LONDON, November 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- New Range of Flexible Bets Will Further Widen Appeal of Trading Financial Markets
IG Index, (http://www.igindex.co.uk/) the UK's leading financial spread betting firm, has launched a new range of betting opportunities under its Custom Bets banner. Designed to complement the company's traditional financial spread betting business and the more sophisticated binaries, Custom Bets ( http://www.igindex.co.uk/spread-betting/custom-bets.html )give clients the ability to construct a tailor-made bet by using a graphical interface to set the parameters they want.
Tim Hughes, managing director, IG Index, commented
'This is something of a departure from the traditional dealing interface for IG Index, but we believe the Custom Bets proposition opens up financial markets to a new segment of the betting community. Working along the lines of a traditional fixed odds bookmaker, the stake and maximum return are known at the outset, although clients can still trade out of their position before expiry if they want to. Furthermore, the intuitive graphical slide bars give the utmost flexibility when looking to structure a bet to meet your requirements as opposed to simply taking what the broker has to offer.'
The range of markets on offer includes the most popular indices such as the FTSE 100, DAX, Dow Jones and S&P 500, selected currencies and the price of oil. Depending on the type of bet chosen, clients can adjust up to five parameters including the target price levels, the bet's time of expiry and the size of the stake. As each adjustment is made, the potential payout is calculated in real time and clearly displayed.
Having pioneered financial spread betting in the 1970s, IG Index has always been at the forefront of industry innovation. In a recent study by Investment Trends, the company was judged to be the UK's number one financial spread betting provider.
