Financial Spread Betting Rules – Money Management

Phil Seaton’s 7 Rules of Successful Financial Spread Betting

Here is part 4 of my rules of successful financial spread betting

4.    Money management.

Money management is the continuation of the 2 previous rules. This rule regulates how much you are prepared to risk per trade when you open a trade. This means you know exactly how much you stand to lose should the worst happen and the trade go against you (although in some rare instances a market may gap through your stop forcing you to take a larger loss than you had planned for. Fortunately this does not happen very often, especially if you stick to trading highly liquid markets as I recommend.)

Financial Spread Betting Rules – Cut Your Losses

Phil Seaton’s 7 Rules of Successful Financial Spread Betting

Here is part 3 of my rules of successful financial spread betting

3. Cut losses

This is where most traders and trading systems fall down. You must cut your losses. You must never move your stop loss back when the price is approaching your stop loss to keep you in a trade in the hope that the price will turn around. Occasionally this may happen but over time you will lose more money. In some instances this style of trading will usually lead to you taking such a large loss that you cannot recover from it.

Financial Spread Betting Rules – Let Winning Trades Run

Phil Seaton’s 7 Rules of Successful Financial Spread Betting

Here is part 2 of my rules of successful financial spread betting

2. Let Winners Run

When trading the markets, we never exit a trade at the top because there is no way of knowing where the top is in advance. You can only ever tell where the top was in a market after the event. Many times a trade will get so high and you will think it cannot go any higher only for it to continue on and on and on. Sometimes markets go on such long trends that it defies reason. A trend can go on for months or even years.
