How to Spread Bet on the Germany 30

How to Spread Bet on the Germany 30?


As with a wide range of markets, an investor can speculate on indices, such as the Germany 30, to either increase or decrease.

Looking at a website like Tradefair, we can see they are showing the Germany 30 Rolling Daily market at 7294.3 - 7295.3. This means that an investor could put a spread bet on the Germany 30 index:

  Germany 30 Trading Example Going higher than 7295.3, or
  Germany 30 Spread Trading Example Going lower than 7294.3

Whilst spread betting on the Germany 30 index you trade in £x per point. So, if your stake was £5 per point and the Germany 30 moves 27 points then that would change your P&L by £135. £5 per point x 27 points = £135.

Rolling Daily Indices Markets

One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no set closing date for this market. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.

If a position is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:

  Germany 30 Spread Trading Example Increase - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  Germany 30 Spread Trading Example Decrease - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account

You can learn more about Rolling Daily Markets in our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Germany 30 Rolling Daily - Index Spread Trading Example


So, if you take the spread of 7294.3 - 7295.3 and assume:
  • You've done your stock market research, and
  • Your analysis leads you to feel that the Germany 30 index will move higher than 7295.3
Then you might decide to go long of the market at 7295.3 for a stake of £3 per point.

So, you win £3 for every point that the Germany 30 index increases above 7295.3. Nevertheless, you will lose £3 for every point that the Germany 30 market falls lower than 7295.3.

Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

As a result, if after a few hours the German stock market rose then you might consider closing your spread bet so that you can secure your profit.

If that happened then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 7350.0 - 7351.0. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at 7350.0. As a result, with the same £3 stake this trade would make you a profit of:

Profit = (Final Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit = (7350.0 - 7295.3) x £3 per point stake
Profit = 54.7 x £3 per point stake
Profit = £164.10 profit

Financial spread trading is not straightforward. In this example, you wanted the German index to go up. However, the index might decrease.

If the Germany 30 market fell then you could choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.

Should the market fall back to 7247.9 - 7248.9 you would sell back your position at 7247.9. So your loss would be calculated as:

Loss = (Final Value - Opening Value) x stake
Loss = (7247.9 - 7295.3) x £3 per point stake
Loss = -47.4 x £3 per point stake
Loss = -£142.20 loss

Note: Germany 30 Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 26-Sep-12.
