How to Spread Bet on Charter Shares?


Currently, the Charter (December) market is 598.6p - 601.7p with TradefairSpreads. This market expires on 15-Dec-09.

Like many markets, you can financial spread trade on the future price of shares, like Charter shares, rising or falling.

This means you can trade on Charter shares settling:
  1. Above 601.7p, or
  2. Below 598.6p
On the expiry date for this market, 15-Dec-09.

When financial spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny, where a penny, in this case, is 1p of Charter share price movement.

As an example, if your stake was £3 per penny and the Charter shares move 20p then that would be a £60 difference to your bottom line.

Spread Trading Example – Charter Shares


So, if you consider the spread of 598.6p - 601.7p and make the assumptions:

a) you have done your market research, and
b) you think that the Charter shares look like they will close higher than 601.7p on 15-Dec-09 Then, as a result, you might buy at 601.7p for a stake of, let's say, £2 per penny.

If you 'Buy' a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the settlement level of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference by the stake per penny of share price movement.

Therefore, if, on the closing date, the market settles at 635p, then:

Profit and loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake.

Profit and loss = (635.0p - 601.7p) x £2 per penny stake.

Profit and loss = 33.3p x £2 per penny stake.

Profit and loss = £66.60 profit.

Spread trading shares is not always straightforward. If the market didn't move as predicted, and had the Charter stock fallen and the market closed at a lower value of 570p, then you would have lost on this spread bet.

Profit and loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake.

Profit and loss = (570.0p - 601.7p) x £2 per penny stake.

Profit and loss = -31.7p x £2 per penny stake.

Profit and loss = -£63.40 loss.
