How to Spread Bet on Forex - AUD/USD Rolling Daily
As with many markets, you can place a spread bet on FX rates, like AUD/USD, to go up or down.
Looking at the Tradefair spread betting site, they are pricing the AUD/USD Rolling Daily market at $1.01690 - $1.01700. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the AUD/USD foreign exchange rate:
- Increasing above $1.01700, or
- Decreasing below $1.01690
When financial spread betting on AUD/USD you trade in £x per point where a point is $0.00010 of the pairs movement. So, if you staked £4 per point and AUD/USD moves $0.00050 then that would be a difference to your P&L of £20. £4 per point x $0.00050 = £4 per point x 5.0 points = £20.
Rolling Daily Forex Markets
You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it will simply roll over to the next session.
If you allow your trade to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
- Go up - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
- Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed breakdown of Rolling Daily Markets please read our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
AUD/USD Rolling Daily Trading Example
Now, if you think about the above spread of $1.01690 - $1.01700 and make the assumptions:
- you have done your market research, and
- you think that the AUD/USD rate will go above $1.01700
then you might decide to buy at $1.01700 and risk £2 per point.
So, you win £2 for every point ($0.00010) that the AUD/USD currency rate pushes higher than $1.01700. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will lose £2 for every point that the AUD/USD market decreases lower than $1.01700.
Looked at another way, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few days the forex rate started to rise you might decide to close your spread bet so that you can secure your profit.
If that happened then the spread, set by the spread betting company, might change to $1.02158 - $1.02168. You would settle/close your trade by selling at $1.02158. Therefore, with the same £2 stake you would make a profit of:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($1.02158 - $1.01700) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.00458 x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 45.8 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = £91.60 profit
Speculating on FX, by spread trading or otherwise, is not always easy. In this example, you had bet that the forex pair would increase. Of course, it can also decrease.
If the AUD/USD market had fallen then you could choose to close your spread bet to stop any further losses.
So if the market pulled back to $1.01192 - $1.01202 then you would settle your position by selling at $1.01192. This would result in a loss of:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($1.01192 - $1.01700) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.00508 x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -50.8 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -£101.60 loss

Where can I Find Free Live Prices on AUD/USD?
If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a firm like Financial Spreads.
