How to Spread Bet on Halma? |
If you decide to speculate on UK companies like Halma then one option could be to spread trade on the Halma share price.
Logging into SelftradeMarkets, you can see that they are currently offering the Halma Rolling Daily market at 412.7p - 414.4p. Therefore, an investor can spread trade on the Halma share price:
 Increasing above 414.4p, or
 Decreasing below 412.7p
When making a spread bet on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you invest £3 per penny and the Halma share price moves 40p then that would change your profits (or losses) by £120. £3 per penny x 40p = £120.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a normal futures market, there is no closing date. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Move up - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
Move down - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
For a worked example please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Halma Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Trading Example |
So, if we take the spread of 412.7p - 414.4p and assume that:
- You've completed your market research, and
- Your analysis suggests that the Halma shares look like they will increase and go higher than 414.4p
Then you might buy a spread bet at 414.4p for a stake of £5 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every penny that the Halma shares push above 414.4p. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £5 for every penny that the Halma market falls below 414.4p.
Put another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found 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.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the shares rose then you might want to close your position in order to guarantee your profit.
If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to 432.4p - 434.1p. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at 432.4p. Accordingly, with the same £5 stake:
P&L = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = (432.4p - 414.4p) x £5 per penny stake
P&L = 18.0p x £5 per penny stake
P&L = £90.00 profit
Speculating on equities, by spread trading or otherwise, is not always simple. With this example, you had bet that the share price would rise. Naturally, the share price could decrease.
If the Halma share price fell then you could choose to close your trade to limit your losses.
So if the spread pulled back to 392.6p - 394.3p then this means you would settle your position by selling at 392.6p. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = (392.6p - 414.4p) x £5 per penny stake
P&L = -21.8p x £5 per penny stake
P&L = -£109.00 loss
Note: Halma Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 31-Oct-12.
