Spreadex combines UK financial spread betting and CFD trading on a proprietary platform, with a TradingView connection. The two products can reference the same market but use different position-sizing conventions and, for shares, different charging structures.[1][2][4]
Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑UK account essentials
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Provider | Spreadex Ltd | Company-disclosed FCA reference 190941.Source 3 |
| Minimum deposit | GBP 5 | The current account FAQ’s stated minimum.Source 3 |
| Account currencies | GBP, USD or EUR | Other currencies may be considered on request.Source 3 |
| Account administration | No joining, maintenance or inactivity fee | Trading spreads and applicable transaction charges are separate.Source 3 |
| Financial market range | 10,000+ markets | Company-advertised range; product and client eligibility apply.Source 1 |
Products and access
| Route | Exposure basis | Account tools |
|---|---|---|
| Financial spread betting | Stake per price movement | Web, iOS and Android.Source 2Source 4 |
| CFDs | Instrument-specific number of contracts | Web, iOS and Android.Source 2Source 4 |
| TradingView connection | External charting and dealing interface | Connects to the Spreadex brokerage service.Source 4 |
A spread bet expresses exposure as a cash stake per price movement. A CFD uses the contract size and quantity shown in the market specification. That distinction is essential when comparing minimum sizes, stops and realised profit or loss.[2][5]
Products & platforms
Sections ↑Published platform capabilities
| Tool | Function | Access distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Force Open | Hold long and short positions in the same market | An explicit order choice.Source 4 |
| Price Tolerance Threshold | Controls acceptable price movement during submission | Different from a guaranteed stop.Source 4 |
| Charting | Pattern recognition, trend lines and saved templates | Published history exceeds ten years.Source 4 |
| Alerts | SMS, email or push messages | The platform describes these alerts as free.Source 4 |
| TradingView | Additional charting and dealing connection | Third-party service features have their own scope.Source 4 |
Order and position controls
| Control | Published purpose | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Force Open | Allows long and short exposure in the same market | It does not eliminate financing, spread or margin on the positions.Source 4 |
| Price Tolerance Threshold | Limits acceptable price movement while an order is submitted | It is not a guaranteed stop or guaranteed fill.Source 4 |
| Guaranteed stop | Adds a defined stop feature with an instrument-specific premium and distance | The premium is separate from the normal dealing spread.Source 5 |
| Alerts | SMS, email or push notifications | An alert is not an order and does not close a position.Source 4 |
| TradingView | Connected charting and dealing interface | Third-party interface availability does not change the Spreadex contract.Source 4 |
Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑Five pairs: published starting spreads
The minimum-size table lists 0.5 contracts for AUD/USD and EUR/GBP. It also quotes guaranteed-stop premiums and minimum distances separately: for example, AUD/USD has a premium of 1 and a minimum guaranteed-stop distance of 10 in the schedule’s price-movement units. Guaranteed-stop pricing is therefore not included automatically in the quoted dealing spread.[5]
For share spread bets, Spreadex includes its dealing charge in the quoted spread. Share CFDs instead have the underlying market spread plus a separate commission debit. The company’s cost guide describes non-share FX, index and commodity dealing as spread-based, with overnight financing and other position costs assessed separately.[7]
Holding and rollover costs
| Area | Published position | Practical detail |
|---|---|---|
| FTSE 350 rolling share positions | Long funding: adjusted 30-day SONIA reference plus 4% | Applied to position value, not just the margin deposit; the guide describes triple Friday funding for the weekend.Source 7 |
| Short share positions | Reference rate less the financing charge, plus applicable stock borrow | The financing entry can be a debit or credit. Borrow cost changes with stock availability.Source 7 |
| Futures-style exposure | Financing incorporated in the futures price | Rolling into the next contract incurs the applicable spread; no daily funding debit does not mean a cost-free rollover.Source 7 |
How the main cost models differ
| Exposure | Primary published charge | Additional layer to check |
|---|---|---|
| Spot FX / indices / commodities | Bid/offer spread | Overnight financing for rolling positions and any guaranteed-stop premium.Source 5Source 7 |
| Share spread bet | Dealing charge incorporated into the quoted spread | Financing and stock-borrow treatment for a short position.Source 7 |
| Share CFD | Underlying market spread plus separate commission debit | Financing and stock-borrow treatment.Source 7 |
| Futures-style contract | Financing incorporated into the futures price | Rollover uses the applicable spread when moving to the next contract.Source 7 |
The “from” FX figures are published floors rather than observed averages. A usable comparison also needs the trade size, guaranteed-stop choice, holding period and whether a share position is a spread bet or CFD.[5][7]
Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Operational distinctions
| Item | Published condition | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Financial dealing desk | Sunday 21:00 to Friday 22:00 | Desk availability; individual markets differ.Source 3 |
| Spot FX CFD schedule | Sunday 22:00 to Friday 22:00 | Instrument timetable, not the desk’s opening time.Source 5 |
| Retail negative-balance protection | Included in the published retail description | Professional-client terms differ.Source 3 |
Trading-hour and order-status distinctions
| Question | Published position | Practical consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Is the dealing desk open? | Financial desk Sunday 21:00 to Friday 22:00 | A staff route can be open while a particular market is closed.Source 3Source 8 |
| Is spot FX open? | The cited spot-FX schedule begins Sunday 22:00 and ends Friday 22:00 | Instrument hours and desk hours are not the same clock.Source 5 |
| Does a tolerance limit guarantee execution? | No; it controls acceptable movement during submission | The order can fail rather than execute outside tolerance.Source 4 |
| Does a guaranteed stop remove all risk? | It addresses the supported stop execution condition | Spread, premium, financing and market loss remain.Source 5Source 7 |
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Published payment conditions
| Item | Amount or time | Relevant condition |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum withdrawal | GBP 5 | Withdraw the full available balance if it is below GBP 5.Source 6 |
| Card withdrawal maximum | GBP 25,000 per request | More than one request can be made in a day.Source 6 |
| Fast card return | Within two hours after approval | Only where the receiving card issuer supports it.Source 6 |
| Other card returns | 2–5 days | Alternative issuer processing route.Source 6 |
| Bank-transfer arrival | Within two working days | International/non-GBP transfers can incur extra charges.Source 6 |
| CHAPS same-day transfer | GBP 25 | Cut-off depends on the amount.Source 6 |
The FAQ calls standard deposits free, but the payment page reserves a GBP 1 charge on debit-card deposits below GBP 50. Both statements remain visible: the lower-cost headline is not treated as cancelling the detailed exception. The payment page also rejects third-party funding and certain e-wallet routes.[3][6]
Payment route interpretation
| Route | Published timing or fee | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Supported fast card return | Within two hours after approval | Only where the receiving issuer supports the route.Source 6 |
| Other card return | Two to five days | Card network and issuer timing follows broker approval.Source 6 |
| Bank transfer | Within two working days | International or non-GBP bank charges can remain.Source 6 |
| CHAPS | GBP 25 same-day route | Cut-off and payment amount conditions apply.Source 6 |
| Third-party or unsupported wallet funding | Rejected under the published payment rules | Use a payment source in the customer’s name.Source 6 |
Protection & regulation

The proprietary platform can display multiple product routes, but each market retains its own contract unit, hours, stop conditions and charging basis. Account-level service hours are not evidence that every market is continuously tradable.[4][3][5]
