How to Spread Bet on Henderson? |
If you decide to invest in companies like Henderson then one option could be to spread trade on the Henderson share price.
Looking at a spread betting site like InterTrader, we can see they are pricing the Henderson Rolling Daily market at 118.5p - 119.1p. This means that you can put a spread bet on the Henderson share price:
 Increasing higher than 119.1p, or
 Decreasing lower than 118.5p
When financial spread betting on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. So, if you decided to risk £3 per penny and the Henderson share price changes by 36p then that would alter your bottom line by £108. £3 per penny x 36p = £108.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore unlike a normal spread betting futures market, there is no closing date. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If you allow your bet to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Go up - then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Henderson Rolling Daily - Shares Trading Example |
So, if we continue with the spread of 118.5p - 119.1p and make the assumptions:
- You have done your stock market analysis, and
- Your research leads you to feel that the Henderson shares will move above 119.1p
Then you might decide that you want to go long of the market at 119.1p and invest, let’s say, £20 per penny.
This means that you make a profit of £20 for every penny that the Henderson shares rise higher than 119.1p. On the other hand, you will make a loss of £20 for every penny that the Henderson market falls below 119.1p.
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 price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few trading sessions the stock started to increase then you might want to close your trade to lock in your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 124.3p - 124.9p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 124.3p. Accordingly, with the same £20 stake your profit would come to:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (124.3p - 119.1p) x £20 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 5.2p x £20 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £104.00 profit
Trading shares, by spread trading or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, the share price can also fall.
If the Henderson share price had fallen then you might decide to close/settle your trade in order to restrict your losses.
So if the market fell to 113.0p - 113.6p then you would sell back your position at 113.0p. As a result, your loss would be:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (113.0p - 119.1p) x £20 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -6.1p x £20 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£122.00 loss
Note: Henderson Rolling Daily spread betting price taken as of 31-Oct-12.
