Introduction to Spread Betting

The first half of this seminar covers the basics of spread betting. It explores the difference between spread betting and other forms of trading and also tells you about the various markets you can spread bet on.

The second half of the seminar focuses on PureDeal, our browser-based trading platform. Live trades conducted from a PureDeal account demonstrate how you can place trades, manage risks using Stop orders as well as manage and open up new positions even when you are away from your trading screen. There will be ample opportunity to ask questions.

By the end of the seminar you should be comfortable with how spread betting works as well as with the functionality of our PureDeal trading platform.

Key features:

• Understanding the basic principles of trading using spread betting
• Placing online trades using PureDeal
• Managing risks using stops
• Using orders to automate your trading
