How to Spread Bet on Compass? |
If you are looking to speculate on companies like Compass then one possibility is to spread bet on the Compass share price.
Looking at a website like Financial Spreads, we can see they have put the Compass Rolling Daily market at 686.1p - 687.9p. Therefore, an investor could spread bet on the Compass share price:
 Rising above 687.9p, or
 Falling below 686.1p
Whilst financial spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you decide to risk £4 per penny and the Compass share price changes by 37p then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £148. £4 per penny x 37p = £148.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore unlike a futures market, there is no closing date. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next trading session.
If a spread bet is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Move up - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Move down - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
You can learn more about Rolling Daily Markets in our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Compass Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
Now, if you take the above spread of 686.1p - 687.9p and assume that:
- You've completed your market analysis, and
- Your research leads you to feel that the Compass share price is likely to increase and go above 687.9p
Then you could buy a spread bet at 687.9p and invest £10 per penny.
Therefore, you win £10 for every penny that the Compass shares move higher than 687.9p. Nevertheless, it also means that you will lose £10 for every penny that the Compass market goes below 687.9p.
Put another way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is found 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.
If after a few days the stock moved higher then you might want to close your trade in order to guarantee your profit.
If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 705.1p - 706.9p. In order to close your position you would sell at 705.1p. Accordingly, with the same £10 stake your profit would be:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (705.1p - 687.9p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 17.2p x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £172.00 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not always easy. In this case, you wanted the share price to go up. However, the share price might fall.
If the Compass shares had started to fall then you might choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.
So if the market fell to 672.3p - 674.1p you would close your position by selling at 672.3p. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (672.3p - 687.9p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -15.6p x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£156.00 loss
Note: Compass Rolling Daily spread taken as of 19-Oct-12.
