Financial Spreads have launched a new limited risk spread betting account.
The new Limited Risk account is designed to help investors by placing a Guaranteed Stop Order on every new position.
The Guaranteed Stop Order puts an absolute limit on how much an investor can lose on a spread bet without putting a limit on the potential profit of the trade.
Limited Risk Spread Betting Account
According to Financial Spreads spokesman, Adam Jepsen, the new Limited Risk Account is ideal for both investors who are new to spread betting and those wanting an extra safety net when trading.
“Risk management is important with all trading, particularly in the current volatile markets. The new Limited Risk account helps investors minimise the risks of trading. Every time a client makes a new trade a Guaranteed Stop Order is automatically attached. Therefore, if the market moves against the client the spread bet is guaranteed to close at a pre-specified level. This extra level of safety should help a range of investors”.
“At Financial Spreads we take risk management seriously so even our standard account automatically adds a Stop Loss to every new trade, although these are not guaranteed.
“Markets can ‘gap’ ie they can jump straight through a Stop Loss level. If that happens a normal Stop Loss will close a trade at the next best traded level.
“A Guaranteed Stop Loss is a form of insurance against gapping and comes at a small cost. When clients have gained some experience with the Limited Risk Account, they can upgrade to a Standard Account where Guaranteed Stop Orders are not mandatory but can still be applied to trades. Having said that, even our Standard Accounts come with automatic Stop Loss orders on every trade” concluded Jepsen.
Spread Betting Risks
Before trading note that:
- Spread betting is leveraged and therefore carries a high level of risk to your funds
- Spread betting may not be suitable for all investors
- It is possible to lose more than your initial investment with spread betting and therefore you should only trade with funds that you can afford to lose
- You should fully understand the risks and, where necessary, seek independent financial advice
