How to Spread Bet on Applied Materials

How to Spread Bet on Applied Materials?


Should an investor want to speculate on US listed companies such as Applied Materials then one possibility is to spread trade on the Applied Materials share price.

Looking at Tradefair, we can see that they have priced the Applied Materials Rolling Daily market at $13.27 - $13.30. This means an investor could spread bet on the Applied Materials share price:

  Applied Materials Trading Example Going higher than $13.30, or
  Applied Materials Spread Betting Example Going lower than $13.27

When financial spread trading on US equities you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you decide to risk £2 per cent and the Applied Materials share price changes by $0.24 then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £48. £2 per cent x $0.24 = £48.

You can also invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no preset settlement date for this market. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will roll over to the next session.

If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:

  Applied Materials Spread Betting Example Rise - then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  Applied Materials Spread Betting Example Fall - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account

For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Applied Materials Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Betting Example


If you continue with the spread of $13.27 - $13.30 and assume that:
  • You have done your analysis of the company, and
  • Your analysis suggests the Applied Materials shares look like they will push above $13.30
Then you could decide that you are going to buy a spread bet at $13.30 and invest, let’s say, £5 per cent.

With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every cent that the Applied Materials shares rise higher than $13.30. Of course, you will lose £5 for every cent that the Applied Materials market decreases lower than $13.30.

Looked at another way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

As a result, if after a few days the share price moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet and therefore lock in your profits. So if the market rose then the spread might change to $13.51 - $13.54. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $13.51. Therefore, with the same £5 stake your profit would be calculated as:

Profit / loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($13.51 - $13.30) x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = $0.21 x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 21¢ x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £105 profit

Trading equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not easy. In this case, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, it can also fall.

If the Applied Materials shares had started to fall then you could choose to close your position in order to limit your losses.

So if the market fell to $13.06 - $13.09 you would close your position by selling at $13.06. If so, that would mean you would lose:

Profit / loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($13.06 - $13.30) x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -$0.24 x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -24¢ x £5 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£120 loss

Note: Applied Materials Rolling Daily spread quoted as of 06-Feb-13.
