How to Spread Bet on US Shares - Cisco Rolling Daily
If an investor wants to speculate on firms such as Cisco then one option could be spread betting on the Cisco share price.
If you were to look at the Tradefair spread betting site, they are currently giving the Cisco Rolling Daily market at $21.61 - $21.67. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the Cisco shares:
- Moving higher than $21.67, or
- Moving lower than $21.61
Whilst financial spread trading on US equities you trade in £x per cent. As a result, should you decide to invest £4 per cent and the Cisco share price moves $0.05 then that would alter your bottom line by £20. £4 per cent x $0.05 = £20.
You are also able to trade this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset closing date for this market. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
- Go up - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
- Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account

Cisco Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example
Now, if we think about the above spread of $21.61 - $21.67 and assume:
- you have done your analysis of the markets, and
- it leads you to think that the Cisco share price looks like it will move higher than $21.67
then you could choose to buy a spread bet at $21.67 and risk, for the sake of argument, £2 per cent.
So, you win £2 for every cent that the Cisco shares push above $21.67. Having said that, you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the Cisco market moves below $21.67.
Considering this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
As a result, if the stock moved higher then you could consider closing your position in order to lock in your profit.
If that happened then the spread might change to $22.54 - $22.60. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $22.54. Accordingly, with the same £2 stake your profit would be:
P&L = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($22.54 - $21.67) x £2 per cent stake
P&L = $0.87 x £2 per cent stake
P&L = 87¢ x £2 per cent stake
P&L = £174 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not always easy. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Naturally, it can also fall.
If the Cisco share price had started to drop then you might decide to settle/close your trade in order to limit your losses.
If the spread dropped to $20.91 - $20.97 then this means you would settle your spread bet by selling at $20.91. That would mean you would make a loss of:
P&L = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($20.91 - $21.67) x £2 per cent stake
P&L = -$0.76 x £2 per cent stake
P&L = -76¢ x £2 per cent stake
P&L = -£152 loss
Note - Cisco Rolling Daily market quoted as of 29-Jun-10.
