How to Spread Bet on Berkeley Group

How to Spread Bet on Berkeley Group?


If you are going to invest in firms such as Berkeley then one possibility could be spread trading on the Berkeley share price.

Looking at a spread betting platform like InterTrader, we can see they are showing the Berkeley Rolling Daily market at 1522.1p - 1526.9p. Therefore, an investor could spread trade on the Berkeley shares:

  Berkeley Spread Trading Example Going higher than 1526.9p, or
  Berkeley Spread Betting Example Going lower than 1522.1p

Whilst financial spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. So, if you decided to have a stake of £2 per penny and the Berkeley share price changes by 23p then that would make a difference to your P&L of £46. £2 per penny x 23p = £46.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it will roll over to the next session.

If you allow your bet to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:

  Berkeley Spread Betting Example Rise - then you'll usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  Berkeley Spread Betting Example Fall - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account

For more information see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Berkeley Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example


Now, if you continue with the spread of 1522.1p - 1526.9p and make the assumptions:
  • You have done your analysis of the shares, and
  • Your research suggests that the Berkeley shares look like they will push higher than 1526.9p
Then you could decide that you are going to go long of the market at 1526.9p for a stake of £3 per penny.

So, you make a profit of £3 for every penny that the Berkeley shares rise above 1526.9p. Of course, you will make a loss of £3 for every penny that the Berkeley market decreases lower than 1526.9p.

Considering this from another angle, should 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 market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

As a result, if after a few sessions the stock moved higher then you might want to close your position and therefore guarantee your profits. Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 1581.9p - 1586.7p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 1581.9p. So, with the same £3 stake your profit would be calculated as:

Profit = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (1581.9p - 1526.9p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit = 55.0p x £3 per penny stake
Profit = £165.00 profit

Trading equities, by spread betting or otherwise, can fail to go to plan. In this case, you wanted the share price to go up. Nevertheless, the share price can also go down.

If the Berkeley shares began to drop then you might choose to close your position to stop any further losses.

Should the spread drop to 1477.3p - 1482.1p then this means you would close your trade by selling at 1477.3p. If so, this would result in a loss of:

Loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (1477.3p - 1526.9p) x £3 per penny stake
Loss = -49.6p x £3 per penny stake
Loss = -£148.80 loss

Note: Berkeley Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 31-Oct-12.
