The main cost to financial spread betting clients is the spread (the difference between the sell and buy price). The wider the spread, the more costly it is for you to trade. Capital Spreads offers some of the tightest spreads available compared to the competition, making it easier for you to trade profitably.
For example, our spread on the FTSE 100 shares is just 0.1% - that's just 0.05% per side of the underlying market. See table opposite for more of our tight spreads.
Spreads vary out of normal trading hours.
Low Margin Requirements
Margin is the amount of money you need in your account in order to make a trade. Capital Spreads offer exceptionally low margin requirements across all our markets, meaning you only deposit a small percentage of the total value before opening a trade. Deposit just £30 into your Capital Spreads account to open a £1 Rolling Daily FTSE trade or 3% on FTSE 100 equities and 5% on FTSE 250 and US equities.
Limit your Risk
At Capital Spreads we want to help minimise the risks of trading. That’s why every trade has a stop loss automatically applied to it, giving you protection if prices move against you. However, please note that these stops are not guaranteed which means that we will fill you at your requested stop level, unless the market gaps.
Range of Markets and Contracts
With Capital Spreads you can trade on over 2,500 different products, including Global Shares, Commodities, Currencies, Indices, Bonds and Interest Rates.

You don’t need pockets as deep as the North Sea to trade with us. You can start from as little as £1 a point on any of our Indices, Shares, Currencies, Commodities and Bonds.
