How to Spread Bet on the Dutch 25

How to Spread Bet on the Dutch 25?


As with a lot of financial markets, an investor can place a spread bet on stock market indices, such as the Dutch 25, to either rise or fall.

Logging into Financial Spreads, you can see that they are valuing the Dutch 25 October Futures market at 329.0 - 330.0. As a result, you can spread bet on the Dutch 25 index:

  Dutch 25 Spread Trading Example Finishing higher than 330.0, or
  Dutch 25 Spread Betting Example Finishing lower than 329.0

On the expiry date for this 'October' market, 19-Oct-12.

Whilst spread trading on the Dutch 25 index you trade in £x per 0.1 points. Therefore, if you invest £2 per 0.1 points and the Dutch 25 moves 2.8 points then that would change your P&L by £56. £2 per 0.1 points x 2.8 points = £56.

For short term trading on a range of indices also see Indices Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Dutch 25 Futures - Indices Spread Betting Example


Now, if you take the above spread of 329.0 - 330.0 and make the assumptions:
  • You've completed your market research, and
  • Your analysis leads you to think the Dutch 25 index will close higher than 330.0 by 19-Oct-12
Then you might buy a spread bet at 330.0 and invest, for example, £2 per 0.1 points.

Therefore, you win £2 for every 0.1 points that the Dutch 25 index moves above 330.0. Conversely, however, you will make a loss of £2 for every 0.1 points that the Dutch 25 market falls below 330.0.

Looked at another way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

With that in mind, if, on the settlement date, the Dutch 25 market settled at 336.6, then:

Profit = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (336.6 - 330.0) x £2 per 0.1 points stake
Profit = 6.6 x £2 per 0.1 points stake
Profit = £132 profit

Trading stock market indices, whether by spread betting or not, is not always simple. In the above example, you had bet that the index would go up. Nevertheless, the index can also fall.

If the Dutch 25 had fallen, settling lower at 324.2, then you would end up making a loss and losing on this spread bet.

Loss = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (324.2 - 330.0) x £2 per 0.1 points stake
Loss = -5.8 x £2 per 0.1 points stake
Loss = -£116 loss

Note - Dutch 25 October Futures spread betting market taken as of 27-Sep-12.
