How to Spread Bet on US Shares - Anglogold Ashanti Rolling Daily


If you decide to speculate on firms such as Anglogold Ashanti then one option could be spread betting on the Anglogold Ashanti share price.

Looking at the Paddypowertrader spread betting site, they are showing the Anglogold Ashanti Rolling Daily market at $48.28 - $48.36. As a result, you can spread bet on the Anglogold Ashanti shares:
  • Increasing higher than $48.36, or
  • Decreasing lower than $48.28
When spread trading on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decided to risk £4 per cent and the Anglogold Ashanti shares move $0.05 then that would alter your profits by £20. £4 per cent x $0.05 = £20.

You are also able to trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will stay open and roll over into the next trading session.

If your bet is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
  • Rise - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
  • Fall - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.

Anglogold Ashanti Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example

So, if we consider the spread of $48.28 - $48.36 and make the assumptions:
  • you have analysed the markets, and
  • it leads you to think that the Anglogold Ashanti shares look like they will move higher than $48.36
then you could decide that you are going to buy a spread bet at $48.36 and invest, let’s say, £2 per cent.

With such a bet you make a profit of £2 for every cent that the Anglogold Ashanti shares push above $48.36. Conversely, however, you will lose £2 for every cent that the Anglogold Ashanti market goes below $48.36.

Considering this from another angle, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

Therefore, if after a few sessions the stock started to increase then you might want to close your position to secure your profit. So if the market moved up then the spread might move to $48.84 - $48.92. In order to close your position you would sell at $48.84. Accordingly, with the same £2 stake this trade would make you a profit of:

P&L = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($48.84 - $48.36) x £2 per cent stake
P&L = $0.48 x £2 per cent stake
P&L = 48¢ x £2 per cent stake
P&L = £96 profit

Trading shares, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not easy. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, the share price might fall.

If the Anglogold Ashanti share price began to drop then you could choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.

If the market dropped to $47.92 - $48.00 then you would settle your trade by selling at $47.92. Accordingly, your loss would be:

P&L = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($47.92 - $48.36) x £2 per cent stake
P&L = -$0.44 x £2 per cent stake
P&L = -44¢ x £2 per cent stake
P&L = -£88 loss

Note - Anglogold Ashanti Rolling Daily market correct as of 09-Dec-10.
