Nature and Nurture in Financial Trading
LONDON, September 27, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Does what you learn about spread betting outweigh the trading traits you
inherit? Or is an individual's trading style a result of nature triumphing
over nurture? Award-winning financial spread betting provider

looks at what makes a trader a trader.
Nature
Several financial trading experts believe genetics have a significant
part to play in an individual's approach to spread betting. For example,
female spread bettors tend to outperform men on the trading platform. Sandy
Jadeja, Chief Technical Analyst at City Index, suggests that this is due to
an innately careful, considered approach which leads female traders to
undertake thorough risk management and market analysis
[http://www.cityindex.co.uk/learn-to-trade ].
There is also a belief that female traders ask for help more than men,
who might be too proud to take advantage of the wide range of spread betting
seminars and guides available. This instinct for self-improvement could help
to explain why women tend to outperform men in financial spread betting.
Nurture
City Index offers a wide range of seminars and training programmes
designed to hone your trading skills whatever your level of experience.
Topics covered in these workshops include everything from the basics of
spread betting to charting and technical analysis.
This training is designed to separate your emotions and instincts from
your trading platform. By knowing your entry point, exit point and objective
for every spread bet before you place it, there will never be any need to
make a spread betting decision in the heat of the moment.
Strong market analysis is an important feature in spread betting. For
example, when spread betting on British Airways shares, if you know that a
spike in crude oil prices may result in downward pressure on BA shares, you
can react quickly and correctly to the relevant news activity. Understanding
how markets move is invaluable, and this is obviously something that has to
be learnt over time.
Conclusion
So, is financial spread betting more about nature or nurture? As is
often the case, the reality lies somewhere in the middle. Who you are and
what you know both have a significant part to play in your spread betting
development. The most important thing is to find a balance that works for
you and maximises your trading potential.
