How to Spread Bet on Big Yellow

How to Spread Bet on Big Yellow?


Should you want to speculate on UK listed companies such as Big Yellow then one possibility could be to spread bet on the Big Yellow share price.

Looking at a financial spread betting platform like Selftrade Markets, you can see they are currently pricing the Big Yellow Rolling Daily market at 342.1p - 344.2p. As a result, you could spread bet on the Big Yellow shares:

  Big Yellow Spread Betting Example Increasing higher than 344.2p, or
  Big Yellow Trading Example Decreasing lower than 342.1p

Whilst financial spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, should you decide to invest £4 per penny and the Big Yellow share price moves 23p then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £92. £4 per penny x 23p = £92.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a futures market, there is no settlement date. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next session.

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

  Big Yellow Trading Example Rise - then you are usually charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  Big Yellow Trading Example Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account

For a worked example please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Big Yellow Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example


If we consider the above spread of 342.1p - 344.2p and make the assumptions:
  • You've analysed the stock markets, and
  • Your analysis leads you to think the Big Yellow shares are likely to increase and go above 344.2p
Then you might go long of the market at 344.2p and risk £10 per penny.

So, you gain £10 for every penny that the Big Yellow shares rise higher than 344.2p. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will make a loss of £10 for every penny that the Big Yellow market falls below 344.2p.

Put another way, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement 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 shares started to increase then you might think about closing your position and therefore lock in your profits. As an example, if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to 355.9p - 358.0p. To close your trade you would sell at 355.9p. Accordingly, with the same £10 stake:

Your profit / loss = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your profit / loss = (355.9p - 344.2p) x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = 11.7p x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = £117.00 profit

Speculating on shares is not simple. With this example, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, it could go down.

If the Big Yellow stock began to drop then you could choose to close your position in order to restrict your losses.

So if the market pulled back to 333.9p - 336.0p then you would settle your spread bet by selling at 333.9p. If so, that would mean you would lose:

Your profit / loss = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your profit / loss = (333.9p - 344.2p) x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -10.3p x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -£103.00 loss

Note - Big Yellow Rolling Daily market quoted as of 31-Oct-12.
