NOTES TO COMMODITIES:

1) The minimum bet size is 20p per ‘bet per’ for all the above markets

2) Our notional trading requirements are subject to change

3) Due to poor liquidity in some commodity markets, it is often not possible to obtain quotes for all months listed

4) Some commodity markets operate a “call” system at the beginning and/or end of the trading session. During the call, we will only quote the particular month being traded at any given moment.

5) Spread Betting any of the products listed on this page would not result in ownership of the underlying instrument.

Spread Betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and is subject to rapid and unexpected price movements. A key risk of spread betting is that if a spread bet position moves against you, the customer, you can incur additional liabilities far in excess of your initial margin deposit. Only speculate with money you can afford to lose. Spread betting may not be suitable for all customers, therefore ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.
