A pip is the standard unit of measurement for price movements in trading. The value of a pip depends on your position size. For example, one standard lot of GBP/USD has a pip value of $10. If the market moves 5 pips, this results in a profit or loss of $50.

CFDs expose you to market risk, leverage risk, counterparty risk, volatility and gapping, margin call risk, and liquidity risk. Because CFDs are leveraged products, losses can exceed your initial deposit.

Category: Spread Betting

Spread bets give you exposure to the following risks:

• Market risk – Spread bet prices mirror the underlying asset, so any unfavourable price movement will reduce the value of your position.

• Leverage risk – Spread bets are leveraged products, meaning you can control a large position with a relatively small deposit. While this amplifies potential gains, it also magnifies losses.

• Market volatility and gapping – Prices may move in sudden jumps in volatile markets.

• Risk of margin call – If equity falls below margin level, positions may be closed automatically.

• Liquidity risk – In illiquid markets, spreads widen and slippage may occur.

Category: Indices

Indices trading is the trading of indexes, which are grouped-together stocks for sectors or entire stock exchanges. We offer the ability to trade Indices via CFD or spreadbetting.

When you trade with leverage, only a percentage of the total trade value is required by the broker. The rest of the trade is financed by the broker or financial institution. The leverage ratio indicates how much larger your position is compared to your margin.

This allows traders to potentially gain higher returns with a smaller initial investment. However, losses are also magnified. If the trade moves against you, your losses could exceed your initial margin, potentially leading to a margin call.

For example, if you have a leverage of 10:1, this means you can obtain a position worth 10 times your actual investment. With a margin of £1,000, you could trade a position worth £10,000.

Trades and orders can sometimes be executed at a different price if there is a sudden, large price movement and no tradable price is available at the requested level (a price gap). The difference between the requested and executed price is known as slippage.

This can occur between market close and open or during high-impact economic events.

Developed by MetaQuotes, it is the successor to MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and is widely used by brokers and retail traders worldwide. Please note that Crypto is not available to retail clients.

Category: Spread Betting

Financial spread betting is a leveraged derivative product that allows individuals to speculate on the price movements of financial markets, such as indices, currencies, commodities, Crypto currencies or shares without owning the underlying asset. Clients place a bet on whether the price of a chosen market will rise or fall, and their profit or loss is determined by the accuracy of that prediction and the extent of the market’s movement.

Spread betting can be tax free, Tax laws are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances. Tax law may differ in a jurisdiction other than the UK. Should you have any questions with regards to your personal tax circumstances you should seek independent professional advice.

Spread betting involves margin and leverage, therefore is a high risk product. It is primarily available to residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland and may not be permitted in other jurisdictions. Please note that Crypto currency trading on spreadbets is not available to retail traders.

For retail accounts, maximum leverage is up to 30:1 when trading on a CFD or spreadbet with us. You should therefore manage your risk accordingly and only ever trade using risk capital.

A pending order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at a specific price that differs from the current market price. It has not yet been executed, so it is not considered an actual trade. The purpose of a pending order is for it to be executed automatically once the market price reaches the level you have set, allowing you to enter the market under predefined conditions without needing to monitor the price constantly.

In trading, a position represents your investment in a particular asset. There are two types of positions:
Long position: You buy an asset, hoping its price will rise.
Short position: You sell an asset you do not own, expecting its price to fall.

If a position is still active, it is called an open position. Once the trade has been completed, it is referred to as a closed position.
