Three Spread Betting Contingencies for When Your Internet Connection Fails
LONDON, February 28, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As any regular computer user knows, technical problems can be a common
occurrence. Crashes, internet failures and power-cuts can all happen at the
worst possible times, whether you are typing up an important document or
placing a financial trade. Spread betting provider City Index (
http://www.cityindex.co.uk/) offers these pieces of advice for when your
computer is not acting the way it should.
iPhone(TM) spread betting and mobile trading
City Trading(TM), the live spread betting iPhone(TM) app from City Index,
offers all the key features of an online trading platform. The iPhone and
other smartphones are constantly connected to Wi-Fi or 3G, so you should be
able to access the platform and execute a trade within moments. The app is
also available for Android and BlackBerry phones. Learn more at
http://www.cityindex.co.uk/trading-platform/.
Stop losses and limit orders
Financial spread betting providers such as City Index offer an extensive
range of order types to add greater flexibility to your trading. Stop losses
and limit orders are trading tools that allow you to automatically open,
close, or amend your spread bets at predetermined prices. These should be
used by all traders, regardless of whether they expect something to go wrong
with their computer or not, because you never know what is going to happen to
the markets.
Telephoning the provider directly
You can call most spread betting providers' trading desks direct to place
spread bets or orders over the telephone. Although a useful option, this is a
less instant way of spread betting than mobile or iPhone trading platforms.
That said, you can never have to many contingency plans, so always keep your
spread betting provider's telephone number written down just in case. The
City Index trading desk can be contacted at 0845 355 0801.

losses greater than your initial deposit. Ensure you fully understand the
risks.
