How to Spread Trade on the CAC 40?
As with many markets, you can financial spread trade on the value of Indices. In other words, you can trade on Indices, like the CAC 40, going up or going down.
At the time of writing the CAC 40 (October) price is 5776 - 5780 with FinancialSpreads.com. This market expires on 19-Oct-07.
Therefore you can spread bet on the CAC 40 settling:
- Above than 5780, or
- Below 5776
By the expiry date of 19-Oct-07.
With the CAC 40, you trade in £X per point, where a point is 1 point of CAC 40 movement. Eg if your stake was £16 per point and the CAC 40 moves 4 points then that would be a £64 difference to your P&L.
CAC 40 Financial Spread Betting Example
Let's say, taking the above spread of 5776 - 5780 that you have done your market research and think that the CAC 40 will rise to more than 5780 by 19-Oct-07.
Therefore you buy at 5780 for a stake of £8 per point.
And let's say that by the settlement date the Index closes at 5793.
If so, your profit is calculated by taking the difference between the final price of 5793 and the value you bought the spread at, ie 5780 and then multiplying that by the stake per point.
Profits = (5793 - 5780) x £8 per point stake.
= 13 points x £8 per point stake.
= £104 profit.
But if the market didn't move as expected, and had the CAC 40 fallen to a lower than expected price of 5748, then you would have lost money on your investment.
Loss = (5748 - 5780) x £8 per point stake.
= -32 points x £8 per point stake.
= -£256 loss.
Note: CAC 40 spread betting example prices quoted: 21-Oct-07.
Where can I Find Free Live Prices on the CAC 40?
If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a firm like Financial Spreads.
Also, you don't have to trade with them, if you just open an account (which is free to do) then their data is free. The catch? You'll get the odd email or letter from them. In the example below you can also see that their free charts are also useful.
There are also live prices available at:
Where can I Find Free CAC 40 Charts?
As mentioned above, you can get free charts with spread betting companies like Financial Spreads.
You can alter the charts to see market data by the minute, by the hour, by the week etc, plus many other settings to help you analyse the charts.
As you can see the charts show how the market's are not perfect and how you can expect the prices to "gap".
FinancialSpreads.com also have another pretty handy tool in their free Demo account (mentioned above). You can open a Demo account and place demo trades whilst you practice with no risk or cost attached.
