How to Spread Bet on Barratt? |
If you decide to speculate on companies such as Barratt then one solution could be spread betting on the Barratt share price.
Logging into capital spreads, we can see that they are currently valuing the Barratt Rolling Daily market at 189.9p - 190.7p. Therefore, you could spread bet on the Barratt share price:
 Moving above 190.7p, or
 Moving below 189.9p
When financial spread trading on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you choose to have a stake of £3 per penny and the Barratt share price changes by 30p then that would make a difference to your profit/loss of £90. £3 per penny x 30p = £90.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore unlike a futures market, there is no closing date. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If a bet is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you'll usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then a small payment is often credited to your account

Barratt Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
If we think about the above spread of 189.9p - 190.7p and assume:
- You've done your analysis of the stock market, and
- Your analysis suggests the Barratt share price looks like it will go above 190.7p
Then you might decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 190.7p and invest, let’s say, £15 per penny.
Therefore, you make a profit of £15 for every penny that the Barratt shares increase and move higher than 190.7p. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Barratt market falls below 190.7p.
Looking at this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few days the stock moved higher then you might want to close your position in order to lock in your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to 198.1p - 198.9p. In order to close your trade you would sell at 198.1p. As a result, with the same £15 stake:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (198.1p - 190.7p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 7.4p x £15 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £111.00 profit
Trading equities, by spread trading or otherwise, is not easy. With this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Naturally, it can also go down.
If the Barratt shares began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet to limit your losses.
If the market dropped to 182.1p - 182.9p you would settle your trade by selling at 182.1p. As a result, your loss would be:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (182.1p - 190.7p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -8.6p x £15 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£129.00 loss
Note: Barratt Rolling Daily spread betting price correct as of 31-Oct-12.
