    Episode 6: Understanding the Advantages of Trading CFDs
    Dec 30 2021
    A CFD is a Contract for Difference in which a product is exchanged without the physical thing being traded; thus, it is a derivative product in which trading occurs through price movements in selected shares and stocks. When trading CFDs, there are transaction expenses. The CFD value is calculated in relation to the underlying stock's price, and you benefit or lose money based on its movement. Advantages of CFD Trading Leverage CFDs are gaining popularity as a trading instrument due to their ability to be leveraged up to a 10:1 ratio; certain CFDs offer a higher leverage ratio of up to 20:1, depending on the type of CFD. This means that a modest float might produce significant outcomes when trading CFDs. However, trading results are frequently exaggerated; hence, a method that generates a given size loss over a year without leverage may be tripled with leverage. Leverage can magnify the effects of CFD trading on a linked leveraged amount. CFD with a short or long duration Many are familiar with the short or long term trading choices available in CFD trading. Many CFD brokers allow their clients to go short on the majority of CFDs, while others offer only a limited selection. Taking a short position in CFD trading can boost your trading success by allowing you to profit from both increasing and falling stock prices. As a result, you profit regardless of market performance; whether a bear or a bull market exists. Brokerage of CFDs While CFD brokerage incurs commissions, they are significantly less than those associated with conventional stock or share trading. Brokerage is a term that refers to the process of placing trades with a professional broker for a fee. Reduced time frames Leverage and shorting CFDs make it possible to trade in smaller changes depending on underlying stock prices, which means you can profit without keeping your CFDs for an extended period of time to earn a fair return. However, some fixed trading costs, such as the broker's commission, may be incurred. Automatic loss stop CFD trading is more advantageous than stock trading for the retail trader since CFD positions have an automatic stop loss option. This option enables you to automatically exit trading in order to halt your losses. Placement of evening orders Another advantage of CFD trading is the possibility to place orders in the evening after work, even if the market is closed. You are not need to constantly watch your trade orders once you have established your requirements online, such as placing CFD orders, stop loss orders, or other activities. CFD Types The most often traded CFDs are stock CFDs and share CFDs, which are traded on a variety of venues.

  • Episode 5: 3 Simple Steps to Get Started with Spread Betting

    Episode 5: 3 Simple Steps to Get Started with Spread Betting
    Nov 10 2021
    If you've been looking around on how to start spread betting, then look no further. In this episode, I'll be showing you exactly what to do and what not to do when getting started. Speaking from my own experience, it can a very daunting task to find out where to begin, especially with all the information out there about financial spread betting. Here, I'll show you how to pick the right broker and more importantly, how to find the right guidance when you're learning how to start online financial spread betting. The first step on how to start spread betting is simply learning as much you can about it from the right person or people. They can either be from books, brokers, products, friends/family members who are traders or what I strongly recommend, financial spread betting seminar programs. They will essentially be your guidance and mentor in your spread betting pursuit. In my experience, having a trading mentor" gets you there much quicker than doing it on your own. A mentor will tell what works and what doesn't, saving you lots of time and grief. In trading, learning on your own is fine but going through mistakes can be quite costly, especially since spread betting is highly leveraged. So, look for a mentor who's been there, knows what they're doing and obviously has been very successful at it. In the long run, it will save you lots of money. With the advent of the internet, smart phones and tablets it's made it easier for people to trade anywhere at any time. There are literally thousands of online spread betting companies around the world and hundreds of trading mobile apps available. So how do you choose the right broker? This is where your mentor comes in, because with their experience they can give you some good recommendations. The benefit is that they would know all the pros and cons between different spread betting brokerage platforms, thus narrowing and making the choice easier for you. So, if you're learning how to start online financial spread betting without the help of a mentor in this area, you'll end up experimenting with multiple broker platforms and waste a lot of time. The final step is simply getting started and choosing your markets to trade. Again, this is where your mentor comes in as they'll be able to advise you on which market has been successful for them and which hasn't been. Whether your mentor has is more fundamental-based or technical-based, their knowledge and experience is absolutely crucial here. It's best to learn what's worked for them and do the exact same thing to see if you produce the same results. That's the key to success. Once you get the hang of it, you can start to move to the markets of your choice. At that stage, you'll likely come up with your own strategies and tactics on trading. Knowing how to start spread betting comes down to getting the right mentor and guidance. It may not be easy to find one at first but there's no reason not to look. There are many spread trading guides on the internet that can get you started or alternatively, attend a financial spread betting seminar near you. Getting the right mentor is the difference between a successful trader and an unsuccessful one.

