One of the key advantages of trading with spread bets is that it offers ‘gearing’ or ‘leverage’. This means you can make a bet without needing to put down the full value of that transaction and, as your funds are not tied up, you can make several bets at once².

Spread betting allows you to make exceptional profits but losses can soon mount up too. That is why paddypowertrader offers one of the industry’s most innovative risk management systems. Whenever you place a bet we will automatically create a stop loss order for you, which will protect you from major losses without capping your potential gains. Of course you can alter this stop loss order whenever and however often you like. However please note that, as markets can gap, stop loss orders are not guaranteed and you can lose more than your original deposit. Click here for more information.
