Services to enhance your spread betting skills
Spreadbettrader.co.uk offers two main premium services to website users: The Market Timing Update and The Short Term Trading Skills Course.
Further details of the services are provided below.
The Market Timing Update presents my analysis and market forecast two times each week, giving precise details on market timing with indications of trade entry and exit points for spread betting positions. The Market Timing Update offers exceptional value. You get pin-point market analysis and forecasts across a range of financial markets including global equity markets, currency markets, and commodity markets…more than enough coverage to meet the needs of even the most active traders and spread betters out there. Why you should subscribe to the Market Timing Update todayI’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that there are countless numbers of ‘gurus’ out there trying to sell you the latest ‘secret discovery’ that opens the door to total financial freedom or to turn you into a millionaire in 6 weeks or some other similarly ridiculous claims! Unlike 99.9% of those ‘gurus’, I put my money where my mouth is! As regular visitors to this website are aware, I present free analysis of financial markets outlining profitable financial spread betting opportunities for free! See for yourself below how well you would have done just based on these free market calls alone. Then imagine how much could be done with more frequent, more detailed analysis of several major markets, two times each week—as opposed to two times a month. However, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!
Check out the charts below to get an indication of the precision of the analysis that goes into the Market Timing Update: Actual market calls—real life trade examples Previous Analysis of the Dow Jones Industrial Average The chart of the Dow as at the close on Friday 14, March is presented below:

Basically, the chart looked scary and the mainstream financial media including popular investing magazines were all talking about immediate further downside and even market crash! Well, the editor of spreadbettrader.co.uk saw things differently—very differently! In the edition of ‘Spread Betting Opportunities’ posted for free on this website on Monday 17th of March, I highlighted the underlying bullish momentum in the equity markets and noted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was within touching distance of strong price support levels. I concluded that analysis by stating that: | Overall, the evidence suggests that the Dow should move lower towards 11730 early in the week. In the event of such a move, a bounce would be highly likely from around 11650—11730. | Mind you, at the time of writing that analysis, the Dow was still at 11951.09. Well, a day or so after you got that email, the Dow had indeed traded to that price support level and within a week, the index had bounced off strongly (just as expected) and was trading a few hundred points higher. As at Friday 4th of April—about 3 weeks after I sent you that message—the Dow was trading at over 12600: a gain of over 650 points from the day that edition of ‘Spread Betting Opportunities’ was published!. | If you count the gains from the price support area outlined in that analysis, that’s over 850 points of spread betting profit. That’s a lot of money irrespective of how much one actually bets per point!. | P.S: It is very easy to make a bullish call when the market is in full upswing, or to claim to be a bear when the downtrend is crystal clear for even the novice trader to see! What is difficult (and consequently much more profitable, is to go against the grain, to defy the consensus view and make a bold call—and to be proven correct, time and time again.
|
Let’s take another recent example! Previous Analysis of the FTSE 100 Index The FTSE100 had ended the week of April 4 in very bullish mode. Indeed, the Footsie’s gain of 55.8 points that Friday culminated in a weekly gain of just over 254 points in all. The chart of the FTSE 100 as at the close on Friday 4, April looked like this:

However, as I have stated on several occasions to the subscribers to the Market Timing Update, the appropriate time to make an exit from a profitable long position is when things still seem very bullish to the majority of traders out there. Of course, you need to be able to accurately analyse the markets to determine the right time to make the call! In the edition of ‘Spread Betting Opportunities’ posted for free on this website on Monday 7th of April, I stated that “
From current level of 5947.1 (Friday's close), the index should move higher towards resistance at 6000-6035. However, the anticipated pullback should see the Footsie move lower to 5800 in the first instance, with a move to around 5700 likely thereafter... In addition to highlighting the potential for a pullback in the Footsie, I concluded that analysis by stating that: A move towards 6000 early in the week ahead may well present a profitable opportunity for a short term short position on the index.

Here’s a yahoo image showing what the chart of the Footsie looked like—just five days after I made that bold spread betting call:

A crucial point to note here is that while the index itself lost closed at 5895.5 on Friday 11, April for a loss of over 51 points over the week, the real profit is substantially more since the market call was for a short from price resistance at around 6000 which was expected to present a good shorting opportunity. Indeed, the high for the week was 6016.3. A short from 6000 would have resulted in a gain of over 100 spread betting points profit by the end of the week How much is over 100-point gain in less than 5 days worth to you based on the number of pounds-per-point that you bet in your own trading?
Yet more real life, actual trade examples Previous Analysis of the currency markets: Cable ($/£) In my analysis of the Cable in the Monday February 18 2008, edition of the Market Timing Update (which was sent out to subscribers on the preceding Sunday evening), I concluded by stating that:
” In the short term, the upside appears capped around 1.97 and the move lower to retest 1.9395 is now already underway."
| At the time of writing that, the chart of the Cable looked like this:

Indeed, a few days later, the Cable hit the anticipated price target. By the end of trading on Wednesday February 20, the chart of the Cable looked like this:

That was over 140 spread betting points (or pips) of profit…in a couple of trading days! Having enabled subscribers to the Market Timing Update to enjoy substantial profits from the sharp decline in the Cable, in my follow-up analysis of the $/£currency pair in the Thursday February 21 2008, edition of the Market Timing Update (which was sent out to subscribers on the preceding Wednesday evening), I warned of an impending bullish move in the Cable, stating that:
” I have closed out my short position in the Cable (Wednesday) as I now expect another attempt to bounce off the current price area...the underlying market dynamics appear be changing and the Cable may stage a sustained rally from around current levels."
| I followed that up by writing that:
”1.9768 is immediate upside target and the market reaction at that price resistance area would indicate whether the ongoing rally has staying power. The technical evidence at this point indicates that it does and suggests that the Cable should trade at 1.9950 and possibly higher around 2.01 in the sessions ahead.”
|
Indeed, less than two weeks later, the chart of the Cable looked like this:

Note that the low in the Cable came in at 1.9394—my forecast was for 1.9395! Now, that’s pin-point market timing at its very best!
