Spread Betting Technical Analysis for Beginners

LONDON, July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

When spread betting or CFD trading, it is very important to have a strategy in place so you are not just buying and selling on gut feelings. Spread betting and CFD trading provider City Index (http://www.cityindex.co.uk/) offers free seminars on technical analysis, which could form the backbone of your strategy. The seminar, entitled 'Technical Analysis for Beginners' will teach traders how to identify trends in the market.

This seminar is led by the company's Chief Technical Analyst Sandy Jadeja. Over the course of the 90-minute workshop, spread betting expert Mr. Jadeja maps out the best ways to technically analyse a financial market, demonstrating how to chart performance, use historical patterns and focus on trends.

Identifying a trend, whether rising or falling, can be one of the most effective spread betting strategies for new traders. Sandy Jadeja agrees: "Especially for those just starting out, you want to be able to just scroll through the securities on your charting package and pick out nice, smooth charts of movements in one direction or the other."
