Risk warning

Trading carries a high risk of losing money

CFDs and spread bets are complex products and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly because of leverage. Most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Think about whether you understand how they work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Green, amber and red ratings come from back-tests on 2020 to 2026 prices, after typical broker costs. Real results can be worse, because of spreads, slippage, news and how your broker fills orders.
A setup that worked in the past can stop working.
Only practise with money you can afford to lose, and start on a demo account.
