How to Spread Bet on Activision? |
Should an investor decide to invest in firms like Activision then one option could be to place a spread bet on the Activision share price.
Looking at a spread trading platform like Capitalspreads, we can see they are valuing the Activision Rolling Daily market at $11.90 - $11.93. As a result, an investor could spread bet on the Activision share price:
 Moving above $11.93, or
 Moving below $11.90
When spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you decided to risk £4 per cent and the Activision share price changes by $0.21 then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £84. £4 per cent x $0.21 = £84.
Note that you are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore it does not have a set closing date. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.
If a trade is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Go up - then you usually pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed guide to Rolling Daily Markets, including a fully worked example, please read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Activision Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example |
So, if you continue with the spread of $11.90 - $11.93 and make the assumptions:
- You've completed your company analysis, and
- Your analysis suggests that the Activision share price is likely to increase and go above $11.93
Then you may choose to go long of the market at $11.93 and risk, let’s say, £10 per cent.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £10 for every cent that the Activision shares push higher than $11.93. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £10 for every cent that the Activision market decreases lower than $11.93.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
As a result, if after a few hours the share price started to rise you might decide to close your position in order to secure your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to $12.08 - $12.11. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $12.08. As a result, with the same £10 stake you would make a profit of:
Profit = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit = ($12.08 - $11.93) x £10 per cent stake
Profit = $0.15 x £10 per cent stake
Profit = 15¢ x £10 per cent stake
Profit = £150 profit
Spread betting on shares is not easy. In this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Of course, the share price can also decrease.
If the Activision stock had fallen then you could choose to close your trade to stop any further losses.
So if the spread fell to $11.80 - $11.83 you would close your position by selling at $11.80. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Loss = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Loss = ($11.80 - $11.93) x £10 per cent stake
Loss = -$0.13 x £10 per cent stake
Loss = -13¢ x £10 per cent stake
Loss = -£130 loss
