Question

Guest Davey

Hi Guys I've started a spread betting account for a hobby and to learn. I have a question i hope someone can answer. When I'm trading indices or forex the spread is shown between the sell and buy positions but when i want to trade a company alone it is not. Where do i find that info so i know where i will land when i open the position? 

Thanks

Hi - unfortunately that wouldn't be possible because of the nature of the OTC offering of spread betting. If you wanted to deal via a CFD, and you were looking specifically at shares, then you'd be able to place your deal inside the spread and become best bid/offer, however there is no guarantee that you would be filled straight away.

Hi , thanks for the post and welcome!

 

If you are trading shares on a spread betting account, you should still see a slight difference between the buy and sell prices when the underlying market is open.  Our spreads are as low as possible, and are calculated as a percentage premium.  Full details for share spreads can be found on our website here.  Perhaps you were looking at prices when the underlying market has been closed?

 

It's a good idea to do a few practice trades on your demo account so you can really get a feel for where your trade is executed and the movement between the buy and sell prices.

 

I hope this helps, but if you have any more questions please just ask!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

    • I have recently researched cryptocurrency exchange tokens with good potential that would be a profitable investment for the upcoming bull market. This is what I found so far. 1. Binance's token BNB, BNB is the biggest exchange token and has done well over the years. However, its performance this year has not been great and it currently trades at over $200. 2. OKX's token, OKB, is trading at over $40 and has performed very well in 2023. It may be a good addition to our portfolio for the upcoming bull market. 3. Bitget's token, BGB. The BGB daily chart looks fascinating and it currently trades around $0.40. Based on the exchange's growth in 2023, BGB seems to be the most promising exchange token I have researched. I will continue to research other exchange tokens, but for now, I would like to know your thoughts on these tokens.
    • If you have been into cryptocurrency over the time, you'd have noticed it has faced a lot of ups and downs, from several crackdowns to adoptions, ranging from China's ban, to El Salvador's adoption, including Tesla's adoption and others, and it looks as though in an ever developing world of technology, adoption seems to be the resolution for advancing companies and now we have another adoption, Honda Motor Co. Honda Motor Co., a well-known Japanese automaker, has made a surprising decision to accept digital assets as payment for its goods. By collaborating with the blockchain payment platform FCF Pay, Honda now makes it possible for clients to lease or buy their cars and power equipment using different cryptocurrencies, including XRP and the most popular doge token, Shiba Inu (SHIB). This partnership increases the possibilities accessible to customers who may now purchase Honda's cars, motorbikes, and power equipment using digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Polkadot (DOT), and other well-known cryptocurrencies in addition to XRP and Shiba Inu (SHIB) rather than conventional cash. The unique feature of Honda's offering is that it accepts a variety of more uncommon meme-inspired coins, such as Pepe Coin (PEPE), Floki Inu (FLOKI), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), and Doge Killer (LEASH). Connecting the dots of various happenings in the crypto space and sudden adoption by various companies and even some economies, where do you see cryptocurrency in the coming years and what steps are you taking in preparation for it?
