How to Spread Bet on DSM

How to Spread Bet on DSM?


If you want to invest in European listed companies such as DSM then one solution could be to spread bet on the DSM share price.

Looking at a site like capital spreads, you can see that they are pricing the DSM Rolling Daily market at €46.45 - €46.57. As a result, you can put a spread bet on the DSM share price:

  DSM Spread Trading Example Going higher than €46.57, or
  DSM Trading Example Going lower than €46.45

When financial spread trading on Dutch equities you trade in £x per cent. So, should you choose to invest £4 per cent and the DSM shares move €0.23 then that would alter your profit/loss by £92. £4 per cent x €0.23 = £92.

Note that you are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore there is no predetermined closing date for this market. If your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.

If you allow your position to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:

  DSM Trading Example Rise - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
  DSM Trading Example Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account

For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


DSM Rolling Daily - Dutch Equities Trading Example


Now, if we think about the above spread of €46.45 - €46.57 and assume:
  • You have completed your analysis, and
  • Your research suggests that the DSM share price is likely to increase and go above €46.57
Then you might choose to buy at €46.57 and risk £2 per cent.

With such a bet you win £2 for every cent that the DSM shares increase and move higher than €46.57. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the DSM market decreases below €46.57.

Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is 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 the stake.

Therefore, if after a few days the share price moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit. So if the market rose then the spread might move to €47.27 - €47.39. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at €47.27. As a result, with the same £2 stake you would make:

Profit = (Final Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit = (€47.27 - €46.57) x £2 per cent stake
Profit = €0.70 x £2 per cent stake
Profit = 70c x £2 per cent stake
Profit = £140 profit

Speculating on shares, whether by spread betting or not, can work against you. With this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, it might go down.

If the DSM stock decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could choose to close your position to stop any further losses.

Should the spread pull back to €45.78 - €45.90 then this means you would close your trade by selling at €45.78. So your loss would be calculated as:

Loss = (Final Level - Opening Level) x stake
Loss = (€45.78 - €46.57) x £2 per cent stake
Loss = -€0.79 x £2 per cent stake
Loss = -79c x £2 per cent stake
Loss = -£158 loss

Note: DSM Rolling Daily spread betting price accurate as of 23-Jan-13.
