How to Spread Bet on US Shares - MBIA Rolling Daily
If you decide to speculate on US listed companies like MBIA then one possibility could be spread betting on the MBIA share price.
If an investor was to look at the Capitalspreads spread trading site, they are currently pricing the MBIA Rolling Daily market at $9.23 - $9.27. Therefore, you could spread trade on the MBIA shares:
- Rising above $9.27, or
- Falling below $9.23
Whilst spread trading on US shares you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you decided to have a stake of £6 per cent and the MBIA shares move $0.05 then that would change your profits (or losses) by £30. £6 per cent x $0.05 = £30.
Note that you are also able to trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no preset settlement date for this market. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by 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:
- Increase - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
- Decrease - then you will often receive a small payment to your account
To learn more about Rolling Daily Markets please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
MBIA Rolling Daily - US Shares Trading Example
So, if you think about the above spread of $9.23 - $9.27 and assume:
- you have analysed the equities market, and
- you think that the MBIA shares will rise higher than $9.27
then you might go long of the market at $9.27 for a stake of £3 per cent.
So, you make a profit of £3 for every cent that the MBIA shares increase and move above $9.27. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will make a loss of £3 for every cent that the MBIA market decreases below $9.27.
Considering this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few hours the stock moved higher then you could consider closing your trade and therefore lock in your profits.
So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to $9.55 - $9.59. To settle/close your trade you would sell at $9.55. As a result, with the same £3 stake your profit would be:
Profit / loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = ($9.55 - $9.27) x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = $0.28 x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 28¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £84 profit
Trading shares, whether by spread betting or otherwise, can go against you. In this case, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, the share price might fall.
If the MBIA shares began to drop then you might choose to close your trade to limit your losses.
Should the spread pull back to $8.95 - $8.99 you would settle your trade by selling at $8.95. If so, that would mean you would lose:
Profit / loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = ($8.95 - $9.27) x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -$0.32 x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -32¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£96 loss
Note: MBIA Rolling Daily equities market accurate as of 26-Jul-11.
