Spread Betting With Shares Reviews
Newest Review: ... - if the limit order is activated it also removes the stop order created at the same time very important!! - You could also just place a stop order so that it will take it out at the maximum loss you are prepared to take and you watch the market yourself and manually sell when the value has gone up sufficiently. The market does fluctuate though so it's in my opinion more risky although it can be fruitful if you're not greedy. If you do this make sure you cancel your stop order when you come out of the trade manually.) Direction - Sell (I'm buying in this example so when the value of the market hits my markers I want it to bring me out of... more

I agree with Lisa about WORLDSPREADS the staff are rude and ignorant about the terms and conditions on their website , if you challenge them they say the terms change all the time , but worldspreads does not bother to update the website or inform customers. Their made loads of money by closing down all my open positions without contacting me about the margin call ,on their website the terms of margin call is completely different to what they follow. Therefore DO NOT USE THEM is my strong advise. I will take this matter to Financial Ombudsman Service and to the press if necessary.

So what is spread betting, well I'm doing it right now on a screen behind this review. I will attempt to provide an overview of the principles of spread betting and my experience of it for you. * Financial Spread Betting * Spread betting is a way of trading on a financial market (I trade on three european markets) or a product such as a share or a commodity without actually owning the share. As an investor it allows you to bet on whether the price of say a market or commodity will go up or go down in value. If you think a particular market/share will rise in value then you'd buy into it (this is called going long) and the aim is that ... Read the complete review

Spread betting, or trading, call it what you will, an investment or a gamble, it's not really any better than us sports gamblers, or even poker players. You can lose a lot (as the news has recently lead us to see, a lot can be £3 Billion), by not knowing what your doing, admittedly the banker wasn't spread betting, but was effectively betting on the futures market, which is similar (but instead of buying/selling share prices he was buying/selling futures). So how does spread betting work? Well the bookie (or the trader, in most cases with financial bets) will offer you a buy, or a sell price, a hi or a low if you'd rather see it that way. You will be in profit ... Read the complete review

Spread Betting – How it Works This is how spread betting works. Suppose you want to bet that the share price of Marks & Spencer will rise. Instead of investing, say, £7,000 to buy 1,000 shares at £7 each (paying the broker's commission and stamp duty), you buy a spread bet at £10 a point instead – this means that for every penny the M&S share price rises you will make £10. If the price of M&S shares rises by 10 per cent, your share purchase holdings will show a profit of £700 on your £7,000. But with a spread bet or CFD, your initial deposit 'on margin' will typically have been just 10 per cent of the value of the shares, in this case £700. If the ... Read the complete review
