Financial Spread Betting made easy. Buy or sell financial indices from £1 per point, and take advantage of every move the market makes.

TradIndex.com is a financial spread betting company founded by one of Europe’s largest Broker Firms. The web site, launched in April 2002, has recruited a loyal following of players and investors who pit their wits against the World’s stock markets whereby users buy or sell financial indices from £1 per point, and take advantage of every move the market makes. Players test their skills with "virtual" money, while fully-fledged investors play for real.

Financial Spread Betting is an innovative form of trading that allows you to profit from predicting the general direction and betting on the movements of all the well known major global indices, currencies, commodities, bond futures and stocks as well as the stocks and single share prices of numerous major companies. Players test their skills with "virtual" money, while fully-fledged investors trade for real.

If you follow the markets and believe that the price of a particular index, such as the FTSE or the NASDAQ, will rise or fall before a certain date in the future (the expiry date), spread betting will enable you to back your judgment.

How do I begin to trade?

You specify how much in Pounds (£) you wish to trade per point movement in the market. It is essential to note that you are trading per point movement. You are liable for an open position in the market and the outcome of the trade is as variable as market sentiment itself.

Buy versus Sell Prices

TradIndex.com will give you a two-way quote. The quote will take the form of a 'spread'. The spread is made up of two price quotes, which usually straddle the underlying market price.

There is a higher, 'offer' price for 'buyers' and a lower, 'bid' price for 'sellers'. If you think that the price of the market will rise above the offer price before the expiry date is reached, you buy (also known as 'going long'). If you think that the price of the market will fall below the bid price before the expiry date is reached, you sell ('going short').

How does it work?

If you buy NASDAQ for £1 a point, you would gain £1 for every point the market rises above the offer price. If you sell for £1, you would gain £1 for every point the market falls below the bid price. Alternatively, if you buy the market for £1 a point, and the market then moves against you (i.e. falls), you will then lose £1 for every point the market falls below the offer price. Similarly, if you sell for £1 and the market proceeds to climb, you will lose £1 for every point the market rises above the bid price.

Limiting my losses!

With TradIndex.com you have to submit a mandatory stop loss, which will limit any potential losses. A 'stop loss' is the price at which your position has achieved a maximum acceptable loss.

For example: TradIndex.com quotes on the FTSE 6490 Bid, 6500 Offer. You decide the market is going up and purchase ('going long') and pay 6500 for £1 per point. Now you need to apply your 'stop loss'. This will be the lowest price at which you are willing to remain 'long' the FTSE. Therefore, if you apply a 'stop loss' of 50 points then your price will be 6450. Your potential subsequent loss will be 6500 - 6450 = 50x£1 = £50 (NB. Once the TradIndex Bid reaches 6450 your 'stop loss' will be executed).
