How to Spread Bet on Amazon? |
If you decide to speculate on US companies like Amazon then one option could be to place a spread bet on the Amazon share price.
Logging into FinancialSpreads, you can see they are pricing the Amazon Rolling Daily market at $262.57 - $263.22. This means an investor can spread bet on the Amazon shares:
 Going above $263.22, or
 Going below $262.57
Whilst financial spread trading on S&P 500 equities you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you invest £5 per cent and the Amazon share price changes by $0.33 then that would make a difference to your P&L of £165. £5 per cent x $0.33 = £165.
You are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. If you decide to leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.
If a position is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you usually pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Amazon Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Betting Example |
Now, if we take the above spread of $262.57 - $263.22 and make the assumptions:
- You've completed your analysis of the sector, and
- You think the Amazon share price will increase and move above $263.22
Then you might go long of the market at $263.22 for a stake of, for example, £0.5 per cent.
So, you win £0.5 for every cent that the Amazon shares increase and go higher than $263.22. Nevertheless, it also means that you will lose £0.5 for every cent that the Amazon market moves lower than $263.22.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
As a result, if after a few days the shares started to move upwards then you could choose to close your position in order to lock in your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to $265.59 - $266.24. You would close your position by selling at $265.59. As a result, with the same £0.5 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Profit = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = ($265.59 - $263.22) x £0.5 per cent stake
Profit = $2.37 x £0.5 per cent stake
Profit = 237¢ x £0.5 per cent stake
Profit = £118.50 profit
Financial spread trading doesn't always go to plan. In this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Of course, it might fall.
If the Amazon stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could choose to close your position to limit your losses.
Should the spread fall back to $260.52 - $261.17 then this means you would settle your position by selling at $260.52. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = ($260.52 - $263.22) x £0.5 per cent stake
Loss = -$2.70 x £0.5 per cent stake
Loss = -270¢ x £0.5 per cent stake
Loss = -£135.00 loss
Note: Amazon Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 06-Feb-13.
