FOREX IN DETAIL
GBP/CHF CURRENCY PAIR
The United Kingdom has the second largest economy in Europe (after Germany) and remains one of the last Member States to have not adopted the Euro. Despite this, the UK is heavily globalised with London being the foremost financial centre in the world. The Swiss economy has a long history of stability which has lead to it being one of the foremost centres of world finance. Switzerland has a high per capita income, unemployment rates are minimal and the budget deficit is low as a result of its finance industry. The fluctuations in the GBP/CHF are affected by the interest rates set by their respective controlling banks & fluctuation in other worldwide currencies.

SPREAD BETTING ON THE FOREX MARKETS
Spread betting on FOREX currency pairs has been gaining more and more popularity amongst online traders. It offers a lot of flexibility and is thus a preferred way of trading for many people.
Instead of opening a position for a certain transaction value, you choose a stake which represents the value for each pip by which the price moves. You also choose a stop-loss, by which you set how much you are willing to lose. This is your margin deposit. As with futures and spot trading, you can also benefit from falling markets by going short or long. Your profit or loss is equal to your stake multiplied by the number of points by which the price has moved.
