Interested in becoming a trader?

>> Potential clients will need to fill out the online application form, then Customer Support at the respective spread trading company will follow up.
>> Spread trading companies are FSA-regulated so clients need to make available some information in order to be successful in opening an account:
Salary & Savings | Proof of address | Proof of identity
Trade Anywhere
Set up your trades in the evening, during your lunch break, or even while at your desk. The flexibility inherent in spread trading gives it an advantage over traditional trading instruments.
Benefits of Spread Trading
Tax Free Profits
Any capital gains you make from financial spread trading are completely free of Capital Gains and Income tax (for UK residents).
No Stamp Duty
Financial spread trading is exempt from stamp duty.
