How to Spread Bet on Altera? |
If an investor is looking to invest in firms like Altera then one solution is a spread bet on the Altera share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting website like FinancialSpreads, you can see they are currently valuing the Altera Rolling Daily market at $34.46 - $34.51. This means you can put a spread bet on the Altera share price:
 Moving higher than $34.51, or
 Moving lower than $34.46
Whilst financial spread trading on US equities you trade in £x per cent. So, if your stake was £5 per cent and the Altera share price changes by $0.39 then that would make a difference to your P&L of £195. £5 per cent x $0.39 = £195.
You can also trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.
Should your spread bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Increase - then you'll usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Altera Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example |
Now, if we take the spread of $34.46 - $34.51 and assume that:
- You have done your analysis of the equities market, and
- Your research suggests the Altera shares will push above $34.51
Then you may decide that you want to go long of the market at $34.51 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £2 per cent.
This means that you win £2 for every cent that the Altera shares increase and go higher than $34.51. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the Altera market moves below $34.51.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, 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 initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if after a few sessions the share price rose then you might consider closing your trade so that you can guarantee your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread betting company, might move up to $35.06 - $35.11. To close your trade you would sell at $35.06. As a result, with the same £2 stake you would make:
Your P&L = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your P&L = ($35.06 - $34.51) x £2 per cent stake
Your P&L = $0.55 x £2 per cent stake
Your P&L = 55¢ x £2 per cent stake
Your P&L = £110 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, can work against you. In this case, you wanted the share price to go up. Naturally, the share price might decrease.
If the Altera stock had fallen then you might choose to close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
Should the spread pull back to $34.03 - $34.08 you would settle your trade by selling at $34.03. So your loss would be calculated as:
Your P&L = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your P&L = ($34.03 - $34.51) x £2 per cent stake
Your P&L = -$0.48 x £2 per cent stake
Your P&L = -48¢ x £2 per cent stake
Your P&L = -£96 loss
