Fixed Odds

Why Trade Financial Fixed Odds?

	Simple To Understand
	Fixed Odds bets are easy to place and simple to understand. With low minimum account opening values and the ability to start placing trades from just £10, Fixed Odds brings the potential to profit from financial markets to a wide audience.
	Limited Risks
	Your risk (potential loss) is limited to your stake. You know both your potential winnings and your liability prior to placing your trade! There is no chance of a "margin call" and you cannot trade (bet) with money that has not been credited to your account.
	Sell Your Bet Back Early
	You can sell your bet back to the Fixed Odds broker before expiry. This is useful both if you want to bank profits early, and if you want to sell out of a trade that is going against you. You sell back the bet to the broker for its current market value and you can then use this for your next opportunity!
	Trade A Range Of Markets From One Account
	Fixed Odds offer convenience with the ability to trade an ever increasing number of markets from just one account. At present you can trade Stock Indices, Currencies and an ever increasing number of individual shares and commodities.
	Multiple Trade Types To Take Advantage Of Different Market Conditions
	With Fixed Odds you are not limited to simply ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ bets. This is because you select not only the market you wish to trade but also the way in which you believe the market will behave. You can profit from not only traditional long/short strategies but also place specific bets to take advantage of range bound and volatile markets… in fact there is a bet for any market condition!
	Tax Free Profits
	As Fixed Odds trading is technically classed as betting all returns made are tax free! Apart from the spread there are no other hidden or additional charges. The price you are quoted for your bet is the price you pay. And of course your winnings are just that… your winnings!

Our Fixed Odds Trade Types

Although Fixed Odds Bookmakers offer many bet types, at Fixed Odds Services our strategies specialise in the use of the 'One Touch' and 'No Touch' trades. An explanation of how each of these two bet types works is given below.

Fixed Odds One Touch Trade

Concept: As the name suggests this is a bet that a specified instrument WILL touch (hit) a specified (price) level within the time period set. For example, if the specified price is above the current market price this is a bet that the instrument will, at some stage, trade at or above that price during the period. If it does, the bet will be won, if it does not, the bet will be lost.

Example: You are bullish on the GBP/USD which is currently sat at 1.611 and expect it to hit 1.650 in the coming weeks. You place a One Touch bet to take advantage of this trend stating that the market will touch this level in the next 14 days. If the USD/CAD does continue to gain and touches 1.650 at any time over the next two weeks you will instantly win your bet!

Concept: This is the opposite of the One Touch bet in that it specifies that an instrument WILL NOT touch (hit) a specified (price) level during the time duration set. For example, if the specified price is below the current market price this is a bet that the instrument will not, for the duration of the specified period, trade at or below that price. If it does, the bet will be lost, if it does not, the bet will be won.

Example: EUR/USD has reached record highs at 1.50 and you expect its gains to consolidate in the near term. At its all time high you place a No Touch bet not to touch 1.52 within the next 5 days. Provided the pair consolidates and does not move higher and touch this level before expiry you win the trade.
