InterTrader Account
With an InterTrader account you also get:
MetaTrader 4: MT4 is one of the most popular trading terminals, it combines sophisticated analytics and trading tools with a simple interface. It was independently developed as an integrated forex trading platform. Through InterTrader you can use MT4 to trade forex, stock market indices, commodities and treasuries.
24 Hour Trading: the dealing desk operates 24 hours a day for major markets like the FTSE 100, EUR/USD, crude oil and gold (Monday - Friday).
Dealing spreads may be wider in out-of-hours trading, however, this added flexibility offers you the ability to get both in-and-out of positions as the markets change throughout the day and night. You no longer need to wait for the opening bell.
Live Squawk: the text and audio commentary lets clients stay in touch with market headlines throughout the day. Users can also access research and video summaries through the Live Squawk service.
Technical Analysis and Trading Signals: daily analysis covers target levels, and stop levels, for a wide range of stock market indices, commodities, forex, shares and treasuries markets.
Heatmaps: colour-coded-at-a-glance guides to market hotspots.
Low Margins: the spread betting company offers consistently low margin rates and this provides you with a trading advantage. Low margins allow you to commit less capital for each position you take.
As an example, you can place a £1 per point FTSE 100 Rolling Daily spread bet with an initial deposit of just £30. Deposits start from just 3% for FTSE 100 shares and from 5% for FTSE 250 and US shares.
Trailing Stops & Guaranteed Stops: investors can apply trailing stops to all markets. A trailing stop is an order that is designed to limit your risk whilst helping to lock in your potential profits.
There is no fee to use a trailing stop, however, they are a form of stop-loss and stop-loss orders are not guaranteed.
For a small premium users can opt to add Guaranteed Stops to their trades in order to protect them from any market ‘gaps’.

As well as a comprehensive financial spread betting service, InterTrader offers contracts for difference (CFDs) on more than 2,500 markets.
Like spread betting, CFD trading is leveraged, so an investor does not buy the physical shares / take a stake in the underlying market, and they do not put up the full value of the shares that they are trading.
With CFDs the main trading costs are normally the commission and the spread (the difference between the sell and buy price). Naturally, this means it costs more to trade with brokers that have wide spreads and high commission levels.
The CFD service is commission-free and they also offer some of the tightest spreads in the market place. E.g. the spread on FTSE 100 shares is 0.05% per side of the underlying market.
With InterTrader, investors trading CFDs can also benefit from:
No stamp duty*
Trading an exact quantity of shares or lot sizes
Low minimum margin rates
Note that the leverage with CFD trading means that whilst your profits are amplified, your losses are also amplified. Therefore, like spread betting, CFD trading carries a high level of risk to your capital and it is possible to lose more than your initial investment.
InterTrader Charts
As you can expect with most financial spread betting companies, the charts come with:
Different displays e.g. candlestick charts and line charts
Tools for adding features e.g. Fibonacci arcs, time zones and fans
Numerous intervals e.g. by the tick, 1 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 1 day, 1 week etc.
The InterTrader charts are useful though because they also come with more advanced features like:
Customisable Indicators e.g. BackTesting and Optimisation functions
Important pre-set overlays e.g. Moving Averages, Ichimoku Clouds, Envelopes, Bollinger Bands etc.
Over 30 indicator charts e.g. MACD, Historical Volatility, Chaikin Money Flow, Forecast Oscillator, Volume Index, Range Indicator, Commodity Channel Index etc.
Customisable alerts i.e. email alerts which trigger when your chosen market reaches a pre-determined level
