I’ve just been in one of ODL Markets seminar and it was really good. First of all what I liked about it the person who run the seminar didn’t try to push ODL platform at all. He didn’t say things like ‘in our platform’ or ‘our spread is the best’ none of this marketing bull shit. In fact I will try now to use more their platform only because of that. And I feel they gave me something that other didn’t so why not using them?

Anyway Sandy Jadeja is an experienced trader and no-nonsense person. I really like that. He offers some useful tools to use but more importantly he tried to work on the attendance’s attitude. Think for yourself is the motto and I like it very much. He emphasis that all the stuff that we read / hear on the media is crap and if you follow it you are doomed. Again I find it true.

Here is an example of his style:

Bottom line it is highly recommended. Too bad I didn’t have the time to stay after to socialise with the other because I had to run to pick up my son, but the people looked really nice and apart from one who kept asking stupid questions (you always have that one) they all looked serious about trading.

We all know how it is important to have a good platform to use. I recently tried ODL Markets and here is my impression:

Their spread is very good on indexes like DAX, FTSE but on shares they don’t excel on shares. Their share option is a bit limited compared to IG Index but still you can find all the shares under FTSE350 which is more than enough.

I found the platform very easy to use that you can start to use it from the moment you open an account. No learning curve at all. On the other side there aren’t sophisticated tools like trailing stop loss. There is the basic chart tool and that’s it.

On the news I thought it is a bit odd that they dividend section (which is a good idea) has not been updated since Dec 08. The design of the platform is very easy on the eyes (unlike some other platforms) but it has a feel of the 90′s it is not very modern design like Tradefair for example.

The bottom line is very recommended. Easy to use, good spread and easy on the eyes.

Together with ODL Markets they offer to our blog readers upto £200 cash back if you loss within 6 weeks since you open an account.

To get this offer just email to Brian Myers mention you referred by ‘Spread blogging’ and apply for an account. Your account should up and running by less than 24 hours.

Good luck!
