Short Selling Notice

Tradefair Spreads/Spread Betting Guide/Legal & Support/Short Selling Notice

Please be advised that various regulators have imposed short selling restrictions on a small number of the equity markets we quote. This means that you are not allowed to hold sell positions in these markets. Whilst we will attempt to keep you informed of the changes imposed by the regulators, please understand that it is your responsibility to know which shares you can and cannot short.

If you place a trade in contravention to these restrictions we may, solely at our discretion, close any such position without notice to you. We will close positions at either the current quote or at the entry level plus our spread. You will be liable for any loss you might incur as a result of such an action by us and you may also be liable to action taken by the regulator due to your contravention of said regulations.

If you do have a specific query about an individual share, please check with the relevant exchange or you can contact our dealing team who will endeavour to assist you.

*Spread bets carry a high level of risk so you should only speculate with money you can afford to lose. Stops are automatically allocated to each trade and if triggered are subject to market gaps unless you specified for your trade to be guaranteed. You can lose more than your initial deposit and stake. Before you open an account, please ensure that spread betting matches your investment objectives, familiarise yourself with the risks involved and if necessary seek independent advice. The terms bet and trade are synonymous. You will be in fact placing bets and consequently you are not entitled to the rights to the underlying instruments you would be if you were trading.
