LONDON, October 15, 2011 - In the last decade, there has been a clear shift in the profile of the average trader. Joshua Raymond of spread betting provider City Index (www.cityindex.co.uk/) considers how backgrounds have altered over time. "Ten years ago, the standard spread bettor would be 45 years old, male and have actively worked in the city. Today, they are slightly older at 48, still male and with a share dealing background but their backgrounds are much more diverse."
