Capital Spreads was launched with the intention of providing all customers with the best service and some of the best value spreads in the market. The main cost to financial spread betting clients is the spread (the difference between the sell and buy price of a product). The wider the spread, the more costly it is for you to trade.

Low Margin Requirements
Margin is the amount of money you need in your account in order to open a trade. We offer exceptionally low margin requirements across all our markets, meaning you deposit only a small percentage of the total notional value before opening a trade. For example, the Min IMR for the FTSE Rolling is 30, meaning for a £1 trade you need a minimum of just £30 in your account to open it.

Wide Range of Products
Capital Spreads offers you thousands of different products including shares, commodities and metals, currencies and indices. We quote Futures contracts as well as Daily and Rolling Daily contracts. You can make a trade on a variety of these products in just one currency. For further information on the full range of products we offer, please click here.

Responsible Trading with Automatic Stop Losses*
Spread Betting is a high-risk activity, but at Capital Spreads we want you to enjoy your spread betting experience. Every trade you open will have a mandatory/automatic stop loss* attached which is designed to help mitigate losses when you open a trade.
* Stop losses are not guaranteed so are subject to slippage.
24 Hour Trading
Many of our markets can be traded 24 hours a day including the major currency pairs and US indices.
Flexible Orders
Capital Spreads offers you a totally flexible stop loss facility meaning you can amend or revise stops to suit your needs. You can also create an opening order (with a stop loss and limit attached) to open a new position at a different level to where the market is currently trading or a limit order to close a position when you’ve reached your desired profit.
Professional Browser Based Trading Platform
It is not necessary to download any software in order to access either our demo platform or the live trading interface. This means that you should be able to access your account from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection.
Free Charting Package
The Capital Spreads website provides a FREE real-time, streaming charting facility which features both charts and diagnostics on all of our spread products. These sophisticated charts represent the Capital Spreads prices which are derived from the underlying markets.
