Spread betting allows you to speculate on the price movements of an asset without owning it. With Taurex, you enjoy benefits like no currency conversion fees when trading assets such as US stocks, tax-free profits, and the security of FCA regulated (entity/broker)and negative balance protection. Simply predict and place a bet on whether the price will rise or fall, with your gains or losses determined by the accuracy of your prediction.
Leverage & Margin
Spread betting is a leveraged product. That means to open a position, traders only need to deposit a small percentage – called the margin – of the full value of the spread bet. While this enables you to open larger positions with a smaller initial outlay, it also means that both gains and losses can be increased. Therefore, it's important to manage your risk effectively.
Spread Betting Explained
When you engage in spread betting with Taurex, we quote two prices: the bid price and the ask price.
You predict whether the price of the underlying asset will increase or decrease.
You then place a bet with a specific stake per point movement of the asset.
As the price moves, you will gain or lose multiples of your stake for each point it shifts.
Spread Betting vs CFDs
Spread betting and CFD trading are similar trading products, offering many of the same benefits. Both involve leveraged trading, allowing you to speculate on price movements of an underlying asset without owning it. Leverage can amplify both gains and risks, so managing your risk is crucial. A key difference between CFDs and Spread Betting is how they are treated for taxes.
Spread betting is a way for traders to speculate on the price movement of financial instruments including forex, shares, commodities, metals and more.
