Trading Basics
Bottom Fishing

Other Trading Basics
Cash or Spot Market
Also known as a spot market, cash markets are different to futures contracts, as commodities are traded immediately for cash at the current market price.
After-Hours Dealing
After-hours trading involves buying or selling securities outside of specified trading hours.
However, trading after hours may offer less liquidity, as fewer traders are operating at these times and spread betting firms may offer wider spreads as fluctuations can occur during these times.
