My Quest for Knowledge

I first cut my teeth in the Square Mile in the winter of 2002. I was young, fresh-faced and straight out of university; keen but maybe a little naïve about the way the investment world really worked… A few years ago I discover a whole new world of opportunity: spread betting on the financial markets.

Anyways, I hit the local store and started reading as much as I can. It’s surprising how little number of good books cover spreadbetting. So I started browsing on the internet and searching for spread betting material. Finally found a one that I had actually heard about before called: Financial Spread Betting – A Trader’s Guide. The slightly simple cover art disguised the true brilliance of the content within. After a quick skim through the first few sections I was sold.

So here it begins, my attempt to make a killing off spread betting.

Naive? Perhaps. But as Ralph W. Emerson said: ‘Every artist was at first an amateur’, and I sure am attracted to the world of spread trading!

No need to reinvent the wheel

Hey, if it’s good enough for trading professionals then its good enough for me. After all, this is I’ve started researching on the subject.

Why bother making foolish newbie mistakes when I can learn from the mistakes other people have made? If the authors have the knowledge, skill and ability to publish a site about it, then I’m sure they’re doing something right! I’ll try to follow the tips, concepts and strategies used by the best and see if this whole spread betting thing actually works.

So here goes my trading diary…
