How to Spread Bet on CAD/JPY?

As with a variety of financial markets, it is possible to place a spread bet on forex rates, such as CAD/JPY, to either increase or decrease.

Looking at a spread betting site like Selftrade Markets, we can see that they are currently showing the CAD/JPY Rolling Daily market at ¥80.001 – ¥80.051. As a result, an investor can spread bet on the CAD/JPY pair:

  CAD/JPY Spread Trading Example Rising above ¥80.051, or
  CAD/JPY Spread Betting Example Falling below ¥80.001

Whilst placing a spread bet on CAD/JPY you trade in £x per point where a point is ¥0.010 of the pairs movement. Therefore, if you decided to invest £5 per point and CAD/JPY moves 36.0 points then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £180. £5 per point x ¥0.360 = £5 per point x 36.0 points = £180.

Rolling Daily FX Markets

Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore there is no preset closing date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next day.

If your FX position does roll over then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee. To see a fully worked example read Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


CAD/JPY Trading Example 1

So, if we continue with the spread of ¥80.001 – ¥80.051 and make the assumptions that:

  • You’ve analysed the foreign exchange markets, and
  • Your research leads you to feel that the CAD/JPY rate will go higher than ¥80.051
Then you may decide to go long of the market at ¥80.051 and invest £4 per point.

So, you gain £4 for every point (¥0.010) that the CAD/JPY rate pushes above ¥80.051. However, you will make a loss of £4 for every point that the CAD/JPY market moves below ¥80.051.

Looked at another way, if you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.

With this in mind, if after a few hours the forex rate rose then you might consider closing your position in order to secure your profit.

So if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to ¥80.331 – ¥80.381. To settle/close your trade you would sell at ¥80.331. Accordingly, with the same £4 stake this trade would result in a profit of:

P&L = (Final Level – Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (¥80.331 – ¥80.051) x £4 per point stake
P&L = ¥0.280 x £4 per point stake
P&L = 28.0 points x £4 per point stake
P&L = £112.00 profit

Trading forex, by spread betting or otherwise, is not simple. In the above example, you wanted the currency pair to rise. Of course, the FX rate might fall.

If the CAD/JPY market weakened, against your expectations, then you could choose to close your position in order to restrict your losses.

If the market fell to ¥79.811 – ¥79.861 then this means you would close your spread bet by selling at ¥79.811. As a result, your loss would be:

P&L = (Final Level – Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (¥79.811 – ¥80.051) x £4 per point stake
P&L = -¥0.240 x £4 per point stake
P&L = -24.0 points x £4 per point stake
P&L = -£96.00 loss

Note – CAD/JPY Rolling Daily spread correct as of 11-Sep-12.

How to Spread Bet on Canadian Dollar - Yen

How to Spread Bet on Canadian Dollar – Yen – Example 2

Looking at a website like FinancialSpreads.com, we can see they are valuing the Canadian Dollar – Yen Rolling Daily market at ¥80.637 – ¥80.687. Therefore, an investor can spread trade on the Canadian Dollar – Yen pair:

  Canadian Dollar - Yen Spread Betting Example Moving above ¥80.687, or
  Canadian Dollar - Yen Trading Example Moving below ¥80.637

When spread betting on Canadian Dollar – Yen you trade in £x per point where a point is ¥0.010 of the pairs movement. Therefore, if you decide to have a stake of £4 per point and Canadian Dollar – Yen moves 34.0 points then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £136. £4 per point x ¥0.340 = £4 per point x 34.0 points = £136.

So, if you continue with the spread of ¥80.637 – ¥80.687 and assume:

  • You’ve completed your analysis of the markets, and
  • Your research leads you to feel that the Canadian Dollar – Yen rate will move higher than ¥80.687
Then you may decide to buy at ¥80.687 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £3 per point.

So, you win £3 for every point (¥0.010) that the Canadian Dollar – Yen rate rises above ¥80.687. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will lose £3 for every point that the Canadian Dollar – Yen market decreases lower than ¥80.687.

Thinking of this in a slightly different way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

Therefore, if after a few sessions the forex pair started to increase then you might think about closing your trade to secure your profit.

Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to ¥81.050 – ¥81.100. You would close your trade by selling at ¥81.050. As a result, with the same £3 stake you would make a profit of:

Profits (or losses) = (Closing Price – Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (¥81.050 – ¥80.687) x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = ¥0.363 x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 36.3 points x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = £108.90 profit

Speculating on currencies is not always simple. In this case, you wanted the currency pair to go up. However, it could fall.

If the Canadian Dollar – Yen market weakened, against your expectations, then you might choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.

Should the spread drop to ¥80.275 – ¥80.325 then you would settle your trade by selling at ¥80.275. If so, this would result in a loss of:

Profits (or losses) = (Closing Price – Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (¥80.275 – ¥80.687) x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -¥0.412 x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -41.2 points x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -£123.60 loss
