Get Started with Spread betting
Spread betting offers many benefits that are not available with conventional ways of trading equities. These include the ability to take a greater exposure for the amount of money you put down, the ability to limit your risk through guaranteed stop losses (without putting a ceiling on any potential profit), and the opportunity to make money from falling as well as rising share prices. Tradesense is a new initiative from IG Index: a 6 week instructive programme with the aim of helping investors to understand spread betting and to begin trading with small deal sizes.
