How to Spread Bet on Microchip Technology? |
If an investor decides to invest in companies such as Microchip Technology then one solution could be to spread bet on the Microchip Technology share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting site like capital spreads, you can see they have priced the Microchip Technology Rolling Daily market at $34.21 - $34.26. This means you can spread bet on the Microchip Technology share price:
 Moving higher than $34.26, or
 Moving lower than $34.21
Whilst financial spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. As a result, should you choose to risk £2 per cent and the Microchip Technology shares move $0.25 then that would alter your P&L by £50. £2 per cent x $0.25 = £50.
You can also trade this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Be aware 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 trade, should it still be 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:
Rise - then you normally pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.
Microchip Technology Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example |
Now, if we take the spread of $34.21 - $34.26 and make the assumptions that:
- You have analysed the stock markets, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the Microchip Technology shares look like they will move above $34.26
Then you could decide to go long of the market at $34.26 for a stake of £5 per cent.
With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every cent that the Microchip Technology shares rise higher than $34.26. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £5 for every cent that the Microchip Technology market falls lower than $34.26.
Looking at this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few hours the shares started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet in order to guarantee your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to $34.60 - $34.65. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at $34.60. So, with the same £5 stake:
P&L = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
P&L = ($34.60 - $34.26) x £5 per cent stake
P&L = $0.34 x £5 per cent stake
P&L = 34¢ x £5 per cent stake
P&L = £170 profit
Speculating on shares, by spread betting or otherwise, may not go to plan. In this case, you had bet that the share price would rise. Of course, the share price can also fall.
If the Microchip Technology stock began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
Should the spread fall back to $33.95 - $34.00 then you would settle/close your trade by selling at $33.95. That would mean you would make a loss of:
P&L = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
P&L = ($33.95 - $34.26) x £5 per cent stake
P&L = -$0.31 x £5 per cent stake
P&L = -31¢ x £5 per cent stake
P&L = -£155 loss
Note - Microchip Technology Rolling Daily spread taken as of 06-Feb-13.
