In spread betting, the stake is the amount of money you are willing to bet per point of movement in an underlying asset.
For example, if the stake placed was £1 per point, then for every 1 point movement of the underlying market, your account valuation would either increase or decrease by £1 (depending on whether the market is moving in your favour or not).
Your stake also determines how much collateral you have to put up from your account.
The table below compares the results of spread betting on the UK100 with a stake of 1p per point ( a Mini Spread Bet), compared to the standard minimum stake of £1 per point.
Market | Direction | Stake | Opening Trade Price | Closing Trade Price | Spread | Approx Profit/Loss | Approx Margin |
