How to Spread Bet on Grafton? |
If you decide to invest in European listed companies like Grafton then one option could be to spread bet on the Grafton share price.
Logging onto Financial Spreads, you can see that they are offering the Grafton Rolling Daily market at €3.55 - €3.61. This means an investor could spread trade on the Grafton share price:
 Increasing above €3.61, or
 Decreasing below €3.55
Whilst financial spread betting on Irish shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you choose to have a stake of £3 per cent and the Grafton share price changes by €0.33 then that would make a difference to your P&L of £99. £3 per cent x €0.33 = £99.
You are also able to spread bet on this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no closing date for this market. If you decide to leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.
If your position does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Go up - then you are usually charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then you will often receive a small payment to your account
For a more detailed guide to Rolling Daily Markets, including a fully worked example, please read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Grafton Rolling Daily - Irish Equities Trading Example |
So, if we think about the above spread of €3.55 - €3.61 and make the assumptions:
- You have analysed the shares, and
- Your research leads you to think the Grafton shares are likely to go above €3.61
Then you might decide that you want to buy at €3.61 for a stake of £10 per cent.
So, you gain £10 for every cent that the Grafton shares rise higher than €3.61. Conversely, however, you will lose £10 for every cent that the Grafton market decreases lower than €3.61.
Considering this from another angle, should 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 initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few days the stock started to move upwards then you could choose to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to €3.73 - €3.79. In order to close your trade you would sell at €3.73. So, with the same £10 stake you would make:
Your profit / loss = (Closing Value - Initial Value) x stake
Your profit / loss = (€3.73 - €3.61) x £10 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = €0.12 x £10 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = 12c x £10 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = £120 profit
Speculating on shares, whether by spread betting or otherwise, may not go to plan. With this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, the share price can also decrease.
If the Grafton share price weakened, against your expectations, then you could choose to close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
If the market fell to €3.51 - €3.57 you would settle your position by selling at €3.51. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
Your profit / loss = (Closing Value - Initial Value) x stake
Your profit / loss = (€3.51 - €3.61) x £10 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = -€0.10 x £10 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = -10c x £10 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = -£100 loss
Note: Grafton Rolling Daily spread betting price taken as of 18-Dec-12.
