What should you look for in a spread betting provider?
According to GFT:
“Spread betting is one of the UK’s fastest growing trading instruments, and many traders are making the switch from traditional share trading to spread betting. Spread bets present significant advantages over other types of trading products, including a comparably low cost to enter the market and the opportunity to profit in both rising and falling markets. Moreover, profits gained from spread betting are not taxed as capital gains or as income for residents of the United Kingdom, although tax laws can change at any time.
“When beginning to spread bet, it’s important to find a provider who meets your specific trading needs. GFT Global Markets, a London-based provider of spread betting, CFD and spot forex trading services, offers advanced tools and technologies designed to help you take full advantage of this flexible market. As a worldwide leader in online trading, GFT Global Markets offers you more ways to spread bet, with comprehensive features to fit your trading style and strategy.
More choices, fewer costs
“With GFT Global Markets, you can place spread bets on more than 2,100 financial products, including individual equities, stock indices, commodities, bonds, interest rates and forex. GFT Global Markets is constantly expanding its range of products to include thousands of European, Australian, Asian and U.S. financial markets. The company is a leader in index spread bets, and even offers “out-of-hours” trading on some indices, which allows you to trade stock indices from around the world, including those in Australia, France and the United Kingdom, 24 hours a day.
“When you spread bet with GFT Global Markets, there’s a cost involved called “the spread.” GFT Global Markets offers competitive spreads — as low as 0.1 percent per side on individual equities — and margins as low as 0.5 percent. In addition, you can place guaranteed stops on all indices (for an additional fee), and you can set automated trailing stops and other advanced orders to help you manage your risk and trading equity.
Sophisticated trading, how and when you want it
“With GFT Global Markets’ award-winning DealBook® suite of trading platforms — DealBook® 360, DealBook® WEB and DealBook® Mobile — you can benefit from one-click order entry while trading how you want, when you want: from your desk, from your home, or even when on the go.
“The trading platforms include a wide range of technical tools that can be added to the charts to be used as a guide when placing new orders and applying risk-management strategies. Real-time risk notifications and real-time account information helps keep you aware of your equity status at all times. Advanced order types and price alarms may help you seek to protect your profits and limit your losses, while the visual trading features help you easily adjust open positions, simply by dragging a line. And nearly all of the tools included within DealBook® are fully customisable and suited for a variety of preferences, so traders of any skill or experience level can find the best fit for their trading strategy.
GFT DealBook
“DealBook® WEB is a streamlined, web-based application that’s ideal for the beginner spread bettor. It’s simplistic and accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection. You can stay in tune with the markets even when you are away from home because DealBook® WEB lets you access your account and track and trade markets all in real-time with full-screen charting, integrated news, technical indicators, single-click trading and real-time quotes.
“GFT’s highly advanced desktop platform, DealBook® 360, caters to traders who use technical analysis and other advanced methods for trading. You can place spread bets quickly and directly from the charts within DealBook® 360, so you never have to abandon your charting analysis — even to place an order. And with features built for visual traders, you can easily move a stop or limit order by simply dragging an order line to a new position on the chart. This feature allows you to quickly move when familiar market patterns arise. The charts within DealBook® 360 are designed to let you visually trade and monitor market prices, your open positions, your real-time P&L and daily market highs and lows — at a glance. You can also set price alarms within DealBook® 360 to notify you when the market reaches your specified price, with the choice of being notified via audible alarm, e-mail, SMS text message or a combination of the three, so that you can always stay in tune with the markets.
“With DealBook® Mobile, you can use your mobile phone to place spread bets and access the markets — ideal for the “city trader” who’s always on the move. DealBook® Mobile allows you to place trades from anywhere, with full trading functionality, including a range of order types, the ability to build charts and access your account information, and more. Multiple versions are available, so you can trade from your mobile phone, PDA or BlackBerry®.”
