Risk management

If you would like to add a Guaranteed Stop to your position, then a Controlled Risk premium will be added to the trading spread, according to the market you are trading. For example, the Controlled Risk premium for a FTSE® 100 trade is 3 points, which means the overall spread you would pay for a Wall Street trade would be 5 points (the basic 2-point spread plus the 3-point Controlled Risk premium).

*0.05 points either side of the market.
