ISA vs CFD or Spread bet


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have been trading for over 4 years yet, from time to time use to do a rigorous homework for one shot opportunity, being new on IG which claims to be the oldest trading platform, I decided to ask a question that cannot be found anywhere else on the web:

What makes the difference investing or trading in an ISA account instead of Spread bet or CFD and vice versa, same analysis, same charts, same indicators, one shot with double fee on entry/ exit versus spread/ margins, daily fees and higher risk?

Looking forward to start from here!

Hi @TradingBrotherBro,

Thank you for you post.

An ISA is an Individual Savings Account which receives generous tax breaks from the government to encourage you to invest or save.

While it’s not an investment in its own right, an ISA enables you to protect your savings and investments from tax on capital gains, dividends and interest.

On an ISA account your are capped by a maximum allowance. While on a traditional Share dealing account, there isn't a cap or tax advantages.

You can find differences between CFD and Share dealing here:

You can find differences between Spreab betting and share dealing:

The main differences are that you are using leverage to gain exposure. Fees are different and risk are higher.

I hope that it helps !

All the best - Arvin

Not labelled yet. Details: We have proposed a potential change in the trend as price action confirms a break below 480 last week. A lower (Minute) degree impulse wave might be complete but not labelled yet. Will highlight an alternate count when price action is relevant. Invalidation point: 530 ITC Daily Chart Technical Analysis and potential Elliott Wave Counts: ITC daily chart is indicating a potential termination of Intermediate Wave (5) Orange at 530 high. If correct, a corrective wave should be now underway with prices dropping through 400 levels in the past few trading sessions. Alternatively, Minor Wave 4 of (5) is now complete around 470 mark. The stock had dropped through 135 lows around March 2020, which is followed by a religious rally through 530 high completing an impulse at Intermediate degree. Please also note that Minor Wave 3 of Intermediate Wave (3) was extended. Intermediate Wave (4) terminated around 400 mark, followed by a rally through 530 to terminate Intermediate Wave (5).

    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis It appears the current Gold pullback is completed and the commodity could be set to continue the all-time bullish trend to a fresh record high. From the Elliott wave theory perspective, Gold is expected to rally further to 2800 and beyond before the next pullback starts. Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, Gold completed the cycle degree wave II in October 2023 at 1810. Thus, the current bullish cycle can be traced to that date. Currently, the price is in wave ((iii)) of 5 of (3) of ((3)) of III. This indicates that Gold still has the potential to rally another 30-50% from the current price. Thus, buyers should be interested in buying pullbacks. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price is in wave (iv) of ((iii)) which appears to have finished or may do a double zigzag if the current bounce from 2701 is corrective. A zigzag structure has been completed and the next price action will determine whether recovery for wave (v) of ((iii)) will happen or wave (iv) will drop lower in a double zigzag structure. Whichever is the case, Gold is expected to continue to the upside to complete wave ((iii)) before the next pullback in ((iv)) starts.
