Hi Anna. For financial spread betting, if I choose to let my daily market bet roll over to the next day, will I incur any cost other than the “relative funding rate”, even if the stock price is unchanged? What I am worried about is that I will also be charged for half the spread. Example: say the stock quote is 100 – 105 and I choose to buy at 105. If the stock price doesn’t change at the end of the day (and I let it rollover) then will I also be charged the 2.5 points between the mid price and buy price? Hope this makes sense! Thanks, Mark

Hi Anna I came across your site a couple of weeks ago and I am slowly taking in all the information as I am pretty new to this. I wanted to know whether you use spread betting for your FX trading and if not why. From what I have read, spread betting is the most tax efficient way to trade however your chapter on FX trading doesn’t mention spread betting. Regards Ben
