If you are looking for a competitive spread betting account you will need to shop around as each company has a different risk profile and each manage their clients and risks in different ways. Many spread betting companies divide their clients into A book and B book clients, with the first being the professional group who trade in both volume and size, whilst the later grouping designates the smaller retail traders. Each company will then hedge its risk in the market, with some preferring to only hedge the A book clients, and others choosing to hedge all trades. As a result the accounts offered will reflect the company’s approach to the market, and as such the account offers and margin requirements will vary accordingly. So what are the current spread betting companies offering in general for a new account. Below I have listed the lasted offers, deposit margins, account minimums and any special deals or offers at present. I have also listed those companies that offer a demo account ( not all do, so check beforehand).
