How to Spread Bet on the France 40? |
As with many global markets, investors can place a spread bet on stock market indices, such as the France 40, to either increase or decrease.
Looking at a spread trading site like Capitalspreads, you can see they are offering the France 40 Rolling Daily market at 3442.0 - 3443.0. Therefore, you can put a spread bet on the France 40 index:
 Increasing above 3443.0, or
 Decreasing below 3442.0
When spread trading on the France 40 index you trade in £x per point. So, if you invest £2 per point and the France 40 moves 31 points then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £62. £2 per point x 31 points = £62.
Rolling Daily Index Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no settlement date for this market. If you leave your position open at the end of the day, it will roll over to the next session.
If a trade is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Rise - then you normally pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
For more information see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
France 40 Rolling Daily - Indices Trading Example |
Now, if we think about the spread of 3442.0 - 3443.0 and assume:
- You've completed your stock market analysis, and
- Your analysis suggests the France 40 index will go above 3443.0
Then you might decide to go long of the market at 3443.0 and risk, let’s say, £2 per point.
With such a spread bet you win £2 for every point that the France 40 index pushes higher than 3443.0. On the other hand, it also means you will lose £2 for every point that the France 40 market moves below 3443.0.
Looked at another way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few days the French stock market started to increase then you might think about closing your trade in order to guarantee your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 3489.5 - 3490.5. You would settle your position by selling at 3489.5. So, with the same £2 stake your profit would be calculated as:
P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (3489.5 - 3443.0) x £2 per point stake
P&L = 46.5 x £2 per point stake
P&L = £93.00 profit
Trading indices, whether by spread betting or not, is not straightforward. With the above, you wanted the French index to increase. However, the index could fall.
If the France 40 market began to drop then you might choose to close your position to limit your losses.
So if the spread fell to 3389.6 - 3390.6 then this means you would settle your position by selling at 3389.6. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (3389.6 - 3443.0) x £2 per point stake
P&L = -53.4 x £2 per point stake
P&L = -£106.80 loss
Note: France 40 Rolling Daily spread betting market accurate as of 26-Sep-12.
