Hi,
How many of you use financial spread betting as one of the tools for speculation in FX?
There is of course pros and cons as with everything and feel free to post yours as well.

Advantages:
Zero Tax (at least in Sweden)
Growing number of brokers(Tighter spreads and better software)

Disadvantages:
Limited number of availible bets(currency pairs)
Spreads usually not as competitive as a pure FX broker
Interest rates are based to short/long bets
There are no certainties only oppurtunities.

Zero tax in Sweden. Now this sounds like a great resident option. Better than my 23%

Spread betting is tax free in the UK.

With major firms like IG Index spreads are as competitive as any forex broker provided you open the correct account with the spread betting brokerage, which is only available to UK residents. Foreign residents = wider spreads.

No hedging.

Excellent deposit and withdrawal facilities.

Understanding is a three-edged sword

Low spreads are what almost every trader wants, it's not yours alone. But the spread is too low in a broker is also something we should think again

Low spread is very important when we choose a broker. Always choose a broker with low spread and also broker must be not new and also be reliable.

Never quite understood what 'spread betting' was.

*seems* just the same as cfd trading...but with different lot size limits (and tax free status in UK).
