Spread Betting
Financial spread betting is an easily accessible form of leveraged trading available to all UK clients. When you spread bet, you do not own an actual currency or futures contract. Instead you make a bet per point movement, either long or short, in the underlying market.
With InterTrader Direct you also get some powerful added benefits:
Direct trading
Trade at the market price, with automatic execution and no requotes.
We are a market-neutral broker, which means we never trade against our clients.
Our dealing spread is added to the market price to provide our spread betting quote.
High volume
The full exposure derived from your trades is
automatically traded in our exceptional liquidity pool. This means that you can trade tight spreads even in large size.
MT4 platform
Combine your spread betting with technical analysis and automated trading on one of the world’s most popular and powerful trading terminals. Our MT4 platform is enhanced with the 1-Click Trade Manager, giving you greater speed and control over your trades and orders.
Tax-Free Trading (UK only)
Under current UK tax law, profits from spread betting are exempt from stamp duty (provided spread betting isn’t your main source of income).*
With InterTrader Direct, UK clients can trade forex and other major global markets directly on MT4, taking full advantage of the tax treatment of spread betting.
*Tax status depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may change in the future. If in doubt please seek professional advice.
