I’m not sure what you don’t understand about futures trading, you don’t say. You can ask anything about futures here.
But we don’t have spread betting in the US, so not many people are going to be familiar with it. It is highly leveraged, like futures, and leverage is a killer.
Ask about spread betting on the UK site:
