Limit Your Risk
Every time you place a new bet, paddypowertrader will automatically place a Stop Loss for you "free of charge". A Stop Loss is an order to close your trade if the price reaches a certain level. Stop Losses are important because they act as a safety net and can prevent you from making big losses. However, you can change the level of this stop loss whenever and however many times you like. These Stop Losses are not guaranteed and you may, in certain circumstances, lose more than your deposit. paddypowertrader does not offer guaranteed Stop Losses.
News
Each week paddypowertrader will provide a weekly round up packed with news as well as comment on the movers and shakers for the week ahead. In addition, you will have access to paddypowertrader's blog, where you can follow the life of a real trader making real trades.

At paddypowertrader, the security of your funds is paramount to us. As we are regulated by the Financial Service Authority (FSA), you are automatically protected by the FSA's investor compensation programme. What's more, we ensure further protection by having all funds held in client segregated accounts. All client monies are held separately from paddypowertrader funds.

There is no better way to learn than the Paddy Power Way – The Fun, Fair and Friendly way. See you on the trading floor and may the markets be with you.
