Totally agree. It is these reasons why 95% of traders lose. If you have solid money management and a good strategy, it's harder to lose than it is to win.

as much as you can afford to lose is probably the best answer, even after doing all of your due diligence.
How Much Money Should You Risk With A Broker?

Ok, you are partly correct and partly incorrect. Let's use your example. Say price is at 240 for gbp/jpy. I have a spreadsheet that works out the calculations and it seems 4.15 GBP per point is the best price for the long spread bet position. We use ...

you need a broker that offers trading on gold. I have heard people say oanda offer it with a lower spread. You will have to pay interest on long positions I would imagine.

I totally agree with you BurgerKing. The thing I find quite amusing is many brokers give you trading advice and even suggest entries for your trades! Talk about a huge conflict of interests. How could you even consider listening to a broker who has ...

Looking for Live Index Charts

I'm with WTB here. If you trade for 5 pips and your spread is 3 pips. You need to earn 8 to make 5. You need to win way over 50% of the time, just to break even, let alone make a profit. I'm not saying it is impossible, just that the VAST majority ...

Yes, I noticed this too earlier. I am not sure if it will crash next week or not, I sure hope it does. It would provide some great trading opportunities. I have thought the dow has been overpriced for a while now.. It needs to correct

I should have made this clear before, the Spread bet side must be the long position. If it's the short position it will have the opposite effect, i.e. both sides will lose. Also, play around with the spread bet price per pip, so you get the best ...

They seem ok. One major problem I had with with was they triggered my limit orders when price was nowhere near the order. This was usually caused by them massively raising the spread during the news release. Once I saw the spread on cable at over 20 ...
