Spread betting targets from Delta Index. Spread betting company Delta Index have called a Buy on Apple Inc and AMD this morning. The morning call from Delta Index gives spread betting traders food for thought from a purely technical perspective. AMD has seen a bullish MACD crossover which signals a Buy at 863 say Delta Index. A stop has been set at 807 and an initial take profit target at 971 has been suggested. Apple Inc announces results today. A bullish MACD crossover formed ahead of these results signalling a Buy at 34319, a Stop at 33272 and an initial target at 36395. Spread betting companies had all called the FTSE 100 higher as momentum from yesterday's stormer of a session filtered through. "The FTSE 100 is called to open higher this morning on the back of positive earnings results out of the US which drove the global markets higher overnight," says a note from SVS Securities. These results helped investors refocus on corporate earnings which in turn allowed a return to riskier asset classes, however, firmer gold prices are continuing to highlight concerns over the global economic recovery. Companies will continue to be in focus today with a number of announcements released this morning as well as a host of economic due out in the UK and abroad. |

Spread betting at a glance
- Spread betting is a financial product that allows retail and professional investors access to the widest possible number and types of exchange traded instruments.
- The spread betting company that you trade through is the market maker, the trader does not actually take ownership of any underlying product. Hence, most jurisdictions do not charge stamp duty on any gains.
- The notion that you don't actually own the product ensures spread betting platforms are able to almost instantaneously execute orders on behalf of their client.
- Spread betting is a leverage product, your money is able to realise you impressive gains as your earnings come in multiples of the actual change in the underlying product that you are trading.
- This is of course where spread betting can also go spectacularly wrong. Losses can be huge, therefore we advise those that are spread betting, or are looking to go into spread betting, to enter each trade with a well thought out strategy. This also means setting a pre-determined stop loss so that losses are cut at a manageable level.
