Spread betting account
Spread betting has become very popular in the UK over the past few years. There’s a good reason for that – all spread betting profits are tax free‡ in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, so you will keep all you make. With Alpari UK, you can take advantage of this tax-free‡ trading on the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform – one of the most popular trading platforms in the world.
Take advantage of Expert Advisors
MT4’s Expert Advisor (EA) capability can help you make the most of your spread betting experience. EAs are software programs that can help automate your trading.
Spread bet on 37 currency pairs and more
But that’s not all. On a spread betting account, you can trade 37 currency pairs, seven indices and 10 commodities. You can deposit on your account in GBP (British pound sterling), and start trading from only 10 pence per pip. And it takes just GBP250 to open a spread betting account.
