Responsible trading
We want you to use our demo account before deciding to trade with your own money
So we’ve made it unlimited, never expiring and free for everyone. It’s a great way to learn how to spread bet, practice your trades, try out new strategies and see how real market events impact prices.
How to spread bet- things to remember:
- Don’t trade with money that you need to live on day to day. If a trade goes wrong it should be a nuisance, not a disaster
- Test out your trading on our spread betting demo account first where you can practice trading on the price movements of companies, indices, commodities and currencies. See our product library for a full list of everything you can trade
- Do make sure you understand the upside and downside of every trade. You may only need to pay a small amount of margin, but the potential gains and losses could be much greater
- Do use stop loss orders to help manage your risk. (You can also set trailing stop losses to help lock in your profits for a successful bet)
Spread betting won’t be suitable for everyone so please make sure that you understand all the risks before you get started. We encourage you to use our demo account before deciding to trade with your own money.
Please do take the time to read our risk warning notice for financial spread betting.
