How to Spread Bet on Shares - Mothercare Rolling Daily

Should an investor want to speculate on UK companies such as Mothercare then one solution is a spread bet on the Mothercare share price.

If an investor was to look at the Tradefair spread trading site, they are showing the Mothercare Rolling Daily market at 424.4p - 426.5p. Therefore, you can spread trade on the Mothercare shares:
  • Rising above 426.5p, or
  • Falling below 424.4p
Whilst financial spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you chose to risk £10 per penny and the Mothercare share price moves 5p then that would make a difference to your P&L of £50. £10 per penny x 5p = £50.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore there is no predetermined closing date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it will roll over to the next session.

If you do let your bet roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:
  • Rise - then you will normally be charged a small financing fee, or
  • Fall - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
For a more detailed breakdown of Rolling Daily Markets please read our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.

Mothercare Rolling Daily Shares Spread Trading Example

So, if you think about the spread of 424.4p - 426.5p and assume:
  • you have done your market analysis, and
  • you think that the Mothercare shares are likely to increase and go above 426.5p
then you might buy a spread bet at 426.5p and invest £5 per penny.

Therefore, you make a profit of £5 for every penny that the Mothercare shares increase and move higher than 426.5p. Conversely, however, it also means that you will make a loss of £5 for every penny that the Mothercare market moves below 426.5p.

Thinking of this in a slightly different 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 initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

If after a few hours the shares rose then you might consider closing your trade in order to guarantee your profit. Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread could change to 444.6p - 446.7p. In order to close your position you would sell at 444.6p. Accordingly, with the same £5 stake you would make a profit of:

Profit = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (444.6p - 426.5p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit = 18.1p x £5 per penny stake
Profit = £90.50 profit

Trading shares, whether by spread betting or not, is not always easy. With this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. However, it might decrease.

If the Mothercare share price had started to fall then you might choose to close your trade in order to restrict your losses.

If the spread dropped to 411.1p - 413.2p you would sell back your position at 411.1p. Accordingly, your loss would be:

Loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (411.1p - 426.5p) x £5 per penny stake
Loss = -15.4p x £5 per penny stake
Loss = -£77.00 loss

Note - Mothercare Rolling Daily spread betting market taken as of 12-May-11.
