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.
