Financial Spreads Limited Risk Account
Financial Spreads offer a limited risk account which is designed to help investors with their risk management by placing a Guaranteed Stop order on every new spread bet.
When a client takes a new position, a Guaranteed Stop Order is automatically attached to the financial spread bet. Therefore, should the market move against the client, the trade is guaranteed to close at a pre-specified level.
Many investors like Guaranteed Stop orders because they put an absolute limit on how much an investor can lose but do not put a limit on the potential profit.
According to Financial Spreads, "A Guaranteed Stop Order is a form of insurance against market gaps and they come with a small cost. Of course, when a client has gained some experience with a Limited Risk Account, they can upgrade to a Standard Account where Guaranteed Stop Orders are not mandatory but can still be added to trades."

Financial Spreads Risks
Before trading, readers should note that financial spread betting is leveraged and therefore carries a high level of risk. Spread betting may not be suitable for all investors.
With spread betting it is possible to lose more than your initial investment and therefore you should only trade with funds that you can afford to lose. Ensure you fully understand the risks and, where necessary, seek independent financial advice.
