Bullbearings isn't that good for demoing a lot of stuff. I recommend GFT, get a demo account first and learn on that. Try not to risk more than 2% of your account on any one trade.

Open an account with IG Index (www.igindex.co.uk)

If you day trading, bet using the daily index bets.

If you holding for weeks or months use the index futures bets.

Errr, click Sell rather than Buy when you place your spreadbet. Yes, it is that simple. I make £9K a day, before breakfast. You cannot lose!

Stick half on red, half on black & repeat. Youll double one half every go and you'll never lose!

Great, what's the EPIC code for the FTSE 100 index then?
