How to Spread Bet on US Shares - Caterpillar Rolling Daily
If you want to speculate on US companies such as Caterpillar then one option could be spread trading on the Caterpillar share price.
Looking at the Paddy Power spread betting website, they are currently giving the Caterpillar Rolling Daily market at $66.52 - $66.61. Therefore, an investor can spread bet on the Caterpillar share price:
- Increasing above $66.61, or
- Decreasing below $66.52
Whilst spread trading on US shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you invested £2 per cent and the Caterpillar shares move $0.05 then that would be a difference to your P&L of £10. £2 per cent x $0.05 = £10.
You are also able to trade this market in Euros or Dollars.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that there is no predetermined closing date for this market. If a trade is still open when the markets close at the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next day.
Should your spread bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
- Go up - then you are charged a small overnight financing fee, or
- Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
For more information see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Caterpillar Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Trading Example
Now, if we consider the spread of $66.52 - $66.61 and make the assumptions:
- you have done your analysis of the markets, and
- you feel that the Caterpillar shares are likely to increase and move above $66.61
then you might decide that you are going to go long of the market at $66.61 and risk £1 per cent.
With such a bet you make a profit of £1 for every cent that the Caterpillar shares move higher than $66.61. Having said that, it also means that you will make a loss of £1 for every cent that the Caterpillar market goes lower than $66.61.
Considering this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if after a few sessions the share price moved higher then you could consider closing your position in order to guarantee your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to $67.78 - $67.87. In order to close your position you would sell at $67.78. So, with the same £1 stake you would make a profit of:
P&L = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($67.78 - $66.61) x £1 per cent stake
P&L = $1.17 x £1 per cent stake
P&L = 117¢ x £1 per cent stake
P&L = £117 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not easy. In this case, you had bet that the share price would go up. Nevertheless, the share price could decrease.
If the Caterpillar shares weakened, against your expectations, then you might choose to close your trade to limit your losses.
Should the spread pull back to $65.61 - $65.70 then this means you would close your spread bet by selling at $65.61. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($65.61 - $66.61) x £1 per cent stake
P&L = -$1.00 x £1 per cent stake
P&L = -100¢ x £1 per cent stake
P&L = -£100 loss
Note - Caterpillar Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 14-Jul-10.

Where can I Find Candlestick Charts for Caterpillar?
Like live prices, if you want to access candlestick charts for US shares then you generally need to open an account with a spread betting company that offers US shares. Note that accounts are subject to status.
If your application is approved then you can log on to their website and access their candlestick charts.
You can usually alter the charts to see market data by the tick, by the minute, by the hour, by the week etc. There are also other options that allow you to easily add analysis such as Bollinger Bands and Moving Averages.
As you can see the charts show how US share prices, as with most financial spread betting markets, are not perfect and how you can expect the prices to "gap".
