How to Spread Bet on Indices - Japan 225 Rolling Daily


As with many markets, you are able to spread bet on indices, like the Japan 225, to either increase or decrease.

If you were to look at the Capital Spreads website, they are currently valuing the Japan 225 Rolling Daily market at 10828 - 10838. This means you could spread trade on the Japan 225 index:
  • Moving above 10838, or
  • Moving below 10828
When spread trading on the Japan 225 index you trade in £x per point. So, if you invested £4 per point and the Japan 225 moves 5 points then that would change your bottom line by £20. £4 per point x 5 points = £20.

Rolling Daily Indices Markets

One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that it does not have a settlement date. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it will just roll over into the next day.

If your bet does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
  • Rise - then you normally pay a small overnight financing fee, or
  • Fall - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.

Japan 225 Rolling Daily Index Spread Trading Example

If we consider the spread of 10828 - 10838 and assume that:
  • you have completed your market analysis, and
  • it leads you to feel that the Japan 225 index will rise higher than 10838
then you might decide that you are going to buy a spread bet at 10838 for a stake of £2 per point.

This means that you make a profit of £2 for every point that the Japan 225 index moves above 10838. Nevertheless, it also means that you will lose £2 for every point that the Japan 225 market decreases lower than 10838.

Put another way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

As a result, if after a few sessions the market started to increase then you might think about closing your spread bet and therefore guarantee your profits. So if the market rose then the spread could change to 10903 - 10913. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 10903. As a result, with the same £2 stake you would make a profit of:

P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (10903 - 10838) x £2 per point stake
P&L = 65 x £2 per point stake
P&L = £130 profit

Trading stock market indices, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not easy. In this case, you wanted the index to increase. Of course, it can also go down.

If the Japan 225 market had started to drop then you could close your spread bet in order to limit your losses.

Should the market drop to 10781 - 10791 you would sell back your position at 10781. If so, this would result in a loss of:

P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = (10781 - 10838) x £2 per point stake
P&L = -57 x £2 per point stake
P&L = -£114 loss

Note: Japan 225 Rolling Daily market accurate as of 16-Feb-11.


Where can I Find Free Live Prices on the Japan 225?

If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a firm like Financial Spreads.

Also, you don't have to trade with them, if you just open an account (which is free to do) then their data is free. The catch? You'll get the odd email or letter from them. In the example below you can also see that their free charts are also useful.

There are also live prices available at:
