How to Spread Bet on Rank? |
Should an investor want to invest in companies like Rank Group then one possibility could be spread betting on the Rank share price.
Looking at Tradefair, we can see that they are pricing the Rank Rolling Daily market at 146.6p - 147.2p. As a result, an investor could spread trade on the Rank shares:
 Increasing higher than 147.2p, or
 Decreasing lower than 146.6p
When spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you choose to risk £4 per penny and the Rank share price changes by 21p then that would be a difference to your P&L of £84. £4 per penny x 21p = £84.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that it does not have a set closing date. If your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will stay open and roll over into the next trading session.
If your position does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Go up - then you normally pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Rank Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
So, if you think about the above spread of 146.6p - 147.2p and make the assumptions that:
- You have done your analysis of the company, and
- Your research suggests that the Rank shares are likely to increase and move higher than 147.2p
Then you could decide to buy a spread bet at 147.2p for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £20 per penny.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £20 for every penny that the Rank shares increase and go above 147.2p. However, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £20 for every penny that the Rank market decreases below 147.2p.
Looked at another way, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few trading sessions the shares started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 153.8p - 154.4p. To close your position you would sell at 153.8p. Therefore, with the same £20 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (153.8p - 147.2p) x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = 6.6p x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = £132.00 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not easy. With this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Of course, it might go down.
If the Rank share price had started to drop then you could close your trade to stop any further losses.
If the spread fell to 141.5p - 142.1p then you would settle/close your trade by selling at 141.5p. So your loss would be calculated as:
Profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (141.5p - 147.2p) x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -5.7p x £20 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -£114.00 loss
Note: Rank Group Rolling Daily equities market quoted as of 31-Oct-12.
