This list is also available as a CSV file (290K).

We have classified our UK stocks into three categories, depending on our assessment of the volatility of the stock concerned. The volatility of the share price affects two significant factors, the Controlled Risk premium and the minimum stop distance.

Low volatility - 0.3% premium

Contains FTSE 100 shares, as well as many SETS shares. Minimum stop distance: 5%*

Medium volatility - 0.7% premium

Contains other SETS/SETSmm shares. Minimum stop distance: 7.5%*

High volatility - 1.0% premium

Contains market-maker stocks. Minimum stop distance: 12.5%*

International shares are divided into the same three categories. US stocks are all classified as Low volatility (0.3%), and have a minimum stop distance of 10%*.

These categories will only affect spread sizes for Controlled Risk bets; spread sizes for non-Controlled Risk bets are not affected. For a full explanation of how we determine our dealing spreads for bets on individual shares, please see our Dealing Handbook.

*Minimum Stop distances

The more volatile a share, the greater the minimum stop distance we will insist upon for Controlled Risk bets. The minimum stop distances for each category are listed above, expressed as a percentage of the current share price.
