How to Spread Bet on National Grid? |
If you are going to invest in companies such as National Grid then one possibility is to spread bet on the National Grid share price.
Logging into capital spreads, we can see they are showing the National Grid Rolling Daily market at 704.6p - 706.4p. This means an investor could spread trade on the National Grid shares:
Increasing above 706.4p, or
Decreasing below 704.6p
When spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you decide to invest £5 per penny and the National Grid shares move 33p then that would be a difference to your P&L of £165. £5 per penny x 33p = £165.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no predetermined closing date for this market. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.
If you allow your position to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you'll pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment is normally credited to your account
To learn more about Rolling Daily Markets please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
National Grid Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
If we consider the spread of 704.6p - 706.4p and make the assumptions that:
- You have completed your analysis of the company, and
- Your research suggests the National Grid share price looks like it will rise higher than 706.4p
Then you may decide that you are going to buy a spread bet at 706.4p and risk, for example, £5 per penny.
This means that you win £5 for every penny that the National Grid shares go above 706.4p. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will lose £5 for every penny that the National Grid market goes lower than 706.4p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few days the share price started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit.
Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to 727.6p - 729.4p. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at 727.6p. Therefore, with the same £5 stake you would make:
Your profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your profit / loss = (727.6p - 706.4p) x £5 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = 21.2p x £5 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = £106.00 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not always straightforward. In this example, you had bet that the share price would rise. Naturally, the share price could fall.
If the National Grid stock fell then you could choose to close your position to limit your losses.
So if the spread dropped to 681.7p - 683.5p then this means you would settle/close your trade by selling at 681.7p. If so, that would mean you would lose:
Your profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your profit / loss = (681.7p - 706.4p) x £5 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -24.7p x £5 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -£123.50 loss
Note - National Grid Rolling Daily market accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
