Information is your key to profits. Read news, analysis, articles and reviews on a regular basis to learn about market trends. Most leading financial spread betting companies provide informative online spread betting tips and spread betting strategies on their websites. Apart from these, some also offer you 'what if' games and simulation software where you can trade under real conditions, with virtual funds. These help you understand trading without risking your money.

Monitor stock movement frequently. If you are a day trader, you will need permanent access to real-time stock market data. You can often get real-time share prices via your mobile phone or PDA. Some mobile and PDA applications also allow you execute trades.
