IM still learning, in fact I owe much to you and this site, - im slowly building confidence (very cautious). I have certainly learnt a lot over the last 2 - 3 years from HPC where i spotted some of your posts with links to here - greenenergyinvestors.
I found this site very useful for learning spread betting www.financial-spread-betting.com and im sure you all know well that here in the UK there is no TAX to pay on winnings.
Ive come the conclusion that i can make more through spread betting than i can through property speculating or working 9-5 for someone else, although right now i just dont have time to do it properly. Yesterday was good because i had no work - day off sick, indeed i am seriously considering quitting to focus on spread betting. Im waiting a while so i can show a consistant bet history with a minimum gain of £1000 a week.
Currently i get up at 5am to do daily research prior to going to work at 8am - browse the charts to get a feel for things prior to opening for the day, also read the upcoming daily economic events etc.
One thing i find very difficult - and that is not being able to see the screen in the afternoon = no closing of positions until after 5pm.
