How to Spread Bet on Intuitive Surgical? |
Should an investor decide to invest in companies such as Intuitive Surgical then one solution is a spread bet on the Intuitive Surgical share price.
Looking at a spread betting site like Capital Spreads, you can see that they are currently pricing the Intuitive Surgical Rolling Daily market at $570.24 - $572.60. This means an investor could spread bet on the Intuitive Surgical shares:
 Going above $572.60, or
 Going below $570.24
When financial spread betting on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decide to risk £3 per cent and the Intuitive Surgical share price changes by $0.30 then there would be a difference to your bottom line of £90. £3 per cent x $0.30 = £90.
You can also spread bet on this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no closing date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Increase - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
Decrease - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
For a more detailed breakdown of Rolling Daily Markets please read our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Intuitive Surgical Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example |
If you take the spread of $570.24 - $572.60 and make the assumptions:
- You have completed your analysis, and
- Your analysis suggests that the Intuitive Surgical share price is likely to go above $572.60
Then you might buy a spread bet at $572.60 and invest, for the sake of argument, £0.2 per cent.
So, you win £0.2 for every cent that the Intuitive Surgical shares increase and go higher than $572.60. Nevertheless, you will lose £0.2 for every cent that the Intuitive Surgical market falls lower than $572.60.
Considering this from another angle, if you 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 the stake.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the stock started to increase then you might think about closing your position in order to guarantee your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to $579.47 - $581.83. You would close your trade by selling at $579.47. As a result, with the same £0.2 stake your profit would be:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($579.47 - $572.60) x £0.2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = $6.87 x £0.2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 687¢ x £0.2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £137.40 profit
Trading equities, by spread betting or otherwise, can fail to go to plan. In this case, you had bet that the share price would rise. Of course, the share price could fall.
If the Intuitive Surgical share price began to fall then you could close your trade to limit your losses.
So if the market pulled back to $564.87 - $567.23 you would close your spread bet by selling at $564.87. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($564.87 - $572.60) x £0.2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -$7.73 x £0.2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -773¢ x £0.2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£154.60 loss
