What is spread betting?

Spread betting is a popular, tax-efficient way to speculate on the price movements of global financial markets without owning the underlying asset. Whether markets rise or fall, spread betting offers the potential to trade in both directions. 

Spread betting is also traded on margin through leverage, allowing you to maximise your market exposure by controlling larger positions with a smaller initial investment. However, it’s important to remember that while leverage can amplify profits, it can also magnify losses. 

With Trade Nation, you can trade on various markets, including forex, indices, commodities, and shares, all with competitive low-cost fixed spreads.
