Spread Betting Companies Guide
I was recently looking a changing spread betting companies. To my shock there are about twice as many now as there were when I last looked. At first I thought 'oh no where do I begin?' but then it was obvious that I was in the driving seat. They wanted my custom.
Before we move in to what to look out for I just wanted to think about what the increase in competition in spread betting companies means for me as a trader. Yes the increased competition brings more products, tighter spreads, reduced thresholds etc but why are there so many competing for me? They must be making a lot of money from each of their customers on average. This is something for you to bear in mind when think about your trading career.
Is this the first account that you have opened or do you have another elsewhere and are planning on opening a second? Either way you will be looking for similar things but if you already have an account you will have a head start.
What type of trading do you want to do? Spread betting companies these days offer very wide ranging products so they should offer you what you want. This doesn't mean you can take it for granted. You need to check this out first of all because this is one thing that you shouldn't settle for.
Is it Forex that you want to trade or is it stocks? The great thing about spread betting is that you can bet on almost anything. Spread betting companies are adding more and more markets all of the time but you need to check that they offer the market that you want.
I think the common theme that we have seen is that you need to be sure of your own requirements. Once you have a clear understanding of what these are then you should no trouble finding the best of the spread betting companies.
