How to Spread Bet on US Shares - Micron Technology Rolling Daily
Should an investor want to invest in firms such as Micron Technology then one option is to spread bet on the Micron Technology share price.
Looking at the Capital Spreads trading site, they are currently showing the Micron Technology Rolling Daily market at $7.84 - $7.87. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the Micron Technology shares:
- Going higher than $7.87, or
- Going lower than $7.84
Whilst making a spread bet on S&P 500 shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you invest £6 per cent and the Micron Technology share price moves $0.05 then that would alter your bottom line by £30. £6 per cent x $0.05 = £30.
Note that you can also invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset settlement date for this market. If you decide to leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If you do let your trade roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
- Rise - then you would normally pay a small financing fee, or
- Fall - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
To find out more about Rolling Daily Markets read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Micron Technology Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example
So, if we consider the spread of $7.84 - $7.87 and make the assumptions that:
- you have done your market analysis, and
- it leads you to feel that the Micron Technology shares will go higher than $7.87
then you could go long of the market at $7.87 for a stake of £3 per cent.
So, you gain £3 for every cent that the Micron Technology shares rise above $7.87. However, you will lose £3 for every cent that the Micron Technology market decreases below $7.87.
Put another way, 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 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 share price moved higher then you might want to close your position in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread could change to $8.15 - $8.18. To settle/close your trade you would sell at $8.15. Accordingly, with the same £3 stake you would make a profit of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit / loss = ($8.15 - $7.87) 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
Speculating on shares, whether by spread trading or otherwise, doesn't always work out as you would have liked. In the above example, you wanted the share price to increase. However, the share price can also decrease.
If the Micron Technology stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your position in order to restrict your losses.
So if the spread pulled back to $7.63 - $7.66 then this means you would settle your spread bet by selling at $7.63. That would mean you would lose:
Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit / loss = ($7.63 - $7.87) x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -$0.24 x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -24¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£72 loss
Note: Micron Technology Rolling Daily market taken as of 26-Jul-11.
