Like for example if I bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers who are -3 against the Chicago Bears and if I bet on New York Giants who are +3 against the cowboys.

Whether youre a complete beginner or youve already had a go at financial trading or investing in the stock market then I am certain I can help you make more money regardless of market conditions.

Perhaps the most essential discovery we have made is that unless you strictly adhere to the trading rules of your chosen system chances are you will only reinforce the statistic that over 90% of traders lose all their money trading and never trade again.

You might say, “Well that does not quite describe me. I make money but then give it back again. I keep swinging back and forth between gains and losses, sometimes I am up and sometimes down and by the end of the year I just about break even.” Well, then obviously you do not have a successful spread betting uk system that consistently delivers positive results. Few traders who continue to make and lose money trading can continue to do this and tend to give up after a couple of years. This is tough when you delight in trading, but nobody enjoys losing money time after time after time no matter what system is used. What is more, nobody likes to fail and so you keep thinking, “I will try one more system and the more I learn the more successful I will be.” Well, if you are like me then you could lose your shirt in the process. But also, if you are like me you might finally perserver to the point in your research and experience where you find a system that truly works. I want to help you side step the “losing your shirt” process and go directly to “the system that works”.

I know this does not seem possible after all that you have experienced, but could you consider the possibility of a system with a proven track record that allows you to trade for say 15 minutes a week and not only makes money but generates enough money to allow you to do whatever other job you wish to pursue or to simply give up work all together?

Imagine how relieved you would feel after years of constantly losing money to eventually find a spread betting system that had been verified and tested to show an average 160% profit a year for the past 26 years – 1504% in the last year alone. You are forgiven for being skeptical. Why wouldn’t you be? But, if you will permit me to present the facts of how this is done you might see just how this system makes perfect sense.

Our research over the past ten years has shown us that there are seven rules of a profitable financial spread betting system and the system that we are presenting to you today has all of them:

1) Trade with the Trend, Never Predict Tops or Bottoms

A person’s natural tendency is to look for a bargain. In spread betting, there is no such thing as a bargain. Always buy strength and sell weakness. This goes against everything we have grown to believe, but this works. When was the last time you bought HIGH and sold LOW, but I can assure you successful traders will always buy HIGH and sell LOW.

“This is the most vital lesson you will ever learn.”

2) Let Your Winners Run, Never Exit a Trade Early.

Never ever exit a trade if you reckon that the price has reached the maximum or if you reckon the price is at the minimum. Trying to predict Tops or Bottoms will significantly reduce your profits, which in the end will cost you significantly and could result in failure.

“Profitable traders always depend on huge winners.”

3) Never Trade “Fundamentals” or “News Related” Trades Again.

Fundamental analysis is generally useless and very few traders can make money spread betting using this approach long term. Perhaps the most damaging aspect of fundamental analysis is that it does not allow you to control risk.

Typically as the price moves further away from your belief, i.e. you thought the market was a “buy” at the current price, but instead it drops still further, so then you reckon it must be an even better “buy”. The market then drops again and it looks like a better buy still and so it goes. If you were trading correctly, you would have cut your losses before they got out of hand because you would know that you were incorrect.

4) Stick to a Spread Betting System, Consistency Is The Key To Success.

If you have a spread betting system that generates trades and you choose not to place a particular trade because you reckon it is not a excellent trade (over analyze or try to “second guess” the sytem), do not be surprised to find you just missed the most profitable trade of the year.

If you use a system never try to predict a trade, it is always better to take a small loss than it is to miss out on the largest profit taking opportunity for the year as this could be the difference between a profitable or a loss making year. Why choose and pay for a system if you reckon that you know more or better?

“This is the second most well loved reason why traders fail to succeed.”

5) Cut Your Losses.

The majority of trading systems fail by neglecting to cut losses. The key to consistent profit making in the markets is that your winning trades must be larger than your losing trades. An fascinating and perhaps, alarming, aside is that this trading system really has losses on 60% of all trades, but because risk is carefully controlled throughout the system by a carefully calculated limit on the amount you can trade based on your portfolio and precisely placed stops, winning trades have been consistently larger than the losing trades. Our spread betting system really made 1504% profit in 2008!

“Remember successful traders keep losses small and let winners run!”

