Introduction to Spread Betting (Webinar)

The advantage of this webinar over a seminar is that it gives traders the freedom to start, stop, rewind and fast forward their learning at the touch of a button. Their spread betting education is quite literally at their fingertips.

The events focus on stock indices, commodities and forex and are aimed at both beginners and experienced traders to help you to identify upcoming potential trading opportunities.

The City Index demo account is incorporated into the seminar and is another effective way for traders to improve their spread betting skills by using a virtual amount of funds to 'trade' the real markets.

Technical Analysis for Beginners with Sandy Jadeja(Seminar)

This seminar, led by the Chief Technical Analyst of City Index, is designed to help traders recognise low-risk spread betting opportunities through the use of technical analysis. As well as covering his own research on where he believes the markets are heading in weeks to come, Sandy Jadeja demonstrates how to set up your charts and understand the indicators and settings required for a trader to form their own personal spread betting style.

The 'Technical Analysis for Beginners' seminar is held at City Index's London offices, where attendees get the invaluable opportunity to practice real-time simulated trading under the tutelage of City Index's team of financial spread betting experts.
