How to Spread Bet on Indices - Dutch 25 Futures


As with many of the world's markets, investors can place a spread bet on stock market indices, such as the Dutch 25, to either increase or decrease.

Looking at the InterTrader spread trading site, they are giving the Dutch 25 March Futures market at 370.4 - 371.4. As a result, you could spread trade on the Dutch 25 market:
  • Settling higher than 371.4, or
  • Settling lower than 370.4
On the closing date for this 'March' market, 18-Mar-11.

When spread trading on the Dutch 25 index you trade in £x per 0.1 points. Therefore, if you invest £6 per 0.1 points and the Dutch 25 moves 0.5 points then that would alter your bottom line by £30. £6 per 0.1 points x 0.5 points = £30.

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

Dutch 25 Futures Spread Betting Example

Now, if you think about the above spread of 370.4 - 371.4 and make the assumptions that:
  • you have completed your market research, and
  • it leads you to feel that the Dutch 25 index will finish above 371.4 by 18-Mar-11
then you might decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 371.4 and invest, let’s say, £3 per 0.1 points.

So, you gain £3 for every 0.1 points that the Dutch 25 index moves higher than 371.4. Conversely, however, you will lose £3 for every 0.1 points that the Dutch 25 market goes below 371.4.

Considering this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

Therefore, if, on the closing date, the Dutch 25 index settled at 375.1, then:

Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (375.1 - 371.4) x £3 per 0.1 points stake
Profit / loss = 3.7 x £3 per 0.1 points stake
Profit / loss = £111 profit

Speculating on indices, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not straightforward. In this example, you had bet that the index would go up. Naturally, the index could fall.

If the Dutch 25 decreased and closed at 368.1, then you would end up losing on this market.

Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (368.1 - 371.4) x £3 per 0.1 points stake
Profit / loss = -3.3 x £3 per 0.1 points stake
Profit / loss = -£99 loss

Note - Dutch 25 March Futures spread betting price accurate as of 16-Feb-11.


Where can I Find Free Live Prices on the Dutch 25?

If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a firm like Financial Spreads.

Also, you don't have to trade with them, if you just open an account (which is free to do) then their data is free. The catch? You'll get the odd email or letter from them. In the example below you can also see that their free charts are also useful.

There are also live prices available at:


Where can I Find Free Dutch 25 Charts?

As mentioned above, you can get free charts with spread betting companies like Financial Spreads.

You can alter the charts to see market data by the minute, by the hour, by the week etc, plus many other settings to help you analyse the charts.

As you can see the charts show how the market's are not perfect and how you can expect the prices to "gap".

FinancialSpreads.com also have another pretty handy tool in their free Demo account (mentioned above). You can open a Demo account and place demo trades whilst you practice with no risk or cost attached.
