I want to talk a little about stop losses. Stop losses are a crucial part of any spread betting strategy. If you think that I am going to give you a lecture on them... you are dead right.

As I mentioned in my last post we need to take a step back and consider our spread betting strategy. A major part of that will be the bet type. There are a number of bet types that you can use and some are more suitable for different aspects of financial spread betting than others.

What are your betting spread strategies? I hope that you are clear on this. I don't believe that you will be successful if you can't clearly explain your strategies in one short paragraph.

Here is the first in the series of my spread betting companies guide. This part is about practice and dummy accounts. While this is more suited to the newbie, they do have their uses for the experienced trader.

I have been planning a series on how to choose which out of all the spread betting companies. I am really pleased with it and will be releasing it over the coming weeks. It will cover all aspects of how to select the right spread betting company for you.
