LONDON, ENGLAND, February 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) UK spread betting company, Financial Spreads, has improved the way they price the forex markets in order to better reflect the underlying interbank market. The company has added an extra decimal place to their forex prices.
The reason for doing this is to make the forex pricing more precise and therefore give account holders a better and more accurate price to trade on.
How Does this Work?
The Financial Spreads forex spread betting markets are now shown down to an extra decimal place. This has not changed the point size of the market but simply provides an extra layer of accuracy.
For example, on EUR/USD, the size of a point is still $0.0001 = $0.00010. However, when calculating the result of a trade the extra decimal place is considered as a fraction of a point.
In the past, for EUR/USD, Financial Spreads rounded the tradable values to the fourth decimal place so a short-term long-trade might have worked as:
Point Size: $0.0001
Stake: GBP 5 per point
Buy Price: $1.3100
Sell Price: $1.3120
Price Difference: ($1.3120 - $1.3100) = $0.0020 = 20 points
Profit / Loss: 20 points x stake = 20 points x GBP 5 per point = GBP 100.00
Under the new system the trade is more accurately rounded to the fifth decimal place and so the same trade might actually be:
Point Size: $0.00010
Stake: GBP 5 per point
Buy Price: $1.30998
Sell Price: $1.31204
Price Difference: ($1.31204 - $1.30998) = $0.00206 = 20.6 points
Profit / Loss: 20.6 points x stake = 20.6 points x GBP 5 per point = GBP 103.00
Better Pricing and Tight Spreads
According to Adam Jepsen, spokesman for www.FinancialSpreads.com, the new pricing will allow clients to trade with greater accuracy.
"Spread betting account holders will be trading the same point system as before, however, the quoted price now includes a fraction of a point for greater precision.
"Importantly, our spreads have remained the same and are still among the very tightest in the industry. From Sunday evening all the way through to Friday evening, clients can trade EUR/GBP, EUR/USD and USD/JPY with just 1 point spreads.
"Before trading, please note that spread trading is a leveraged product and therefore carries a high level of risk. Investors can lose more than their initial deposit so you should ensure financial spread betting meets your investment objectives and seek independent financial advice if you do not understand the risks," added Jepsen.
