A key feature of spread betting is leverage. Changes in the value of the underlying instrument can quickly lead to profits or losses. You can find details of leverage for each Market within the relevant Market Information tab, which is located on the Trading Platform next to each Market or by calling our Client Management team. With leverage changes in price can quickly use up your margin.
