Winning Fixed Odds Strategies – Making Money With Bet on markets- Profit From Up, Down Or Sideways Markets. Tag as Vince Stanzione, Vince Stanzione Forex, Finbets.

Fixed Odds financial betting offers a range of ways to back different markets, which I see as a financial toolbox, you just need to select the right tool for what the particular market you wish to back is doing.
Fixed Odds betting has some big advantages over financial Spread Betting especially for those starting with smaller accounts. With Spread Betting you're paid by the number of points you are correct by, with Fixed Odds you can make a large return with the market moving just a few points in your favour. Another massive advantage of Fixed Odds over Spread Bets is that you don't need to worry about using Stops.

Apart from One Touch bets, with Fixed Odds you are buying time, similar to an option, so your bet could be wrong for days or weeks yet by the time expiration comes you can still end up in the money and win. Many traders have the right view on the market but their timing tends to be out and they are stopped out when using a spread bet, only to see their trade move in their predicted direction. By using a Fixed Odd bet this takes away the worries of day to day price spikes.

Here are 8 Top Tips for Fixed Odds Trading (continuation of Part2): 5. Be a disciplined trader not a reckless gambler. After a good run many become over confident and start taking stupid risks. After a poor run many try to play catch up and want to make their losses back fast, both actions are the easiest way to lose your trading capital. Many books have been written on Money Management with complicated formulas. The key should be that no one trade should ever cause you so much damage financially or emotionally. How every sure you are the XYZ is going to rocket, only a percentage of your trading bank should be risked; 6. Run two bets together, trading a pair. Another strategy is to trade two different markets that have a negative correlation. For example, Gold and the US Dollar. Gold is priced in US$ so if the dollar weakens then Gold tends to rise. Gold is also used as a hedge against falling currency values. So you could look to have a Bear bet on the US$/Euro and a Bull Bet on Gold. The Japanese Yen and the US stock markets is another pair that can be traded. You may have heard of the Carry Trade, where the Yen is sold as money is borrowed in Yen and then the Yen are converted and invested in higher yielding currencies such as the New Zealand Dollar. If you look at the Euro/Yen and say the S&P500 you will see that as the Euro/Yen weakens (so money is flowing back to the Yen which is the funding currency)) as does the S&P500. If you see a funding currency strengthen such as the Yen it means traders are taking less risk which is not good for equity markets; 7.Seasonality - History does repeat itself in many markets. My trading style uses technical analysis with seasonality. Most know what technical analysis is however seasonality is not as well understood. Seasonality is using the calendar and past results to forecast the likelihood of the same happening again. For example, Gold tends to be strong in September where as stock markets tend to be weak. Periods around market holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Independence Day and the first few days of the month tend to be stronger. The well known saying, "Sell in May and go away," whilst not perfect, has worked as a good base to a trading system which I used to make large profits in 2008. You will also find seasonality in commodities and some currencies. Watch the Yen strengthen around March time as large Japanese companies close their financial books and tend to put Yen back on their balance sheet; 8. Combine Spread Bets and Fixed Odds. Let's say you have a core view that the FTSE100 is going down and you have placed a spread bet to back this idea. After a week or so the FTSE100 starts going up or sideways, you could of course close your spread bet or you could leave it open and look to place a fixed odds bet to run along side it, maybe a barrier range, so whilst the market is going sideways your spread bet will not be making money but at least your fixed odds will make a profit.

Are you missing out?
Many using Financial Spread Bets or CFD's have a tendency to look at fixed odds as a poor mans options market or haven't treated it as a serious trading platform.

Fixed Odds financials are now over 10 years old and have come along way and offer both small and not so small clients a way to back markets in unique ways. I have personally used Betonmarkets.com since 1999 and have traded a good few million pounds worth of bets during the last few years. I can assure you that it's a serious trading vehicle that can compliment both spread betting and other forms of investing and its popularity will continue to grow. You can open a fixed odds account within minutes and start trading with as little as £25.
