Advantages of Spread betting
- Financial spread betting profits are tax free*. Profits from financial spread betting are not subject to income tax, capital gains tax or stamp duty. What's yours is yours.
- There is no commission when you trade online using your financial spread betting account. Unlike many online share dealing services there is no £10-£15 cost per trade
- Wide access to markets giving you more flexibility to spread trade on different markets of your choice. This provides a wide range of investment opportunities
- Leverage allows you access to good slice of the action without having to deposit large sums first (be careful though - this facility can get you into trouble if you are not calculating the potential downside of losing bets)
- It gives you the added advantage of being able to profit on markets that are decreasing in value
Factors to consider when spread betting
Financial spread betting companies can provide you with a spread betting account. You should read the terms and conditions in detail. All firms offer deposit accounts, some also offer spread betting credit accounts. If you are relatively new to spread betting or would simply like to lower your risk levels then you should opt for a deposit account eg like the standard account available at FinancialSpreads.com. This will help keep you out of trouble by reducing the size of your trading positions.
You should consider using a stop loss account which helps minimise your risk. This type of account basically minimises your risks by automatically closing your bet once you reach a certain loss level. Note that "automatic stop losses" are not guaranteed. If the market moves quickly you may find that your spread bet is closed out at a different value. Again the FinancialSpreads account is one place to start as is offers automatic stop losses.
It is essential to complete thorough market analysis on the products that you would like to trade on. Go into your chosen market with your eyes open ie make sure you calculate your worst case scenario.
