Hi
Does anyone know a site where I can get free live prices for UK shares? Yahoo and the likes offer a 20 minute delayed price.
Secondly, does anyone have any insight to strategies with spreadbetting? eg combining a spreadbet with a CFD or having 2 or more positions open on the same share but at different sharebetting companies.
Has anyone had any technical analysis speculating tips that have worked for them.
Thanks
No free ones except where you have a trading arrangement. Try
Yes I do it all the time. Common strategy would be a long-short strategies on industries, companies, markets etc in order to focus on the risk you are interested in. e.g. you like BP but think oils will underperform you would perhaps buy BP sell Shell and other oils or the sector index.
CFDs are only good for larger sized positions about 5k up because you have to pay commission. Also good for long term positions. Smaller positions can be taken by spread bets which are rolled over as no commission. You do not need to combine the two or even at different companies. You can open as many positions as your finances allow at the same company. They do not care.
Very funny. If someone had found a fool-proof strategy they would own their own island and trade from there.
