How to Spread Bet on Elementis

How to Spread Bet on Elementis?


Should you decide to invest in companies such as Elementis then one solution could be to place a spread bet on the Elementis share price.

Looking at a financial spread betting website like Capitalspreads, we can see they are currently pricing the Elementis Rolling Daily market at 205.5p - 206.4p. This means you could spread bet on the Elementis shares:

  Elementis Spread Betting Example Going above 206.4p, or
  Elementis Spread Trading Example Going below 205.5p

Whilst making a spread bet on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, should you decide to invest £3 per penny and the Elementis share price moves 24p then that would make a difference to your profit/loss of £72. £3 per penny x 24p = £72.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that it does not have a set closing date. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it will roll over to the next session.

Should your trade roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:

  Elementis Spread Trading Example Move up - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
  Elementis Spread Trading Example Move down - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account

For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Elementis Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example


If we think about the spread of 205.5p - 206.4p and make the assumptions that:
  • You've completed your market research, and
  • Your research leads you to feel that the Elementis share price is likely to push higher than 206.4p
Then you might choose to buy at 206.4p for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £15 per penny.

With such a bet you make a profit of £15 for every penny that the Elementis shares go above 206.4p. Having said that, you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Elementis market goes lower than 206.4p.

Considering this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.

With this in mind, if after a few sessions the share price rose then you might consider closing your trade in order to lock in your profit. As an example, should the market rise, the spread might move to 214.7p - 215.6p. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at 214.7p. Accordingly, with the same £15 stake this trade would make you a profit of:

Your profit / loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profit / loss = (214.7p - 206.4p) x £15 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = 8.3p x £15 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = £124.50 profit

Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not always simple. In this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. However, it might go down.

If the Elementis shares had fallen then you could choose to close your position to limit your losses.

So if the market fell to 199.2p - 200.1p then you would close your position by selling at 199.2p. This would result in a loss of:

Your profit / loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profit / loss = (199.2p - 206.4p) x £15 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -7.2p x £15 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -£108.00 loss

Note: Elementis Rolling Daily equities market correct as of 31-Oct-12.
