The Financial Spread Betting Handbook by Malcolm Pryor
This book is strongly recommend this book
to anyone who is planning on starting spread betting. Malcolm Pryor writes in
an easy to follow style without being patronising or verbose. He covers
everything that a novice needs to know in order to make the decision about
whether spread betting is going to be for them. He offers practical advice with
an emphasis on risk management and suggests some trading strategies which are
simple to understand.
Good is the way he continually refers to the
characteristics of a successful spread better compared to those of someone who
isn't. For this reason I would also recommend this book for someone who has
been trading for a while but would like to improve their win ratio.
The
book is full of helpful tips and each chapter has a concise summary of the
points made. The chapter entitled "Common and Really Expnsive Spread Betting
Errors" is a real gem and worth the price of the book itself. People gain much
from reading this book and I am sure that others whether novice or experienced
traders will also be impressed with its clarity and comprehensive coverage of
the subject of Spread Betting.
