Thanks William. I have heard of spread betting but know absolutely nothing about it. Need to do some more reading up on the subject - thanks anyway.

Cheers

IG markets is for CFDs and IG Index is for spreadbetting. The difference is that in UK you don't pay taxes for betting.

Hi srmfx,

Do you use technical strategies for this kind of digital trading?

If not, how do you choose positions/entries etc?

Sorry if these questions are naive but this type of trading is new to me.

Technical analysis is only for filtering the trade. Most entries are based on options analysis. I trade the volatility rather than price although sometimes I have directional positions.

Hello srmfx!

Very nice thread! Follow (read) with great interest!!! I always do think that price action as order flow (AKA following big money flow) is a base of everything what we call trading. Price... Price is all what we should care to consider while we are trading...

Thank you for sharing your opinion with us here at FF forum!

Thanks dim4ik42,
The market is order flows and if I think that it is something else I can't change it. Just go with the flow. Now I pay attention to the forward points and the options IV an risk reversal. They provide me ot valuable information which is understood only by the professorial market participants and it is almost impossible to be manipulated.

I'm a complete novice in this regard, I see below that you also mention Options IV? Not too sure what that is either.

Are there any resources you could recommend to learn options analysis, or is that a stupid question ?

Hello Mr srmFx

I am new to forex trading. I stumbled across your thread at FF. I find it very interesting and useful. You mention * Tape reading* in your post. how do you do that?
As I checked my demo MT4 plateform and could not figure out, how can I do tape reading.
I will highly appreciate your reply.

IV is the implied volatility (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied_volatility). You can find a lot about the options in the net.

Absolutely! Today's EURUSD trade was based solely on the risk reversal. To put it simply the difference of the prices of the call and put option (actually it is the difference of the IVs of put and call with the same delta). Puts were more expensive than the calls which was telling me that the spreadbetter expects downside move. In principal, the price pf a binary option shows the probability the price to hit a certain level.
