[Minimum Per Point]

Hi, when opening a position on my demo spread betting account the minimum per point seems to be quite high.  EG with Netflix its $1.52 per point on a 57000 stock resulting in a $90,000 nominal position in the stock -- is this normal and what I can expect from a live account?

My objective is to build a diverse portfolio with occasional shorting of S&P500 to hedge.  This will be difficult to achieve with such a large minimum position requirement.

Also, can you advise if the margin requirements are reduced if the long positions are diversified or hedged with short index positions?

Thanks

Hi

If I open a live account, what legal entity am I facing and where is my money/margin held?

Thanks
