How to Spread Bet on Electronic Arts? |
Should an investor want to invest in US listed companies like Electronic Arts then one option could be spread betting on the Electronic Arts share price.
Looking at a spread trading website like InterTrader, we can see they are currently offering the Electronic Arts Rolling Daily market at $16.87 - $16.90. This means that an investor could put a spread bet on the Electronic Arts share price:
 Increasing higher than $16.90, or
 Decreasing lower than $16.87
When financial spread trading on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you staked £3 per cent and the Electronic Arts share price changes by $0.21 then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £63. £3 per cent x $0.21 = £63.
You are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore there is no predetermined closing date for this market. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If a bet is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Go up - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account
For more information on Rolling Daily Markets, and a fully worked example, please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Electronic Arts Rolling Daily - US Shares Spread Trading Example |
Now, if you think about the above spread of $16.87 - $16.90 and assume:
- You've done your equities research, and
- Your analysis suggests the Electronic Arts share price is likely to push higher than $16.90
Then you may choose to go long of the market at $16.90 and risk, let’s say, £5 per cent.
So, you win £5 for every cent that the Electronic Arts shares increase and go above $16.90. Conversely, however, it also means that you will lose £5 for every cent that the Electronic Arts market falls below $16.90.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated 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.
Therefore, if after a few sessions the shares moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet and therefore guarantee your profits.
Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to $17.15 - $17.18. You would settle your position by selling at $17.15. As a result, with the same £5 stake you would make a profit of:
Your Profit / loss = (Settlement Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($17.15 - $16.90) x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = $0.25 x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = 25¢ x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = £125 profit
Trading shares, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not always simple. With this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, the share price can also go down.
If the Electronic Arts share price fell then you might choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.
So if the spread pulled back to $16.68 - $16.71 you would settle your trade by selling at $16.68. As a result, your loss would be:
Your Profit / loss = (Settlement Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($16.68 - $16.90) x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -$0.22 x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -22¢ x £5 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -£110 loss
Note - Electronic Arts Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 06-Feb-13.
