How to Spread Bet on Life Technologies

How to Spread Bet on Life Technologies?


Should you decide to speculate on US listed companies such as Life Technologies then one option is to spread trade on the Life Technologies share price.

Looking at a spread trading website like Financial Spreads, we can see they are currently valuing the Life Technologies Rolling Daily market at $63.73 - $63.89. This means an investor can spread bet on the Life Technologies shares:

  Life Technologies Spread Trading Example Moving higher than $63.89, or
  Life Technologies Trading Example Moving lower than $63.73

When spread trading on US shares you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you chose to risk £2 per cent and the Life Technologies share price moves $0.33 then that would alter your bottom line by £66. £2 per cent x $0.33 = £66.

Note that you are also able to spread bet on this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a normal futures market, there is no closing date. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.

If your bet is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:

  Life Technologies Trading Example Go up - then you'll normally be charged a small financing fee, or
  Life Technologies Trading Example Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account

Life Technologies Rolling Daily - US Shares Trading Example


If you take the above spread of $63.73 - $63.89 and assume:
  • You have analysed the company, and
  • Your research leads you to think that the Life Technologies share price will increase and move above $63.89
Then you may choose to go long of the market at $63.89 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £2 per cent.

With such a spread bet you win £2 for every cent that the Life Technologies shares go higher than $63.89. On the other hand, you will lose £2 for every cent that the Life Technologies market decreases lower than $63.89.

Looking at this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

Therefore, if after a few sessions the share price moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet to secure your profit. So if the market moved up then the spread might change to $64.66 - $64.82. You would close your trade by selling at $64.66. Therefore, with the same £2 stake this trade would result in a profit of:

Your profits (or losses) = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = ($64.66 - $63.89) x £2 per cent stake
Your profits (or losses) = $0.77 x £2 per cent stake
Your profits (or losses) = 77¢ x £2 per cent stake
Your profits (or losses) = £154 profit

Speculating on shares, by spread trading or otherwise, can go against you. In this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. However, the share price might decrease.

If the Life Technologies stock decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could close your trade in order to restrict your losses.

Should the spread fall back to $63.19 - $63.35 then this means you would settle your position by selling at $63.19. This would result in a loss of:

Your profits (or losses) = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = ($63.19 - $63.89) x £2 per cent stake
Your profits (or losses) = -$0.70 x £2 per cent stake
Your profits (or losses) = -70¢ x £2 per cent stake
Your profits (or losses) = -£140 loss

Note - Life Technologies Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 06-Feb-13.
