How to Spread Bet on IFG Group? |
Should an investor want to invest in firms like IFG Group then one possibility is to spread trade on the IFG Group share price.
Looking at a spread trading site like Financial Spreads, you can see they are currently valuing the IFG Group Rolling Daily market at €1.36 - €1.41. Therefore, you could spread bet on the IFG Group shares:
 Rising above €1.41, or
 Falling below €1.36
When financial spread trading on Irish shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you invest £4 per cent and the IFG Group share price changes by €0.40 then that would alter your P&L by £160. £4 per cent x €0.40 = £160.
Note that you can also invest in this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a futures market, there is no closing date. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will simply roll over to the next trading day.
Should your bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Go up - then you'll pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account

IFG Group Rolling Daily - Irish Shares Trading Example |
So, if we continue with the spread of €1.36 - €1.41 and make the assumptions that:
- You've completed your analysis of the stock markets, and
- Your analysis suggests that the IFG Group share price will move higher than €1.41
Then you may choose to buy at €1.41 and invest, for the sake of argument, £15 per cent.
So, you win £15 for every cent that the IFG Group shares increase and move above €1.41. Conversely, however, you will make a loss of £15 for every cent that the IFG Group market decreases below €1.41.
Put another way, if you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
If after a few trading sessions the stock moved higher then you could consider closing your trade in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to €1.49 - €1.54. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at €1.49. So, with the same £15 stake your profit would come to:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (€1.49 - €1.41) x £15 per cent stake
Profit / loss = €0.08 x £15 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 8c x £15 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £120 profit
Speculating on equities, by spread betting or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to rise. However, it might go down.
If the IFG Group shares began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet to stop any further losses.
Should the spread pull back to €1.34 - €1.39 you would settle your position by selling at €1.34. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (€1.34 - €1.41) x £15 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -€0.07 x £15 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -7c x £15 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£105 loss
