How to Spread Bet on Raytheon? |
Should you decide to invest in US companies such as Raytheon then one possibility could be to place a spread bet on the Raytheon share price.
Looking at a spread betting site like Tradefair, we can see they are offering the Raytheon Rolling Daily market at $53.28 - $53.36. As a result, an investor can spread bet on the Raytheon shares:
 Increasing higher than $53.36, or
 Decreasing lower than $53.28
Whilst spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decided to risk £4 per cent and the Raytheon share price moves $0.39 then that would change your profit/loss by £156. £4 per cent x $0.39 = £156.
Note that you are also able to trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore unlike a futures market, there is no settlement date. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it will just roll over into the next day.
If your trade 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'll usually receive a small credit to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Raytheon Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example |
If we continue with the spread of $53.28 - $53.36 and make the assumptions:
- You've analysed the shares, and
- Your analysis leads you to think the Raytheon share price will rise above $53.36
Then you might choose to buy a spread bet at $53.36 and invest, for the sake of argument, £5 per cent.
With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every cent that the Raytheon shares increase and go higher than $53.36. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £5 for every cent that the Raytheon market falls lower than $53.36.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few days the shares started to move upwards then you could choose to close your position to lock in your profit.
Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to $53.58 - $53.66. In order to close your trade you would sell at $53.58. So, with the same £5 stake you would calculate your profit as:
Profit = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit = ($53.58 - $53.36) x £5 per cent stake
Profit = $0.22 x £5 per cent stake
Profit = 22¢ x £5 per cent stake
Profit = £110 profit
Spread betting on shares can work against you. In this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, the share price might fall.
If the Raytheon share price had started to drop then you could close your position to stop any further losses.
If the spread fell to $53.11 - $53.19 then you would close your trade by selling at $53.11. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Loss = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Loss = ($53.11 - $53.36) x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -$0.25 x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -25¢ x £5 per cent stake
Loss = -£125 loss
Note - Raytheon Rolling Daily equities market accurate as of 06-Feb-13.
