Financial Spread Betting Guide
This guide is for anyone who wants to start to learn about trading spread bets. Today, there are many courses offering you to learn day trading and spread betting (some online, some on DVDs, some in class). Some of them are very expensive. Well, we have a lot of free material in here and we do not charge you a dime! If you’re new to trading, I would recommend getting started with this free spread betting trading course. There’s enough free material, trading examples and resource links to keep you busy learning the basics and beyond for some time; so you don’t have to start out paying for expensive training unless you really want to.
When the Insight Support spread betting course was originally written years ago, I had no idea that it would become the most downloaded guide on Financial Spread Betting. To date, as I sit here updating the courseware, over 200,000 downloads of the free guide, from all over the world have been requested from the server. I’m now working to publish the entire contents of the course on this section of the website.
