Module Content

The spread betting modules consist of three levels, Novice,  Advanced and Day-trader.  After completing your initial assessment we will have gained a good idea of what level you ARE at (that is, not what level you THINK you are at) and will be able to recommend the most suitable course available.

Module 3a - Spread betting - Novice

Designed completely for people who have a little understanding but virtually no experience trading financial instruments using a spread bet.  The module clearly and succinctly provides an introduction into the most popular and current tools for trading the financial markets, including Financial Futures, Contracts for Difference, Stocks, and of course Spread betting.

The module explains some of the basic principles you will be required to learn before being able to trade consistently and to achieve consistent returns.

The E-book contains a 50 page course manual which is also contained on the CD-Rom.  The course material covers the following;

3.1  An introduction to spread betting

3.2  Advantages and Disadvantages

3.3  Spread betting platforms and trade execution

3.4  An introduction to the Tradesearcher trading programme

.

3.5  Tips on successful intraday trading and strategies used by the pro's

3.6  An introduction to basic money management and risk management systems.

Module 3b - Spread betting - Advanced

The intermediate module builds on what has been covered in the introductory module but places greater emphasis on developing consistent winning bets using more complex trading strategies.  The course material covers the following;

4.1  Entry/Stop determinants using three of the most common trading systems compared to our own Tradesearcher trader programme.  This provides step by step analysis of how the Tradesearcher programme will specify exact entry and stop levels as well as target levels on all time frames. 

4.2  Trade execution training - how to choose the best trading platforms and what you will need to know to be able to develop your skills as a trader.

4.3  Trade development plan - we provide a comprehensive plan for developing you spread betting trading skills.  As part of the PTS we will be able to monitor your progress and provide the necessary help should you require it.

This is a fundamental part of your development as a trader and one often overlooked by novice spread betters.  Trading in the financial markets successfully requires dedication, commitment and discipline.  Starting as a trader is like starting any other business, you need to know what your goals are, and need to plan how you are going to achieve them over realistic time frames.  Our Trading development plan provides a fundamental framework to being able to develop as a trader and is used by many professional traders as we speak.

Other components include:

4.4  External factors influencing price movements

4.5  Economic/Political events and their impact

4.6 25% discount on the Personal Coaching Service (PCS)

Module 4a - Spread betting - Intra-day strategies

This module is designed for the experienced trader.  One of the reasons we make the effort to find out what level of experience you have before recommending a particular module, is simply because it would be a waste of our time and effort to train people who have not yet learnt the skills necessary to grasp some of our more complex programmes. 

The intraday package comes in the form of either a 2 day course or as a comprehensive training guide on CD-Rom. The course includes a one year FREE SUBSCRIPTION to the Personal Training Service (PCS) where traders will get full support on any aspect of the material covered in the course.

The course consists of an intensive 2 day real time event, where students (limited to 7 per class) are invited to watch our coach's trade real-time using real money.  If we lose, you will see it.  The aim is to show the full trade cycle from initial analysis, trade entry, stop loss and money management execution, to the final 'closing' trade.  On the second day you will be asked to trade using the principles shown to you on day one in a simulated real-time environment where you will pit you trading skills against others in the group.  Remember, all trading is essentially a competition where you are trying to win, and where somebody else normally has to lose.  Learning to compete and compete well is essential and we have found that as well as being fun, trading against some of your peers on the course, in some way replicates the intensity of real trading.

The intensive nature of the Day-trading module means that places and courses are limited.  We strongly advise you book well in advance to reserve your place.  You will also be asked to place a small deposit.  This is to protect ourselves and other course attendees against time wasters.

The Day-trading courses will be held only once a month and will take place on a Thursday and Friday.

Accommodation is not included, but discounted rates for overnight stays at one of either two nearby (four star) hotels are available.  Food and refreshments will be provided throughout the day all students are invited to a meal after the course on the Friday evening if they wish.
