Spread betting is a leveraged product, which means you only have to place a percentage of the full trade value to open a position. For example, if you placed a spread bet on a share you would need to deposit 20% of the full trade value as the margin requirement. View our spread betting margin rates for popular markets.
The margin you will be required to deposit reflects a percentage of the full value of the position you wish to open. We refer to this as 'position margin' on our platform. The position margin will be calculated using the applicable margin rates, as shown in the product library area on the platform.
For shares , different margin rates may apply depending on the size of your position or the tier of your position (or a portion of your position) in that instrument. The portion of the position that falls within each tier is subject to the margin rate applicable to that tier.
In order to calculate the position margin, the level 1 mid-price (shown on our trading platform ) is used.
Stake in Tier 1 x Tier 1 Margin rate
Stake in Tier 2 x Tier 2 Margin rate
The sum of: Stake in Tier 3 x Tier 3 Margin rate x level 1 mid-price x point multiplier
Stake in Tier 4 x Tier 4 Margin rate
Stake in Tier 5 x Tier 5 Margin rate
Based on the margin rates in the table below for Company ABC (GBP), a position of £65 per point, using the level 1 mid-price of 275.0 (£2.75), would require a position margin of £5,018.75.
Your position margin requirement is calculated as follows:
The notional value of your total position is: £17,875.00 (65 x 275).
Spread betting using margin allows you to open a position by only depositing a percentage of the full value of the position. This means that your losses will be amplified and you could lose all of your capital. Profits and losses are relative to the full value of your position. Learn more about our trading fees .
Spread betting using margin is not necessarily for everyone and you should ensure you understand the risks involved and if necessary seek independent professional advice before placing any spread bets.

Trading with margin when spread betting is an effective way for traders to gain greater exposure to the financial markets, including forex, shares and commodities. This requires traders to place a fraction of the full trade value as a deposit, which is known as the margin requirement. However, profits and losses will be based on the full value of your position.

Learn more about how trading on margin and leverage impacts your trading.
Spread Betting is a leveraged product which means that you can start trading using a relatively small initial deposit.
When you trade using a Spread Betting account, you trade on leverage, which allows you to gain a larger market exposure than may otherwise be possible with more traditional forms of investing. Trading on leverage can enhance your profits, but equally can increase your risk so make sure you understand how much you are risking with each position and use a risk management strategy that protects you against rapid market movement.
Margin is the amount of money or deposit you are required to have in your account in order to open a position. Because you are trading on leverage and your positions are magnified, you will need to have sufficient funds in your account in order to protect you against market movements. The amount you will be required to deposit is expressed as a percentage of your total position size. For more volatile markets, the margin level will almost always be higher.
Spread betting is a leveraged product. This means that you only need to deposit a small fraction of the overall value of any trade, known as margin.
For example, if the margin requirement for a trade is 20% then you would need 20% of the full value of the trade in your account to open the position.
If you buy 1,000 shares in ABC plc and its share price is 500p, your total investment is £5,000. The equivalent spread bet would be £10 per point on the same company.
In this example you are required to deposit £1,000 to open the equivalent of a £5,000 investment. This is how trading on margin leverages your position, freeing up additional funds to use on other products.
Trading on leverage means that you benefit from much larger market exposure from your initial capital outlay, increasing your potential profits. But, this also means that you are exposed to more risk if the trade goes against you and your losses will also be magnified.
In the example below you can see how trading on leverage has helped magnify profits compared to a similar investment using more traditional forms on share trading. Your Spread Bet in ABC plc is successful and you decide to close out your trade with a £100 profit. The return on your spread bet deposit is 10%, whereas the return on your share trade is 2%.
Remember, trading on leverages magnifies your losses as well as your profits and it is important that you understand the downsides of greater market exposure. The example below is based on the same trade as the profit example above, though in this example the market has moved against you and your losses are magnified.Your trade in ABC plc is unsuccessful and you decide to close out your trade with a £100 loss. The return on your spread bet deposit is -10%, whereas the return on your share trade is -2%.
Margin requirements refer to the amount of capital you will need in your account to cover your position. Margin requirements are expressed as a percentage of the total value of your position. Please note margin requirements vary across markets. Generally speaking, the higher the margin factor the riskier the market. Please see the relevant Market Information sheet on the trading platform for full details.
A margin call is a warning that the capital in your account has dropped below the required minimum amount needed to keep your position open. You should always ensure you have sufficient funds in your account to cover any losses for the period that you decide to maintain your trade.
If you don't, you could quickly find yourself on a margin call which puts you at risk of having your position automatically closed out.
The Margin Level Indicator on the City Index platform represents the level of cover you have associated with your open positions. It is located in the upper left corner of the trading platform. It displays one of the three scenarios listed below:
