Our most popular bets
Spread Betting Trading Centre: What are the current most popular spread bets that you are seeing?
Capital Spreads: As always the big nine markets are USD/JPY, GBP/USD, EUR/USD, Gold, Oil, FTSE, Dow, S&P and Dax.
Spread Betting Trading Centre: Have any sectors, stocks, indices etc fallen out of favour recently?
Capital Spreads: No.
Spread Betting Trading Centre: Do you offer demo accounts?
Capital Spreads: Yes, we have a full demo account, where the clients get £10K to play with. There are no timing restrictions and the simulator is an exact copy of the live platform except it only has around 1500 markets as against the 3000 odd on the live system.
Spread Betting Trading Centre: What are the most common mistakes that spread betters make?
Capital Spreads: Doubling losing positions and moving stops further away are the two most common mistakes.
Spread Betting Trading Centre: What do you think about the market’s performance this year?
Capital Spreads: Getting a bit choppy for my liking. There seems to be no definite move in the offing but every time we go in one direction or the other it is very dramatic but ultimately futile.
Spread Betting Trading Centre: What are your predictions for the market for the next couple of months?
Capital Spreads: FTSE stuck in the 6500 to 6750 trading range unless the credit problems in the US seep into the rest of the markets. I think the Euro will continue to move higher; the dollar will continue to weaken. Quite negative on Gold and the Dax.
Spread Betting Trading Centre: Are there any big changes in the market you are expecting?
Capital Spreads: Mifid should open the European markets up for us and we see this as a big potential marketplace.
