Platform

As with the vast majority of platforms these days, Trade Nation offers a proprietary web based platform that is accessed online with no need to download any software.  It offers access to a wide variety of tradable markets including commodities, indices, individual shares, bonds and much more.  Although market choice isn’t as vast as with the likes of IG, there is certainly enough variety to keep most traders entertained.  Within the platform you can take advantage of a number of risk management tools including limit orders, stop losses, guaranteed stops and trailing stops.

Not only is Trade Nation’s platform available online, there is also a mobile version that allows traders to open and close bets, amend positions, monitor prices and view an array of data from their smart phones and tablets.

Spreads

If you are looking for a company that offers tight spreads on some of the most popular markets then you are in luck.  Trade Nation offers 1 point on rolling contracts on UK 100, DAX and Wall Street shares.  Euro/Dollar is also offered with  a one point spread while Brent Crude Oil is tradable at 4 points.  As ever, we would recommend you highlight the markets you are expecting to be trading and research the competition to make sure you are paying as little in spreads as possible.

Education

Many spread betting companies are currently improving their educational offerings and Capital Spreads are one of these.

The best way to learn how to trade is through experience by using a demo account – something that is on offer with Trade Nation.  The account comes with £10,000 of demo money that can be used in the same way as real money.  The only difference being that your bank account won’t be emptied if a trade goes against you!

The company also offers monthly webinars that cover a variety of subjects to help you fine tune your knowledge as well as a research and data centre providing a whole host of information.
