Financial Spread Betting Rules – Ignore The News & Fundamentals

Phil Seaton’s 7 Rules of Successful Financial Spread Betting

Here is part 6 of my rules of successful financial spread betting

6.   Ignore the news & fundamentals

Fundamental analysis is for the most part useless and very few traders can make money using this approach. Even if you could it would take you an inordinate amount of time studying reports, balance sheets, crop reports etc. This is not the way to trade. The same goes for following the news because usually the market has already discounted the news in the price. Many times you will hear very bullish news on a stock and then see it fall over the coming days.

It is also difficult to know what reports/news are actually true, and even if you know what is true how can you be sure that your interpretation of the news is correct? What about timing? Even if you have good reliable knowledge and a true interpretation of the news, how do you know when to act on it?

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 – 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.
