Owned by the London Capital Group, Capital Spreads is one of the UK’s largest spread betting brokers, and has made the move into CFD trading to diversify the range of tradable instruments open to its private and institutional clients.
An on-trend move from the broker, the CFD offering comes at a time when a spate of new CFD brokers are entering the market, helping to solidify Capital Spreads’ position with existing customers while ensuring its in the hunt for market share as the CFD industry continues to explode.
Relying on the same unified trading portal for investors spread betting and trading CFDs, Capital Spreads have taken innovative and proactive steps to encourage trading on its new multi asset platform as competition in the sector continues to tighten.
With only one account and one trading portal necessary, it is hoped that existing spread betting clients will broaden their horizons into CFD trading through Capital Spreads as awareness of the benefits of trading contracts for difference heightens.
Some of the reviews of CapitalSpreads LCG
Bad screen layout (01-12-2015)
I always start using a broker by signing up for a demo in order to check everything before committing finance. The Capital Spreads screen was awful. Three quarters of it was taken up with details of trades and the actual commodities or currency pairs screen was miniscule. There was no way to alter this so I logged out and left. ! You do not talk about this in your reviews. Why not ?
Simple and fast (23-12-2014)
As a new trader I found their platform to provide simple interface and instant execution. Wish me luck and let’s see how it goes.
Superb Platform (02-02-2012)
I’m quite new to trading and I’m just learning but I have to say that I found CapitalSpreads’ platform very easy to use.
The Best ! (02-11-2011)
I have been a customer of Capital Spreads for 3 years and wont even consider changing. Customer service is excellent. The platform is really easy to use and user friendly, without any unnecessary flashing lights etc. I have never had any problems with them and would give them a solid 10!
Tight Spreads (22-08-2010)
I’ve been spread betting for over two years now with Capital Spreads and with their tight spreads and great customer service I won’t be looking for another account in the nearest future, would be great if they could add more markets to trade, especially AIM shares.
Trading is good with CapitalSpreads (18-10-2008)
I’m quite new to investing and particularly to financial spread betting. I had 3k to invest and decided to give spread betting a try (I like that it’s tax free unlike share dealing, as I already have share ISA account). Capital Spreads have very competitive spreads on all markets and since I trade about 4 times a day I find it particularly important (don’t like wasting my money on commission). I went for a training session with CityIndex and have to say CapitalSpreads’ trading platform is by far better than CityIndex’s as it’s very easy to open and close bets and they also have quite good graphs package, you can easily use candlesticks and lots of technical analysis indicators. So there’s no need in buying a graphs drawing package from the third party. Over all I’m really enjoying my experience and it’s fun.
We will miss you, Capital Spreads!
