Excuse Me! – which platform is that?

September 3, 2015 by tradingsimply2 Leave a Comment

If you’ve read my articles you should be on your way to understanding spread betting. Spread betting is a relatively simple concept, but of course if it were that simple everyone would be doing it and making lots of money. The key is to start small and practice and practice again using leverage very conservatively in the beginning.

What Next?

First make sure to follow and subscribe to Spread Betting Magazine. This magazine includes some excellent articles every month from a wide range of experts including one of my favourite traders in the United Kingdom, Robbie Burns, aka The Naked Trader.

Next, is to start trading for real; irrespective how many books and seminars you read nothing will come close than the actual trading experience. We’ve teamed up with some of the industry leading spread betting companies to offer you a selection of great places to start trading. The below companies have been around for a while, are well respected within the industry, and of course are regulated by the FSA for your peace of mind.

  • Fantastic range of mobile dealing platforms (Android, iPhone & iPad, Blackberry, Windows)

Why Trade Nation? No particular reason, other than this is the spread betting platform I tend to use, and I trust them.
