Financial spread setting stakes - Choosing your stake
The amount you decide to bet per point movement will depend on the market on which you are spread betting.
Some markets, such as the UK 100 Index, are relatively volatile and regularly move as much as a hundred points in one day. For every market offered, Cantor Index has a Notional Trading Requirement factor (NTR factor) which is the minimum amount that you would need to have in your account for each £1 staked. The more volatile the market, the higher the NTR factor.
For more information on the NTR for a particular market, click here.
Spread bets are high-risk products; you need deposit only a small percentage of the value of the bet. However, your losses may substantially exceed that deposit very rapidly and thus require you to make additional deposits at short notice to maintain your bets. Spread bets are not suitable for all customers. Before betting, you should ensure you fully understand the risks and seek independent financial advice if necessary.
