More Spread Betting Tips
Most investors have a set of rules to guide their trading. Here are some of the more common spread betting tips:
Spread Betting Tip - Develop a Trading Plan
It is always important to have a trading strategy. Planning which markets you are going to trade, setting achievable goals and understanding how much money you are willing to risk can often help you make more informed decisions.
Spread Betting Tip - Trade the Markets You Know
Try to trade the markets and sectors that you are familiar with. If you have little experience of the commodities markets but have a good appreciation for the UK equities markets then you should be better off spread betting on UK shares
Spread Betting Tip - Try a Demo Account
It is often worth trying a spread betting practice account (also called a Demo Account). These are free accounts with virtual funds.
If you are less familiar with financial spread betting, or perhaps you would like to test your theories on specific markets, then some practice may help you understand the risks and rewards as well as the various types of trading order, market volatility etc.
You can sign up for a Free Demo Account with spread betting companies like Financial Spreads.
Spread Betting Tip - Don’t Trade Too Many Markets
Try not to trade too many markets and positions at once, it can be difficult to judge your overall risk. Naturally, making intelligent, informed decisions on a large number of concurrent spread bets can be problematic, particularly in volatile markets.
Spread Betting Tip - Know Your Limits
As part of your trading strategy, you might have considered the amount of capital that you are willing to risk on each trade.
Adding Stop Loss orders to your trades can help ensure that a trade is closed if it reaches the level you specified for the Stop Loss.
This helps you stay within your pre-determined risk limits.
Also, note that not all Stop Losses are guaranteed.
Spread Betting Tip - Deal with Your Emotions
It can help to acknowledge that you won’t turn a profit on every trade.
It can also help to accept that after you lose a spread bet you might be tempted to ‘chase your losses’ ie place some poorly researched spread bets in order to recoup your capital. These new trades are more likely to lead to further losses.

With spread betting you can lose more than your original stake or investment. Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital so please familiarise yourself with the risks that are involved and, before trading, ensure that spread betting matches your investment objectives.
