Hi

A couple of quick tips for you today.

26. The spreads firms are your friend! Well that may not quite be the case but they will try to ‘assist’ you. They want you to learn how to spread bet. Well you’re not much good to them if you don’t know how to spread bet. One way of learning handy spread betting tips is via their Free Seminars. Naturally this helps the spread betting companies open new accounts but in return they can give you a few pointers. It’s give and take.

27. If you’re interested in Spread Trading Courses where you are paying for the privilege of attending then ensure you check the credentials of company running the course and the trainer themselves. Before going on one of these it may be worth going to some of the free Seminars before any paid courses. If you pick up some useful tips, hints and tactics at the free seminar that should help you:

a) Get more out of the paid-for course (because you’ll have a stronger knowledge base and therefore you should pick up more detail)

b) ask more appropriate questions at the paid-for course. Questions that are more relevant to your area of trading eg Forex or FTSE 100 spread betting

Capital Spreads are currently running a couple of free courses – I don’t think you need to open an account to go on one. But that can change. See Capital Spreads for details.

Good luck
