How to Spread Bet on US Shares - Kraft Foods Rolling Daily
If an investor decides to speculate on companies such as Kraft Foods then one option could be spread trading on the Kraft Foods share price.
If you were to look at the Financial Spreads spread betting website, they are giving the Kraft Foods Rolling Daily market at $29.34 - $29.39. As a result, an investor can spread trade on the Kraft Foods share price:
- Moving above $29.39, or
- Moving below $29.34
Whilst spread betting on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you staked £6 per cent and the Kraft Foods share price moves $0.05 then that would alter your P&L by £30. £6 per cent x $0.05 = £30.
Note that you can also spread bet on this market in Dollars or Euros.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset settlement date for this market. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it will roll over to the next trading day.
If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:
- Move up - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
- Move down - then a small payment is usually credited to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Kraft Foods Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example
So, if we consider the spread of $29.34 - $29.39 and assume:
- you have done your market research, and
- it leads you to feel that the Kraft Foods share price looks like it will increase and go above $29.39
then you might buy a spread bet at $29.39 and risk £3 per cent.
So, you win £3 for every cent that the Kraft Foods shares push higher than $29.39. However, you will make a loss of £3 for every cent that the Kraft Foods market moves lower than $29.39.
Put another way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few days the stock rose then you might want to close your spread bet in order to guarantee your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to $29.83 - $29.88. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $29.83. As a result, with the same £3 stake:
P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($29.83 - $29.39) x £3 per cent stake
P&L = $0.44 x £3 per cent stake
P&L = 44¢ x £3 per cent stake
P&L = £132 profit
Financial spread betting is not always straightforward. In this example, you wanted the share price to go up. Naturally, it could decrease.
If the Kraft Foods shares dropped then you could close your position in order to restrict your losses.
So if the spread fell to $28.98 - $29.03 then you would close your spread bet by selling at $28.98. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
P&L = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
P&L = ($28.98 - $29.39) x £3 per cent stake
P&L = -$0.41 x £3 per cent stake
P&L = -41¢ x £3 per cent stake
P&L = -£123 loss

Where can I Find Candlestick Charts for Kraft Foods?
Like live prices, if you want to access candlestick charts for US shares then you generally need to open an account with a spread betting company that offers US shares. Note that accounts are subject to status.

You can usually alter the charts to see market data by the tick, by the minute, by the hour, by the week etc. There are also other options that allow you to easily add analysis such as Bollinger Bands and Moving Averages.
