21 August seminar fullPosted in Conferences on 04/08/10

My next whole day seminar on spread betting being held on 21st August in London is full.

There is one more seminar definitely planned for 2010, I have booked the venue for 2nd October, and a number of the places have already been allocated (maximum attendance is twelve).

An increasing number of people are returning for a second attendance (or more). Every seminar starts with each attendee stating their learning objectives for the day, and I then adapt the seminar to match those learning objectives. As a result each seminar is different, although the broad structure and the large workbook are constants.

Seminar 21 AugustPosted in Conferences on 11/07/10

There are still a few places left at the next whole day seminar on spread betting, being held in London on Saturday 21 August.

Attendance is capped at 12 to encourage a fully participative environment. There is a broad structure for the day and a large workbook, however I adapt each seminar to match everyone's learning objectives for the day, which is the first thing we look at.

Attendees can pick any learning objectives they want, but usually they are chosen from the following main areas:

Set up and resources for spread betting - shopping for the best on the market
Markets and products available - pros and cons
Account operation, practical issues, street wisdom, share experiences
Using technical analysis for market overviews, entries, exits, determining bet size
Strategies for trades, generic ingredients, specific strategies for different markets
Risk control, methods and techniques
Planning and monitoring, approaches and techniques
Developing a winning attitude, continual development

In the last couple of seminars there has been a lot of interest in exit techniques, whether to exit at targets or not, whether or not to trail stops and if so how. Over the last couple of years I have also seen an ever increasing interest in day trading and in trading foreign exchange.

Trading conferencesPosted in Conferences on 18/07/08

I spoke recently at the IX Conference at the Excel Centre. A number of people have asked me since what happens at this sort of gathering.

There are 3 main things

1) you get to hear various speakers on a range of trading topics (my talk was about the differences between the winners and the losers at spread betting)

2) you get to see a range of relevant products (software, spread betting platforms, tools) and talk directly to the suppliers

3) you get a chance to meet fellow traders.

Trading can be a lonely game, and sometimes it is good to get out and about.

Most of them are either free if you book early, or relatively inexpensive.

Look through the list of speakers and suppliers to find the most interesting ones.
