Another key point in both Spread betting as well as in financial spread betting is they’re tradeable just like a spread bet or any other instrument that you’re using and you can take high profits. So if you bought the FTSE to finish up for example at 10, you could take profits at 50 or even 60. Or take high profits and the trade is then risk free in spread betting.

Going back on the risk side again, you have to ask yourself the question, how many spread bets have you let run past your stop, hoping that they’re going to return back to profit? I think it’s more on a psychological level as well because a lot of people don’t know this, but if you take lot’s of small losses it actually strengthens your trader’s mind and it will help you profit in the long-term.
