sadly mistaken.

Have to say I agree, and its certainly the safest viewpoint to take.

15mintlb has come in a bit hard there.
If it's just "doing a bit", then keep it that way, and use it as entertainment.
Maybe build some online buddies.
Keep your mind sharp.
But, as per the opinions of the more experienced, this is no easy skill to acquire.
And you wont be making tons of cash straight off.
Be wary of courses, and "experts".
But have fun.

Such as?
What, urgently needing money?
Do you seriously recommend someone new gambles money they can't afford to lose?
Trading, without knowing what you are doing, without a plan and
with zero knowledge is never the lesser of two evils.
Even with the above there are no guarantees.
This post is for his benefit, I don't care if you agree or disagree.
I agree, but I wonder why that is? The trend is visible, in hindsight, and I have never subscribed to the view that spreadbetting firms are seriously bent.
The fact that a loser loses, instead of winning must be that he made a mistake, but the mistake was his, not the bet taker's
I am still with the same firm since SB went online. The trades that I make are at the same level as every one elses---within reason. If I had the slightest doubt about them, I would have tried another firm. I think that the problem lies with the trader, himself. He hangs on too long to a losing trade in the hope that it will reverse.
Most of the complaints that I read about, here, are unreliable and unconvincing.
I do believe, however, that intra day trading is random and that a small move in one direct will result in a reversal as the market goes back and forth like a road roller, taking out the 5 point stops.
I have gone, as I am sure that most of us have, within 0.2 points of a stop without getting triggered. In fact, It happened and I commented on it last week.
Anyway, OP is 75 and I am nearly 81. This keeps the adrenaline flowing and I keep my stake size at a low level. My advice to him is enjoy it and don't get in too deep.
This is just me, rambling on.

I suppose whose 'fault' it is that nearly everybody loses money is an argument for another day. My point is that this is fact and the OP is highly unlikely to ever make money and if he thinks he will be needs to reconsider.
Yes, the truth, according to Boyle, seems be that trading is unprofitable for most and that OP is, probably, incapable of making a correct assessment in his own case. How he arrived at this point is beyond me! Do you think that he could be part of the 5% who have arrived with enough money to be able to afford to trade, or gamble, part of his money safely? There are some of us in that situation, you know.
All the evidence I have ever seen published points towards the vast majority losing money. I believe John Forman is doing phd research on the subject, though perhaps that is fx based. So if if just entertainment or gambling go ahead, if you're going to remortgage the house thinking you'll make 10% a month on your money then think again. I have seen more than one person do that, you can guess how it ended.

Did your Walter Mitty persona utter that childish outburst or was it your other persona in that confused reality you and Walter inhabit
