I'm based in the UK and have recently started trading, I've just realized that I have a forex trading account, but want to move to a Spread Betting company as this seems the best option.
Can anyone recommend a good broker

cheers

IG Index or Capital Spreads. For MT4 brokers I believe FXCM and Alpari both offer spread betting - I haven't heard great things about Alpari.

 Hi Martin,

If you would like to be except from capital gains tax, income tax or stamp duty on all profits gained from financial spread betting, I would recommend looking into our Spread betting account. You can spread bet from as little as 10 pence per point on the price of 34+ currencies, seven indices and 10 commodities, using the popular MT4 platform.

There are many new spread betting platform that provides its users with the help and support they need to become assured traders. These users can enjoy tight spreads and low margins. These go a long way to cut a trader’s overall costs and ensure the biggest return.

I reccomend GKFX the most in terms of spreads and performance, and customer support, out of all the MT4 spread bettors.

Martin, I like the 0.8 spread on EURUSD I get with IG Index but use FxPro MT4 data to set up and monitor trades. I also have an MT4 spread betting account with GFTuk.com, which works well.

In May 2011 I had an MT4 spread betting account with SmartLiveMarkets but closed it when, within a week, its data feed failed twice for over half an hour on each occasion.

Spread betting is a saturated industry so you should always look out for tighter spreads. 2 point spread on gbp/usd seems uncompetitive nowadays.
if you're still looking for tight spreads and sign-up bonuses then you should visit - http://www.independentinvestor.com/b...spread-betting , you can get spreads there as tight as 0.7 on major markets.
But it seems that different people look for different things in their brokers so you need to make sure you are happy with your broker.

Well, well, well. This statement was prophetic.
