 Position Traders
 Position traders place spread bets for the long
term, holding trades for weeks or months on end.
This style of financial spread betting relies on the
trader understanding the long-term fundamental
trends of a stock by using daily, weekly, and
monthly charts to determine the market’s eventual
direction.

 Day Traders
 Day trading means never holding your spread
betting positions for longer than a day – and
certainly never overnight. Day traders tend to
place numerous spread bets during the
day, focusing on narrow spreads and markets
with plenty of movement. Spread betting in this
way can be time-consuming and requires close
market analysis to select appropriate stocks and
prices.

 Swing Traders
 For the swing trader, spread betting is about mining
the markets to find stocks which have the potential to
move significantly in a relatively short space of
time, which can be anything from a couple of days to
a couple of weeks. Swing traders are similar to day
traders in that both seek to profit from a financial
spread bet with a fast turnaround.
 Whichever technique you choose, back up your
trading decisions with extensive research and
