ShortsandLongs.com was launched in September 2008 as a revolutionary new way to trade financial markets through spread betting;

Covered Risk - Spread betting offers the chance to make vast sums of money, but there is also the risk of losing more than your initial stake size. ShortsandLongs.com recognises the importance of managing and protecting risk. A trading account at ShortsandLongs.com protects you from unforeseen market events by guaranteeing that if the markets move against you, in a worst case scenario you can never lose more than your account balance.

FREE Guaranteed Stops (Risk Levels) - To enable you to set your risk levels with confidence, we offer totally FREE guaranteed stop orders (other providers may charge a premium). This protects you against 'gapping through' both overnight and in times of volatile market movements.

EXCEPTIONAL prices - We offer some of the tightest spreads available, minimising risk and maximising your potential for profit.

Access to a wide range of markets - ShortsandLongs.com Elite traders can benefit from fluctuations in some of the most exciting, dynamic and volatile world markets like oil and foreign exchange, alongside the more easily obtainable markets of shares, indices and bonds - all in one place.

NO capital gains tax* or stamp fees - Trading in spread betting has many advantages over direct investments in stocks and shares, it is cheaper, and the lack of share certificates makes administration a breeze.

Trade in falling as well as rising markets - In the current economic climate it makes sense to find means to profit from a downturn. Spread betting allows you to sell as well as buy, so even if the market falls you can still increase your wealth.

Low cost of entry - Spread betting enables you to benefit from movements in markets without the need to own the underlying physical stock, enabling your money to go further.

Ability to offset risk in an existing investment portfolio - No doubt you've spent time and money building up a considerable investment portfolio. You can protect your "pension pot" from market downturns by using spread betting to hedge your positions.
