Hi,
I am wondering if there are any traders here who spreadbet equities using P&F and/or swing techniques - and how you actually trade.
My problem is that I think for dailys - the overnight spread charged in a rollover would be too costly over time - so that leaves me looking at futures.
In general, I plan to hold a position open until the chart looks unfavourable to my position or it is stopped out - there's no time limit.
So my question - for those of you that do swing trade equities through spreadbetting - what do you trade (e.g. dailies, futures, options) - and how do you set your stops.
Setting the stop on a daily is easy - if you are bullish you set your stop at the point where a lower swing low would occur on the chart - how would you apply this to a future for example?
Any opinions appreciated.
Thanks.
