Limited Risk Account
Through our Limited Risk Accounts, you can trade across thousands of markets – the same as our Standard Accounts – with the added protection and knowledge that you can never lose more than the funds you have in your account.
Limited Risk Account: What it Offers You
Limited Risk on All Trades
All trades made through the Limited Risk Account have a Guaranteed Stop Loss Order* (GSLO) attached.
A GSLO is an order that automatically closes out your losing trade at a predetermined level set by you, regardless of market gapping.
GSLOs offer you the maximum protection, even in volatile markets.
As spread betting is a form of leveraged trading, there is the risk that if prices move against you, you could lose more than the funds you have in your account. However, a Limited Risk Account negates this risk by applying a GSLO to all of your trades. This means that you will never lose more than your initial deposit when spread betting through a Limited Risk Account with Finspreads.
Find out more about how GSLOs could benefit you and help limit your potential losses through our dedicated Risk Management section.
*A GSLO will incur a small premium upon trade opening. Please see the market information sheets located on our Trading Platform for more information.
