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.