6) Never Add To a Losing Trade.

This is the most common mistake made by traders, generally once you start to add to a losing trade you find yourself “throwing excellent money after terrible” believing that the market has had to have reached the TOP or BOTTOM. Unfortunately you can never predict the top or the bottom and, in many cases, end up losing a lot of money to the point where you may not be able to recover.

7) Most Vital Is Money Management.

The key to success is regulating how much to place on each trade. Unless the market is “TRENDING” never risk more than 2% on any one trade. Therefore on a £10,000 account, 2% means each trade can only risk £200.

Always recalculate the 2% amount for each trade every week before placing any new trades this is because the new account balance will have went up or down. For example after one week the account may be up by £2000 to a new account balance of £12,000 so the new 2% amount to be risked on each trade would now be £220 and not the £200 per trade for last week.

“Money Management is vital to your SUCCESS.”

I heard of alot of people talking about spread betting and wanted to know what is it all about?thanks

The advantage of spread betting, as opposed to buying shares, is that it offers one of the simplest ways to bet on markets moving downwards, as they have in recent months. Moreover, bets are free of stamp duty, while any gains are not subject to capital gains tax (CGT).

Most regular readers will be fully aware that the best way to enhance their trading account is to trade with leverage. In days gone by, the only way to leverage an equity position in the UK market was to buy or sell individual share futures or take on a call or place position with options. These days it would seem that the undisputed heavyweight for the trading community are the fantastic derivatives like spread betting and cfds. That is all well and excellent for small-term traders and spread betting is certainly an instrument that most of us can use to fantastic success with the speculative part of our portfolios, but every individual should have a multi-faceted approach to wealth creation – above and beyond solely trading.

Spread betting is a useful vehicle for the occasional down-bet although I have to admit I am not an advocate of small-selling. I feel that the very high profile loudly shouted aggression with which some ’shorters’ hit a completely undeserving share these days is destructive and its effects are sometimes very long-lived, long after the small-sellers have taken their profit and gone. Folk get frightened, and if a stock has just been hit, won’t buy for dread it will happen again. In the medium term, a company can be so severely hurt that it can’t raise funds other than at fire sale prices, and suffers even more because investors have lost confidence in it.

But, there are situations where a stock gets so far ahead of itself that it’s daft. A down-bet can be useful here if you are convinced that the share is about to be re-rated in a downward direction. I have tried it numerous times and in most cases it has worked a treat!

Also, one can use spread bets as a way of adding to an existing long-term holding at a lower cost than buying more shares, rather than betting on small-term stock market movements, let alone ex-divs…

So well loved have these products become that they have been estimated to account for more than one third of total trading volumes on the London Stock Exchange. CFDs and spread bets are deals between the client and his or her broker so do not themselves go through the exchange, but the hedge that the dealer puts in place to cover his position does result in an exchange trade.

This shift away from share trading to dealing in derivatives concerns some observers as it takes takes liquidity out of the cash market, particularly for smaller stocks. Gavin Oldham, chief executive of the Share Centre, a retail stockbroker says ‘They say it is backed up by the [hedging] business that goes through the stock market but the volumes are netted off.’

At the retail level spread betting is growing quicker than CFDs. Anyone who spread bets thinks they are going to win so they don’t want to pay the tax and in the UK there is no capital gains tax on spread betting gains. Because you do not hold a contract (share) but bet on the outcome makes it a gamble. Otherwise the procedure is very close to trading via a futures broker. All firms are regulated in the UK (unlike Forex). People that fail at spread betting will most likely fail trading via a conventional futures broker. If you live in the UK and are not into scalping for ticks, then spread betting can be a lot more beneficial due to favourable tax laws, which indeed can change tomorrow, next year, after 10 years, etc.

There has been a go among retail investors over to spread betting from CFDs but few go the other way. Among institutions no-one uses spread bets because the corporate pay tax.

I’ve been using the free simulator on Capital Spreads. Seems to me to be a excellent system, but I’ve not seen or used any other company’s site.

So, is this site a excellent site compared to the others? How much difference is there in each company’s spreads that they offer?

How do I know that the spreads being quoted to me by the company are competitive at any given moment? (ie. what’s to stop a company showing me spreads on my screen/account that are maliciously adjusted to take account of my open positions)