    Episode 4: How Does Spread Betting Work?
    Oct 28 2021
    So how does spread betting work? When it comes to online spread betting, there are a lot of websites which can provide just the necessary information and guide you through making money by making assumptions. Spread betting is a way of making money without actually owning the investments in a direct manner. Once you place a spread bet, you have access to prices and their movement on the financial markets, being able to trade currencies, shares, commodities, indices or equities all over the world from only one account. The best websites provide you with the latest spread betting offers and also give a number of reviews of the best spread betting companies so that you are fully informed on who you are working with, as well as insights on the situation on different markets so that you can move accordingly and know how to take advantage of different situations and movements. Also, these websites provide you with tips as far as online financial spread bet is concerned and teach you how to get real-time prices. Also, you can find different trading tools for free and how and where to spread bet on highly important markets, such as the index market, the shares one, the currencies one or the commodities market. Spread betting can be financial or it can apply to other domains, too, such as sports. Sports spread betting has become extremely popular lately, not only in the United Kingdom, but all around the world. Virtual spread betting has become more than just a way of making some money. It has become a fun way of making money, combining material satisfaction with the personal one. Of course, there aren’t only advantages about spread betting as both sides have something to gain, not only the bettor. When it comes to option spread trading, things get a bit more serious once again. There is a strategy which is created when option contracts of the same kind are bought and sold. First of all, you can have a debit call. A debit spread is one created when the option trader registers a loss after buying and selling premiums. There are two kinds of debit spreads, these being the bullish and the bearish ones. When a person deals with a loss because of the option premiums, we are dealing with a put debit spread. When puts register a premium loss, the one who invests money is bearish, the bear market being the only one on which puts can gain value and then be the elements of a successful strategy for the investor. When someone buys and sells call contracts and there is a net premium gain, we are dealing with a credit call. In this situation, the trader is interested in the options expiring, so a trader becomes bearish on the market if working call options. Last but not least, you can have a credit put, fit for earning premium gains and become bullish on the market. The best result a trader can obtain is when the premium credit represents the gain and the market doesn’t fall. This is how financial spread betting works in essence.

    Episode 3: Introduction to CFD Trading
    Oct 18 2021
    A contract for difference (CFD) is an agreement for exchange of the difference in the value of a currency, equity stock, or a commodity product between the times in which the contract is valid. CFD trading is the new, easier, flexible, and far more sophisticated way to invest your capital. CFD trading is a geared product and provides investors with unprecedented trading leverage opportunities. Designed as a financial derivative, a CFD gives the investor the potential to invest in a wide array of investment tools in a variety of markets. With CFDs, the trader can discover profits by trading on the price movements of securities and indices. It also enables the trader to invest in different market conditions and makes it easier to hedge positions. CFDs provide a flexible platform for trading in various commodities including foreign exchange. A trader can make profits in two ways - buying a currency when it is expected to appreciate or selling when its value depreciation is anticipated. Forex trading with CFDs allows the trader to consider the buying price as the base price. The trader need not worry about the least or the maximum value of the currency pair. As CFDs are highly leveraged products, the trader can open positions that are almost 20 times the margin money deposited. Sometimes the leverage options can go as high as 500 to 1. One should be wary of opening up highly leveraged positions which may be difficult to cover. It may result in diminishing the initial capital. CFDs are subject to an alternative tax treatment as it does not result in actual acquisition of the underlying instrument being traded. The trader receives only a contract, similar to the futures. CFD trading is gaining popularity with investors across the world. This is because of the ease and flexibility of operations and the variety of instruments on which a trader can trade with a contract for difference.

    Episode 1: The Trading Mechanics In The Forex Market
    Jun 24 2021
    Depending on the global market conditions, the currency exchange fluctuates on account of several other factors resulting to changes in the exchange rates of different currencies. Investors or traders take advantage of these fluctuations similar to what is being done in the stock market. Just with stock trading, investors attempt to make a profit from the fluctuations (https://www.independentinvestor.com/forex/why-currencies-fluctuate/) by buying a certain currency when it is at its lowest and selling it when its value increases. Also known as the forex (foreign exchange) market, currency exchange operates on a global scale through a worldwide-decentralized financial system. This decentralized market allows for financial centers to be located in different countries that offer services around the clock from Mondays to Fridays. Simultaneous buy and sell In each foreign exchange trading transaction, a simultaneous buy and sell has been made, that is, purchasing a certain currency automatically results to a corresponding sale of another currency, hence, the term exchange. This scenario is different from a typical stock market transaction wherein buying 1000 shares of Google would simply mean that the investor owns that 1000 shares and simply waits for the value to go up before selling it. The major paired currencies Due to the nature of how the currency exchange is carried out, the traded currencies come in pairs. These pairings combine two different currencies being traded against each other. In theory, all types of currencies from different countries can be traded in the foreign exchange market. However, only those currencies belonging to countries with bigger and stable economies are typically traded. Seven major currency pairs involve the United States dollar on either side of the deal. Using ISO formalities, the most common currency pair is the EUR/USD, which trades the currencies between the countries in the European Union and the United States. Its long name is equivalently the Euro-dollar. The second most frequently traded pair is the USD/JPY, also known as the Dollar-yen, which trades the currencies of the United States and Japan. The British pound sterling (GBP), the Swiss franc (CHF), the Canadian dollar (CAD), the Australian dollar (AUD), and the New Zealand dollar (NZD) constitutes the remaining five major paired currencies. The major paired cross-currencies When the US dollar is not included in the exchange, the pair is referred to as a cross-currency. Six cross-currency pairs are actively traded in the currency exchange market. To take advantage of the high liquidity of the market, investors exclusively consider the most actively traded pairs and disregard the others.
