How to Spread Bet on NZD/USD

How to Spread Bet on NZD/USD?


As with a range of financial markets, you can speculate on FX pairs, like NZD/USD, to go up or down.

Looking at Capitalspreads, you can see that they are currently offering the NZD/USD Rolling Daily market at $0.81794 - $0.81814. This means you could spread bet on the NZD/USD pair:

  NZD/USD Spread Betting Example Rising above $0.81814, or
  NZD/USD Spread Trading Example Falling below $0.81794

When financial spread betting on NZD/USD you trade in £x per point where a point is $0.00010 of the pairs movement. So, if you choose to risk £4 per point and NZD/USD moves 32.0 points then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £128. £4 per point x $0.00320 = £4 per point x 32.0 points = £128.

Rolling Daily FX Markets

An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that there is no preset closing 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 trading session.

Should your forex trade roll over then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee. Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.


NZD/USD Rolling Daily - Foreign Exchange Spread Trading Example


Now, if you consider the spread of $0.81794 - $0.81814 and make the assumptions:
  • You have analysed the forex markets, and
  • You feel that the NZD/USD market will move higher than $0.81814
Then you might decide that you want to go long of the market at $0.81814 and invest, let’s say, £2 per point.

So, you gain £2 for every point ($0.00010) that the NZD/USD rate increases above $0.81814. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £2 for every point that the NZD/USD market goes below $0.81814.

Looking at this from another angle, if you were to buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

With this in mind, if after a few hours the forex rate rose then you might consider closing your spread bet in order to secure your profit.

If that happened then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to $0.82346 - $0.82366. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $0.82346. As a result, with the same £2 stake you would make:

Profit / loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = ($0.82346 - $0.81814) x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = $0.00532 x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = 53.2 points x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = £106.40 profit

Trading currencies, by spread trading or otherwise, is not straightforward. In the above example, you had bet that the currency pair would go up. Naturally, the FX rate might go down.

If the NZD/USD rate began to drop then you could choose to close your spread bet to stop any further losses.

If the spread fell to $0.81344 - $0.81364 then this means you would settle/close your trade by selling at $0.81344. So your loss would be calculated as:

Profit / loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit / loss = ($0.81344 - $0.81814) x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = -$0.00470 x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = -47.0 points x £2 per point stake
Profit / loss = -£94.00 loss

Note: NZD/USD Rolling Daily spread correct as of 11-Sep-12.
