How to Spread Bet on Indices - Ireland 20 Rolling Daily
As with a variety of financial markets, investors can place a spread bet on indices, like the Ireland 20, to go up or down.
If you were to look at the InterTrader spread betting site, they are currently pricing the Ireland 20 Rolling Daily market at 526.5 - 531.2. As a result, you could spread bet on the Ireland 20 market:
- Increasing higher than 531.2, or
- Decreasing lower than 526.5
When spread trading on the Ireland 20 index you trade in £x per point. So, if you chose to invest £10 per point and the Ireland 20 moves 5.0 points then that would make a difference to your profit/loss of £50. £10 per point x 5.0 points = £50.
Rolling Daily Index Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so it does not have a settlement date. If you decide to leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will just roll over into the next day.
If you do let your position roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
- Move higher - then you are charged a small overnight financing fee, or
- Move lower - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
To find out more about Rolling Daily Markets read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Ireland 20 Rolling Daily Indices Spread Trading Example
If we consider the spread of 526.5 - 531.2 and assume:
- you have done your analysis of the markets, and
- it leads you to feel that the Ireland 20 index will increase and go above 531.2
then you could decide that you want to go long of the market at 531.2 and invest £5 per point.
Therefore, you make a profit of £5 for every point that the Ireland 20 index pushes higher than 531.2. Conversely, however, it also means that you will lose £5 for every point that the Ireland 20 market moves below 531.2.
Put another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few sessions the stock market moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 548.5 - 553.2. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at 548.5. Therefore, with the same £5 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit = (Settlement Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit = (548.5 - 531.2) x £5 per point stake
Profit = 17.3 x £5 per point stake
Profit = £86.50 profit
Spread betting on stock market indices can work against you. With this example, you had bet that the index would increase. However, the index could decrease.
If the Ireland 20 index decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could choose to close your trade to stop any further losses.
If the spread dropped to 515.3 - 520.0 you would close your trade by selling at 515.3. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
Loss = (Settlement Level - Opening Level) x stake
Loss = (515.3 - 531.2) x £5 per point stake
Loss = -15.9 x £5 per point stake
Loss = -£79.50 loss
Note - Ireland 20 Rolling Daily spread betting market taken as of 29-Nov-10.
