How to Spread Bet on FirstGroup? |
If an investor decides to invest in firms such as FirstGroup then one solution could be spread trading on the FirstGroup share price.
Logging onto FinancialSpreads, you can see they are currently pricing the FirstGroup Rolling Daily market at 191.3p - 192.1p. As a result, an investor can spread trade on the FirstGroup share price:
 Going above 192.1p, or
 Going below 191.3p
When spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you decided to invest £3 per penny and the FirstGroup share price changes by 21p then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £63. £3 per penny x 21p = £63.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so it does not have a settlement date. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next day.
Should your spread bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Rise - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed breakdown of Rolling Daily Markets please read our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
FirstGroup Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
Now, if we take the spread of 191.3p - 192.1p and make the assumptions:
- You've done your analysis of the markets, and
- Your research leads you to think that the FirstGroup share price looks like it will move higher than 192.1p
Then you could decide that you are going to buy at 192.1p and invest £15 per penny.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £15 for every penny that the FirstGroup shares increase and move above 192.1p. On the other hand, you will lose £15 for every penny that the FirstGroup market moves lower than 192.1p.
Considering this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
As a result, if after a few days the shares rose then you might consider closing your trade in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread might change to 199.4p - 200.2p. To close your trade you would sell at 199.4p. Accordingly, with the same £15 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit = (Final Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit = (199.4p - 192.1p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit = 7.3p x £15 per penny stake
Profit = £109.50 profit
Spread betting on equities is not simple. With this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Naturally, it can also fall.
If the FirstGroup share price had started to fall then you might choose to close your position to limit your losses.
Should the spread pull back to 186.0p - 186.8p you would close your spread bet by selling at 186.0p. So your loss would be calculated as:
Loss = (Final Value - Opening Value) x stake
Loss = (186.0p - 192.1p) x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -6.1p x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -£91.50 loss
Note - FirstGroup Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 31-Oct-12.
