Yes Shed, I sold quite a few between 20 and 27p. However, spread betting is the way most traders work in the UK/US. In fact the majority of the tech rise over the past 2 or 3 years is down to spread betting. It is so easy.
No stamp duty
No fee accept for a high spread
Remember the EUA short who no one knew of who went bust in July 2020 and SP went up 3 fold!
No capital or income tax as long as you have an other paying occupation
However, my point is why IG will allow buys but not sells unless IG have too much exposure to sells.
