How to Spread Bet on Alstom? |
If an investor decides to speculate on firms like Alstom then one possibility could be to spread trade on the Alstom share price.
Looking at a spread betting site like Tradefair, you can see they are currently valuing the Alstom Rolling Daily market at €31.98 - €32.07. This means that an investor could put a spread bet on the Alstom shares:
 Moving above €32.07, or
 Moving below €31.98
When spread trading on French shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you staked £3 per cent and the Alstom share price changes by €0.30 then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £90. £3 per cent x €0.30 = £90.
You can also spread bet on this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore unlike a normal futures market, there is no closing date. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If your trade is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Move up - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Move down - then a small payment is often credited to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Alstom Rolling Daily - French Shares Spread Trading Example |
Now, if we think about the spread of €31.98 - €32.07 and make the assumptions that:
- You've completed your company analysis, and
- Your analysis leads you to think that the Alstom share price is likely to increase and move higher than €32.07
Then you could decide to go long of the market at €32.07 and invest, for example, £5 per cent.
So, you gain £5 for every cent that the Alstom shares increase and go above €32.07. However, such a bet also means that you will lose £5 for every cent that the Alstom market moves below €32.07.
Looking at this from another angle, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the settlement 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 days the shares moved higher then you could consider closing your spread bet to secure your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to €32.33 - €32.42. To close your trade you would sell at €32.33. Therefore, with the same £5 stake you would make a profit of:
Profit = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit = (€32.33 - €32.07) x £5 per cent stake
Profit = €0.26 x £5 per cent stake
Profit = 26c x £5 per cent stake
Profit = £130 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, may not go to plan. In this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, it can also go down.
If the Alstom stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
If the spread dropped to €31.85 - €31.94 then this means you would settle your position by selling at €31.85. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Loss = (€31.85 - €32.07) x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -€0.22 x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -22c x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -£110 loss
