About ProSpreads

ProSpreads started life as FuturesBetting.com in 2005, a company which was set up to provide serious speculators with a trading platform which could deliver the level of technology demanded by professional traders.

This platform technology has evolved to deliver the ultimate in Direct Markets Access functionality for executing spread bets on the major indices, currencies and commodities.

The ProSpreads mission is to provide the best in customer service and platform technology. Most of our staff have extensive experience in the financial markets and pride themselves in delivering an excellent spread betting service.

Why ProSpreads?

• Configure your own trading platform
  The ProSpreads platform is completely configurable to your own preference. Not just colour changes, but choosing the layout, which information you want to see and how you wish to execute your spread bets.
• 4 ways to spread bet
  ProSpreads allows you to choose one of four different ways to execute your order:
  Order Ticket
  Single Click Trading
  Level 2 Trading
  Market Ladder
  
• Ultra Tight Spreads & No Re-quotes!
  ProSpreads clients have access to some of the tightest spreads for speculating on the major indices, currencies and commodities.
  ProSpreads can offer this because it references its prices directly from the underlying exchanges where thousands of market participants compete to trade. As a result of this liquidity and competition the underlying spreads are often extremely narrow, resulting in ultra tight spreads offered by ProSpreads.
  Because ProSpreads references the underlying markets, you will never be re-quoted. As long as underlying market price is available, the spread bet price will be available.
• Tax Free Spread Betting*
  In the UK, profits generated from spread betting are free from capital gains tax; however tax laws can change and all individuals should seek independent advice regarding their tax affairs.
• Trade Inside The Spread
  As the ProSpreads platform mirrors the functionality of the underlying exchanges, sometimes including Direct Market Access, you can often bid and offer inside the spread, or at any other price. So if you are buyer of the FTSE 100 for example, you are able to ‘join’ the bid or even bid inside the spread offered by ProSpreads, giving clients the ultimate flexibility in trade management.
  In contrast, most other spread betting companies will not let clients join the bid or offer and limit orders have to be placed a minimum distance from the current spread.
• Fast Execution
  The ProSpreads platform utilises the same technology that professional bank traders use to execute their trades. When you click to Buy or Sell, you order is often filled in a fraction of a second. No waiting. No delays. No re-quotes!
• Reliable Prices
  Many spread betters complain about the prices offered by some of the other spread betting companies. This is because these clients are only referencing prices from one price maker with no competitive comparison.
  In contrast, clients of ProSpreads directly reference their own prices from the underlying exchanges where thousands of market participants are competing for business, presenting them with the most competitive prices. Not only that, these prices are extremely reliable, as most of them represent actual client orders, meaning they will not be suddenly removed or adjusted against our clients.
• Level 2 Data
  ProSpreads provides Direct Market Access functionality enabling clients to see, not just the highest bid and lowest offer, but also all the underlying bids and offers outside the market spread.
  This price transparency means clients can view all the orders above and below the underlying market – a useful tool when gauging potential support and resistance.
