How to Spread Bet on Forex - GBP/JPY Rolling Daily

As with a wide variety of markets, investors can speculate on currency pairs, like GBP/JPY, to either increase or decrease.

Looking at the Tradefair website, they are giving the GBP/JPY Rolling Daily market at ¥133.920 - ¥134.000. This means you could spread bet on the GBP/JPY foreign exchange rate:
  • Moving higher ¥134.000, or
  • Moving lower than ¥133.920
When spread betting on GBP/JPY you trade in £x per point where a point is ¥0.010 of the pairs movement. So, if you decided to invest £2 per point and GBP/JPY moves ¥0.050 then that would alter your profits (or losses) by £10. £2 per point x ¥0.050 = £2 per point x 5.0 points = £10.

Rolling Daily Foreign Exchange Markets

It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so in contrast with futures markets, there is no closing date. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next trading session.

If you do roll over a position and you are spread betting that the market will:
  • Move higher - then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  • Move lower - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account
To find out more about Rolling Daily Markets read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.

GBP/JPY Rolling Daily Trading Example

Now, if we consider the spread of ¥133.920 - ¥134.000 and assume:
  • you have analysed the FX markets, and
  • it leads you to feel that the GBP/JPY rate will increase and move higher than ¥134.000
then you may decide to buy at ¥134.000 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £1 per point.

Therefore, you win £1 for every point (¥0.010) that the GBP/JPY currency rate rises above ¥134.000. Of course, it also means that you will make a loss of £1 for every point that the GBP/JPY market goes below ¥134.000.

Looked at another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

As a result, if the forex rate rose then you might consider closing your trade in order to lock in your profit. If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to ¥134.938 - ¥135.018. To close your position you would sell at ¥134.938. So, with the same £1 stake you would make:

Profit = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit = (¥134.938 - ¥134.000) x £1 per point stake
Profit = ¥0.938 x £1 per point stake
Profit = 93.8 points x £1 per point stake
Profit = £93.80 profit

Trading FX doesn't always go to plan. With the above, you wanted the forex rate to rise. Of course, the currency rate could go down.

If the GBP/JPY market began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your position to stop any further losses.

Should the spread drop to ¥133.196 - ¥133.276 then you would close your trade by selling at ¥133.196. So your loss would be calculated as:

Loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Loss = (¥133.196 - ¥134.000) x £1 per point stake
Loss = ¥ 0.804 x £1 per point stake
Loss = -80.4 points x £1 per point stake
Loss = -£80.40 loss

Note: GBP/JPY Rolling Daily spread betting market correct as of 07-Mar-11.


Where can I Find Free Live Prices on GBP / JPY?
