Financial Spreads are now offering Guaranteed Stop Loss orders on their spread betting platform.
Until now, clients had been able to speculate on the markets knowing that their trade was protected by a stop loss. A stop loss order will still be available, and is still automatically added to all spreads bets with the company, nevertheless now, for added security, the spread betting company are also offering Guaranteed Stop Losses.
Guaranteed Stop Loss - Added Security
As mentioned, the firm already provide stop losses, nevertheless normal stop losses don't guarantee the point where your trade will be closed if the marketplace gaps.
For instance, let's say that you purchase the FTSE at 6000, and you set your stop loss at 5980. If the UK index were to 'gap' and drop to 5970, then your trade would be closed at 5970, instead of at 5980.
This is simply because the index didn't trade at 5980, and as a result the firm didn't offer that prices level. The next price that was offered was 5970, and as a result your trade would be closed there instead.
Let's take the exact same example but rather than filing a normal stop loss order at 5980, you file a guaranteed stop loss order at the exact same level. If the market gapped again and dropped to 5970, your trade would be closed at 5980, as your stop loss was guaranteed.
Note that as Guaranteed Stops are a form of insurance against market gaps they come with a small additional price. Firstly, there's a minor premium to pay for choosing a Stop to be guaranteed and, secondly the Guaranteed Stop needs to be placed further away from your entry level than if it was a non-guaranteed Stop.
Guaranteed Stop Loss
Adam Jepsen, spokesperson for Financial Spreads, says that the new function will permit clients to trade with greater confidence. "We've been working hard and have a major new addition on our spread betting platform: guaranteed stop orders," he said.
"We take our customer feedback seriously and are extremely pleased to announce we are rolling these [guaranteed stop orders] out because of client demand.
"Guaranteed stop orders allow you to trade with complete confidence that you'll be protected against any market slippage or gaps by being filled at the level you've specified."
