LONDON, August 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --



Financial trading provider City Index is offering traders an exclusive introductory GBP150 trading credit when they deposit GBP500 into a new City Index account*.

To claim their credit, traders simply make their deposit and place three trades at GBP3 per point or more before 31st August 2011. They will then receive GBP150 trading credit to use on their account as they please. Full terms and conditions can be viewed at http://www.cityindex.co.uk/trading-credit-offer.aspx

City Index, a global leader in spread betting, CFD trading and margined foreign exchange, also allows new traders to start trading from as little as 25 pence per point to help minimise their risk.

Traders interested in the smaller trading sizes simply need to open a City Index trading account [http://www.cityindex.co.uk/spread-betting/start-spread-betting.aspx ] and select the 'Learn to Trade' programme. The lower stake sizes are then applied for a period of four weeks starting from the first day the account is funded.
