How to Spread Bet on Oracle

How to Spread Bet on Oracle?


Should you want to speculate on US companies such as Oracle then one solution could be to place a spread bet on the Oracle share price.

Looking at a website like Financial Spreads, we can see they are currently offering the Oracle Rolling Daily market at $35.14 - $35.19. Therefore, you could spread bet on the Oracle share price:

  Oracle Spread Betting Example Rising above $35.19, or
  Oracle Trading Example Falling below $35.14

When financial spread betting on S&P 500 equities you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decided to risk £4 per cent and the Oracle share price changes by $0.33 then that would be a difference to your profit/loss of £132. £4 per cent x $0.33 = £132.

Note that you can also trade this market in Euros or Dollars, 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 settlement date. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next session.

If your bet does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:

  Oracle Trading Example Increase - then you will pay a small overnight financing fee, or
  Oracle Trading Example Decrease - then a small payment is normally credited to your account

For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Oracle Rolling Daily - US Shares Trading Example


Now, if we consider the spread of $35.14 - $35.19 and assume:
  • You have done your equities analysis, and
  • You think the Oracle share price is likely to increase and go higher than $35.19
Then you could decide to buy a spread bet at $35.19 and invest, let’s say, £3 per cent.

Therefore, you make a profit of £3 for every cent that the Oracle shares go above $35.19. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will make a loss of £3 for every cent that the Oracle market falls lower than $35.19.

Looking at this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.

As a result, if the share price rose then you might consider closing your spread bet and therefore guarantee your profits. So if the market moved up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to $35.59 - $35.64. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at $35.59. Accordingly, with the same £3 stake your profit would come to:

P&L = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = ($35.59 - $35.19) x £3 per cent stake
P&L = $0.40 x £3 per cent stake
P&L = 40¢ x £3 per cent stake
P&L = £120 profit

Speculating on shares, by spread trading or otherwise, is not simple. With this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Nevertheless, it might go down.

If the Oracle shares had started to fall then you might choose to close your trade to limit your losses.

So if the market dropped to $34.84 - $34.89 then you would settle your spread bet by selling at $34.84. If so, that would mean you would lose:

P&L = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = ($34.84 - $35.19) x £3 per cent stake
P&L = -$0.35 x £3 per cent stake
P&L = -35¢ x £3 per cent stake
P&L = -£105 loss

Note - Oracle Rolling Daily equities market quoted as of 06-Feb-13.
