One key feature for many spread bettors is City Index's "commitment to price transparency that gives you a level of price and execution certainty that is invaluable in trading financial markets". Put another way, City Index:
Stream tradeable prices through their online and mobile platforms. This lets you act on the latest price movements in real-time
Offer firm quotes up to "Our Size". This provides certainty that for every spread betting and CFD market that City Index trade, they will deal at the quoted prices for any trade within that size
Accurately base their prices on the underlying financial instruments. This helps to ensure that your trades will result in the profit (or loss) that you would expect
