WAYS TO TRADE

Trading isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. There are lots of ways to trade the markets, some of which are easier than others. Read these guides on the main forms of trading so you can identify the approach that works for you.
In our view, if you’re new to trading, we recommend that you start with spread trading, as it’s the most straightforward way to trade.
MARKETS TO TRADE
Or start by exploring the markets you can trade
There are lots of markets to trade, and choosing one is not a decision that should be taken lightly. You need to know your market inside out for a chance of trading success. That means it’s incredibly important you pick one that captures your interest. If you’re a beginner, we recommend that you start by learning about Forex. It suits a number of different trading styles and the trading costs are low.
