FX Bridge Announces Release of Spread Betting for ProTrader Plus™

ATLANTA, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- FX Bridge announced the release of new features for Spread Betting in their ProTrader Plus™ product. Financial Spread Betting is a way of trading on a financial market or product such as a share or a commodity without having to physically own it.

Spread Betting allows an investor to bet on whether the price of a financial instrument will go up or will go down in value. For every point an instrument moves in your favor, you win multiples of your stake and for every point it moves against, you lose multiples of your stake. The

proceeds of spread betting have unique tax implications because in the UK, spread betting profits are not taxed either as capital gains or as income.

All UK spread betting companies are governed by the Financial Services Act of 1986, and ultimately regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The FSA's main responsibility is to maintain confidence in the financial system and to secure an appropriate degree of protection for consumers.

According to James Friedman, Director of Marketing for FX Bridge, "With FX Bridge's superior back office and risk management, dealing principals can now offer spread betting, spot Forex and CFD trading, and options on any of these underlying assets in a consistent, comprehensive platform. And of course, they get the 'Total Position Awareness™' that has become the hallmark for all our products."
