What is Financial Spread Betting?

Financial Spread Betting allows you to trade a wide array of markets online from a single trading account.  Benefit from the ability to go short as well as long and hold your positions for as long as you want – a couple of minutes or several weeks, depending on your trading style. When Spread Betting you do not need to put up the entire value of the trade to be able to open a position but instead can enter the market by only providing a fraction of your position value as margin in your account. This leverage means that small movements in the price can translate into big profits but equally if the trade goes against you your losses are magnified as well.

Financial Spread Betting is now a mainstream way to trade the financial markets. You pay no commissions or other fees when you trade and all profits you make are free of capital gains tax.

Advantages of Financial Spread Betting versus traditional Stock Investment

– You pay no commissions on your trades.
– There is no stamp duty or capital gains tax.
