How to Spread Bet on Johnson Controls

How to Spread Bet on Johnson Controls?


Should you want to invest in firms like Johnson Controls then one solution could be spread trading on the Johnson Controls share price.

Looking at a spread trading website like Tradefair, you can see they are currently pricing the Johnson Controls Rolling Daily market at $31.07 - $31.12. This means an investor could spread trade on the Johnson Controls shares:

  Johnson Controls Trading Example Going higher than $31.12, or
  Johnson Controls Spread Betting Example Going lower than $31.07

Whilst making a spread bet on S&P 500 equities you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you staked £5 per cent and the Johnson Controls share price moves $0.34 then that would make a difference to your profit/loss of £170. £5 per cent x $0.34 = £170.

You are also able to invest in this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so in contrast with futures markets, there is no settlement date. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next trading session.

If you do roll over a position and you are spread betting that the market will:

  Johnson Controls Spread Betting Example Go up - then you usually pay a small overnight financing fee, or
  Johnson Controls Spread Betting Example Go down - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account

Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.


Johnson Controls Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Betting Example


So, if you take the above spread of $31.07 - $31.12 and make the assumptions that:
  • You have done your stock market analysis, and
  • Your analysis suggests the Johnson Controls share price is likely to increase and go higher than $31.12
Then you might decide that you are going to go long of the market at $31.12 for a stake of £4 per cent.

This means that you win £4 for every cent that the Johnson Controls shares push above $31.12. Of course, you will make a loss of £4 for every cent that the Johnson Controls market moves lower than $31.12.

Considering this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

As a result, if after a few days the share price started to rise you might decide to close your spread bet in order to lock in your profit. Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to $31.38 - $31.43. In order to close your position you would sell at $31.38. Accordingly, with the same £4 stake your profit would come to:

Your Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($31.38 - $31.12) x £4 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = $0.26 x £4 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = 26¢ x £4 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = £104 profit

Trading shares, by spread betting or otherwise, is not simple. With this example, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, the share price can also go down.

If the Johnson Controls stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your position in order to restrict your losses.

If the market fell to $30.82 - $30.87 you would sell back your position at $30.82. That would mean you would make a loss of:

Your Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your Profit / loss = ($30.82 - $31.12) x £4 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -$0.30 x £4 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -30¢ x £4 per cent stake
Your Profit / loss = -£120 loss

Note: Johnson Controls Rolling Daily spread taken as of 06-Feb-13.
