Free Financial Trading Webinars at City Index

LONDON, August 26, 2011 -

Expert-led seminars are an ideal way to learn how to trade the financial markets - unless you do not live within easy reach of the workshop location. Thankfully, City Index (www.cityindex.co.uk) provides free spread betting and CFD trading webinars designed to sharpen your skills without leaving your home or office. The webinars hosted by the company - recently voted ‘Best Online Spread Betting Service’ at the MoneyAM Finance Awards - include:

Webinar: Introduction to Spread Betting

This webinar covers the basics of financial spread betting, using examples to demonstrate how the - currently tax-free* - trading method works. The video also gives an overview of stop loss orders, limit orders and how the leverage involved in spread betting can magnify your profits and losses.

Webinar: Introduction to CFD Trading

This tutorial centres around CFD trading, discussing the advantages of contracts for difference over standard trading and exploring the use of CFDs as a hedging tool. In addition to CFD trading examples, the webinar also explains how to protect yourself against leverage and how to use it to your advantage.

Webinar: Introduction to Forex Trading

The foreign exchange market is the most traded market in the world. Learn all about it with this introductory guide, in which the main features of foreign exchange trading - such as methodology, margins and currency pairs - are summarised.

The advantage of these webinars over spread betting seminars is that they give you the freedom to start, stop, rewind and fast forward your learning at the touch of a button. Your own tailored CFD trading, FX and spread betting education is quite literally at your fingertips.
