Spread betting is a type of financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of various financial instruments, such as stocks, currencies, and commodities, without owning the underlying asset. The trader places a bet on whether the price of the asset will rise or fall, and the size of their winnings or losses is determined by the accuracy of their prediction and the size of their bet.

Pip Value can be variable or fixed, depending on two factors:
1. The currency pair traded, (for example: EUR/USD).
2. The base currency, (for example: EUR of the EUR/USD currency pair is the measuring currency).
To calculate pip value, divide one pip (usually 0.0001) by the current market value of the forex pair. Then, multiply that figure by your lot size, which is the number of base units that you are trading. This means that the value of a pip will be different between currency pairs, due to the variations in exchange rates.
 

Bear in mind that Buy positions close at BID price whereas Sell positions close at ASK price. When referring to the chart, please ensure that you are looking at the relevant pricing.

If you are still having issues, please reach out to our support team via support@markets.com or LiveChat and prepare your position/s ID numbers.

 An IPO stands for initial public offering. It is the first time a company's stock is offered for sale to the public.

An IPO is priced by the investment bank underwriting the offering through a process called bookbuilding. The bank gauges demand from investors and sets a price that reflects the perceived value of the company.

The IPO lock-up period typically lasts from 90 to 180 days. It is intended to prevent too many shares from flooding the market in the early days of the IPO. A high supply of shares could drive down the price of the IPO stock.  As soon as the lock-up period ends, you can short an IPO. Please note that markets.com reserves the rights to define what orders to accept.

The IPO share price is typically determined by the investment bank underwriting the offering, in consultation with the company's management team. The price is influenced by factors such as market conditions, investor demand, and the company's financial performance.

Conversely, if the sale price is lower than the purchase price, the trader incurs a loss. The profit or loss amount is calculated in the base currency of the account and is influenced by factors such as lot size, leverage, and pip value.
