I am currently 18 years old and I have just opened up a live spread betting and CFD's account with CityIndex.

I am looking to do spread betting on individual stocks as my market to trade of choice.

I do watch Bloomberg and I discovered something last week that if you follow news releases on stocks, and whichever way the stock moves in because of the effects of that news release, either negative news = down; (-red%), or positive news = up; (+green%), you just follow whichever way that stock moves in and you stand a good chance to make money. Isn't this the best way to do spread betting on stocks? OR, is there a better way to do it and make money? How do most experienced spread betters of individual stocks do it and make money?

All advice welcome, thanks!

well a trading system that one of my mentors advocates for trading stocks is to allow an hour of trading after a news release and then get in in the direction of the trend. This is basically one way, there are lots of other ways and no one way is the best way; what is best is what works for you!



Another simple trading system is to have two exponential averages crossing each other. For instance an exponential moving average of 5 and 13 is used on the charts. The 5 exponential moving average is the lead line, stock traders buy or sell if it goes above or below the 13 line. When the markets are in a solidly trending, this strategy works quite well, however in a ranging market, heavy losses will be incurred.

Well, here's my thought process on the stock markets and index investing. It's far far too risky. Rule number one, never invest money you can't afford to lose. If this is all the money you have, DO NOT put it in the markets. Are you wanting to be a day trader or "investor". There's a BIG difference. Investors are in for the long haul, make sure you know how to read a balance sheet and evaluate it properly. If you are day-trading, then you gamble every day. Yes, you can make a lot of money, but you have to be comfortable losing it too. Just think, if you are 30 seconds late, it can be the difference between making 10% or losing 20%. There are stocks that go up and down, you have to be really in tune with how the market cycles. It's all timing. In the past year or two, the markets have been very volatile, lots of money has been made, and lots has been lost at the exact same time. The stock markets are more global now than ever before. Be prepared to work with foreign markets too. If you have been following things for a while, did you see how the markets dropped with announcements of Dubai being in their situation and no one is willing to bail them out? Wall street and main street are so far disconnected now, it's crazy. You really have the same odds in the stock market as you do on a roulette table in vegas.

Hi, yes the best way to bet on stocks are to follow their movement very closely. Read some forums and see what industry experts are saying about the rise and fall of stocks.



For example when dollar goes up, gold normally goes down. Be very careful and don't try to push your luck for the first few bets. When you think that youare about to loose money, just stop the bet or place a stop loss on every bet. It is really easy to loose money without experience in spread betting as stocks move rapidly everyday.



Fact said that there are only 10 percent of spread bettors in the world who actually make money. I would suggest that you open a demo account and be very comfortable with that first.

Here you will find a step by step guide which will hopefully give you a better and deeper insight into how it is possible for you to make money from Binary Options trading https://tr.im/vUvMh



You will first need to know what exactly Binary Options trading is, whilst this may seem like common sense many people just have a vague idea of what is involved and the exact risks attached to any trade, so make sure you fully understand the difference for example between actually buying a fixed asset and trading in Binary Options as the two could not be more different.



Next you will need to become something of an investigative journalist when you start trading in Binary Options and by this we mean you need to have a nose for a news story that is going to have a dramatic effect on whatever it is you intend to trade, and one way for you to do this is to keep fully abreast of all the daily financial news stories as this is the only way you are going to be able to make an informed decision on the movement of any Binary Options you are trading.

Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.

Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.

However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?

The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.

Learning a profitable trading strategy is possible, You should watch this presentation video https://tr.im/03f02

It's probably the best way to learn how to win with binary option

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/4ed13

I have been trading over 31 years using over a hundred different systems, but as you might guess only few of them showed consistent profits. This is one of them https://tr.im/rTvCM

What's most important is that they really cares about his fellow traders. Every time I have a question he is here for me, and he replies to emails really fast.

the best trading software http://tradingsolution.info

i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.

if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.
