This thread is to cover one of the most important topics for those involved in financial spread betting or any other form of trading.
Let& #39;s be honest and see 3 most common reasons why many lose and what part spread betting plays there.

1. Over-leveraging.
Probably the most common mistake out-there - don& #39;t over leverage; yes, potential returns might be tempting but you want to use spread betting as a trading platform rather than a gambling one so keep your leverage in check.

2. Over-trading.
Over-trading is another common mistake novice spread bettors make. Don& #39;t trade just for the sake of trading but spend more time learning and analysing your potential positions. More learning = more profit.
3. Emotions.
It& #39;s one thing to trade on a demo account where you don& #39;t really care if you win or lose but try to test a platform and maybe your strategies but it& #39;s totally different when you trade for real and your money is on the line. Try to control your emotions.
