How to Spread Bet on EUR/CHF? |
As with a variety of financial markets, you can spread bet on foreign exchange rates, like EUR/CHF, to either rise or fall.
Looking at a platform like Capital Spreads, we can see they are currently valuing the EUR/CHF Rolling Daily market at SFr 1.20727 - SFr 1.20747. This means you can spread bet on the EUR/CHF pair:
 Increasing above SFr 1.20747, or
 Decreasing below SFr 1.20727
When placing a spread bet on EUR/CHF you trade in £x per point where a point is SFr 0.00010 of the pairs movement. As a result, should you decide to invest £3 per point and EUR/CHF moves 39.0 points then that would change your bottom line by £117. £3 per point x SFr 0.00390 = £3 per point x 39.0 points = £117.
Rolling Daily Forex Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so it does not have a closing date. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.
If your FX trade is rolled over then you will often be charged a small financing fee. For more information see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
EUR/CHF Rolling Daily - Foreign Exchange Spread Betting Example |
If we continue with the spread of SFr 1.20727 - SFr 1.20747 and assume:
- You have completed your analysis of the FX markets, and
- Your research leads you to feel the EUR/CHF market will move higher than SFr 1.20747
Then you could choose to buy a spread bet at SFr 1.20747 and risk, for the sake of argument, £2 per point.
With such a spread bet you win £2 for every point (SFr 0.00010) that the EUR/CHF rate increases above SFr 1.20747. Of course, it also means that you will lose £2 for every point that the EUR/CHF market decreases lower than SFr 1.20747.
Considering this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few hours the FX pair started to move upwards then you could choose to close your trade and therefore lock in your profits.
So if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to SFr 1.21230 - SFr 1.21250. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at SFr 1.21230. As a result, with the same £2 stake your profit would come to:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (SFr 1.21230 - SFr 1.20747) x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = SFr 0.00483 x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = 48.3 points x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = £96.60 profit
Spread betting is not always easy. In this case, you had bet that the forex rate would increase. Nevertheless, the forex rate can also go down.
If the EUR/CHF rate had fallen then you could choose to close your position to limit your losses.
So if the spread pulled back to SFr 1.20355 - SFr 1.20375 then you would close your spread bet by selling at SFr 1.20355. That would mean you would make a loss of:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (SFr 1.20355 - SFr 1.20747) x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = -SFr 0.00392 x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = -39.2 points x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = -£78.40 loss
Note: EUR/CHF Rolling Daily spread betting market accurate as of 11-Sep-12.
