How to Spread Bet on BAE Systems

How to Spread Bet on BAE Systems?


If an investor is looking to speculate on firms such as BAE Systems then one solution is a spread bet on the BAE Systems share price.

Looking at a spread betting website like Inter Trader, you can see that they are currently offering the BAE Systems Rolling Daily market at 318.7p - 319.3p. This means an investor can spread trade on the BAE Systems shares:

  BAE Systems Spread Trading Example Moving higher than 319.3p, or
  BAE Systems Trading Example Moving lower than 318.7p

Whilst spread trading on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you chose to have a stake of £3 per penny and the BAE Systems share price moves 36p then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £108. £3 per penny x 36p = £108.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a normal futures market, there is no settlement date. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.

If a bet is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:

  BAE Systems Trading Example Go higher - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
  BAE Systems Trading Example Go lower - then a small payment is usually credited to your account

BAE Systems Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example


If you consider the spread of 318.7p - 319.3p and assume that:
  • You've completed your market research, and
  • Your research leads you to think that the BAE Systems share price looks like it will push above 319.3p
Then you may decide to go long of the market at 319.3p for a stake of, let’s say, £20 per penny.

Therefore, you make a profit of £20 for every penny that the BAE Systems shares rise higher than 319.3p. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will lose £20 for every penny that the BAE Systems market moves lower than 319.3p.

Looking at this from another angle, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.

If after a few trading sessions the share price started to move upwards then you could choose to close your spread bet so that you can secure your profit. As an example, if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 326.5p - 327.1p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 326.5p. So, with the same £20 stake your profit would be calculated as:

Profit = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (326.5p - 319.3p) x £20 per penny stake
Profit = 7.2p x £20 per penny stake
Profit = £144.00 profit

Trading equities, by spread betting or otherwise, is not straightforward. In this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Nevertheless, the share price can also fall.

If the BAE Systems stock began to drop then you could choose to close your spread bet to stop any further losses.

If the market dropped to 311.3p - 311.9p you would sell back your position at 311.3p. Accordingly, your loss would be:

Loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (311.3p - 319.3p) x £20 per penny stake
Loss = -8.0p x £20 per penny stake
Loss = -£160.00 loss

Note - BAE Systems Rolling Daily equities market accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
