  • You could have a look in the "Savings and Investments" section of the forum, there are plenty of ideas in there. Rather than just posting the question as you have above, take some time to read down the existing threads as there are many, many variations on the same theme. I noticed (but haven't read) a recent post on a particular trading platform, for example.

    Forex trading generally gets short shrift on this board, not least because the main reason people are interested in it seems to be because of the endless supply of young people on Youtube who claim to have made millions from trading and, for a small fee, will teach you how to do the same. And you'll have guessed that much of their income comes from that small fee, and there is little (not none, I stress) likelihood of you making much out of it.


    Another option might be to look at Matched Betting - there is a separate section of the forum covering this precise subject.
