CFDs with 32Red Spreadbet
Risk Management
Trading on margin increases your risk because you can potentially lose more than your initial deposit. However, there are many ways of managing your risk with a range of flexible orders including Limits (Take Profits), Stop-losses, OCOs (One Cancels the Other) and If Dones. All of these orders can be placed online and are free to use.
32Red Spreadbet also offers clients the opportunity to use a Guaranteed stop, although these are not available across MarketMaker® Software. Guaranteed stops enable you to place a stop order at a predetermined level in order for you to guarantee your maximum loss. Therefore you have a known 'worse case scenario' should the market move against you. Because we guarantee the price at which the trade is stopped there are conditions to this type of order. Specifically there is a premium charge when opening the trade, and also any stop loss can only be placed a minimum number of points / percentage away from the current market price. It is rare to find guaranteed stops in the traditional Share trading environment.
