What makes our service different?

Stock market trading and spread betting are becoming very popular in the UK. New spread betting brokers are sprouting up everywhere and it is thought that there are more than 200,000 account holders in the United Kingdom alone. And let's face it, there are a lot of cowboys out there trying to sell you the dream of making lots of money without having to work too hard for it - commonly ridiculously overpriced trading seminars or trading systems claiming to make you zillions of moolah overnight. However, there are very few independent unbiased portals out there who aren't afraid the help their visitors make money for the risk of angering their sponsors (i.e. the spread betting companies).

We, at www.Financial-Spread-Betting.com are different. We say things as they are, and tell the truth about what we are seeing when spread betting providers play tricks or conspire against you. We will expose providers if they rush you or clip or change your trades or when they change the goalposts like some brokers did when they increased their margin requirements at very short notice in the midst of the credit crisis. We are also not afraid to say that most retail traders lose money. The aim of our spread betting guide is not only to leave the reader with a solid understanding of the concept but ultimately to help you develop your trading skills to become a successful spread trader.

About Spread Betting: Spread betting is a flexible, cost-effective and tax-efficient type of derivative offering leveraged exposure to and shorting of various financial instruments, from forex to commodities, and stock market and sector indices. Usually you need to provide around 1% initial margin to trade indices and about 10% for trading individual blue-chip shares. The contracts are private bets between you and a spread betting provider - you don't deal in the securities directly and have no legal connection to the company whose share you are speculating on (whether short or long); you are purely speculating on the difference in price between the opening and closing prices of a financial instrument. A bet is placed either by buying the offer price at so much per point moved or similarly selling the bid price. The extent to which the trade moves away from the initial dealing price is multiplied by the size of your per-point bet to arrive at the profit. Of course, risk and reward often go hand in hand and the geared nature of spread betting which makes it particularly attractive also makes it potentially dangerous for the untrained or undisciplined trader.

"Whether you are into day trading, swing trading or position trading. If you are after income - you should consider spread betting as a business. There will be times you put the work in and breakeven and times it will cost you. If you can't accept that, it's the wrong business to get involved with."- Andy
