Go long or short


Markets don’t always rise in value. In fact, they spend a great deal of their time falling. Traditional trading only offers potential for profits in rising markets, but with spread betting, profiting from falling markets is no longer reserved to hedge funds managers. By trading with Twowayspreads you can benefit from the ability to short financial instruments, potentially maximising profits in volatile and falling markets.

If you “go long” (buy), your profits will rise in line with an increase in the price. If you “go short” (sell), your profits will rise in line with a decrease in the price.

Please note, losses can be incurred if the market does not move in your favour.
