How to Spread Bet on Aegis? |
If you are going to speculate on firms like Aegis then one solution could be spread betting on the Aegis share price.
Logging into InterTrader, we can see that they have priced the Aegis Rolling Daily market at 234.8p - 235.5p. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the Aegis share price:
 Going higher than 235.5p, or
 Going lower than 234.8p
Whilst financial spread betting on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you chose to invest £2 per penny and the Aegis shares move 28p then that would alter your bottom line by £56. £2 per penny x 28p = £56.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that there is no settlement date for this market. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it will simply roll over to the next trading day.
If you allow your bet to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
Decrease - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
For more information see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Aegis Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
If you think about the above spread of 234.8p - 235.5p and make the assumptions that:
- You've completed your company analysis, and
- Your research suggests the Aegis share price will go above 235.5p
Then you may decide that you want to buy at 235.5p for a stake of, let’s say, £15 per penny.
So, you win £15 for every penny that the Aegis shares push higher than 235.5p. Conversely, however, you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Aegis market moves lower than 235.5p.
Considering this from another angle, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
As a result, if after a few sessions the share price started to rise you might decide to close your trade and therefore lock in your profits.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to 242.8p - 243.5p. You would settle/close your trade by selling at 242.8p. Therefore, with the same £15 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
P&L = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = (242.8p - 235.5p) x £15 per penny stake
P&L = 7.3p x £15 per penny stake
P&L = £109.50 profit
Speculating on shares, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not straightforward. In this example, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, the share price can also decrease.
If the Aegis stock decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you might choose to close your position to limit your losses.
Should the spread drop to 229.3p - 230.0p you would close your trade by selling at 229.3p. So your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = (229.3p - 235.5p) x £15 per penny stake
P&L = -6.2p x £15 per penny stake
P&L = -£93.00 loss
