Spread Betting is not suitable for all potential customers. A key feature of this type of trading is the leverage that it affords. This can mean that a relatively small movement in the underlying instrument can have a dramatic effect on the profit or loss performance of your bet. Ensure that you understand the risks involved (seeking expert advice if necessary) and select your deal size according to your risk profile. A Cityindex.co.uk market is often more flexible than the equivalent market on the underlying exchange. Provided sufficient funds are in your account, bets may be closed at any time for the market in question, during Cityindex.co.uk trading hours, or left to expiry. Cityindex.co.uk offers an 'execution only' service and is not authorised to give investment advice. Cityindex.co.uk is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
