Spread betting enables you to open a position with a small deposit known as margin. While this isn’t actually a cost to you, it can make a big difference to the affordability of your trade.
Your key payment for trading is the spread – the difference between the buy and the sell price, our charge for executing your trade. Our spreads are among the lowest in the business.
