The Harriman Book of Spread Betting Rules

As the popularity of spread betting continues to grow, so the number of resources - printed, online, digital and video - grows with it. Educators, trainers, authors and spread betting firms are keen to educate spread bettors and anyone wanting to learn is never short of sources of information.


But sifting through this abundance of material can be daunting - where does one start? And picking out the choicest cuts can be difficult - how do you know what exactly are the most important tactics that good spread bettors should employ and what pitfalls they should avoid?


To assist newcomers and experienced spread bettors alike, Harriman House has compiled this collection of spread betting rules - or top tips - from experts in the field. Our contributors are a varied group, including bestselling authors, education specialists and technical analysts. They have in common a keen knowledge of what is required for spread betting success. In this book they have each provided what they consider to be the ten most important pieces of guidance that will help spread bettors to improve their profitability.


You will notice that some of the experts agree on certain aspects, albeit making a similar point in a different way; perhaps this is to be expected. You will also notice that occasionally some of the rules contradict each other; perhaps this is less expected, but it does not invalidate what has been written! The rules here are not intended to be picked up and followed precisely – there is no single correct approach to spread betting, or indeed any trading method. Rather, it is important to research the various ways others have been successful and then go on to find out what works best for you.


This is why you seek education on spread betting in the first place.


This collection will clarify your thinking so that you can move ahead with your spread betting to more success, more fun and, hopefully, more profitability.
