How to Spread Bet on Resolution

How to Spread Bet on Resolution?


Should you decide to invest in companies such as Resolution then one possibility could be spread betting on the Resolution share price.

Looking at a site like InterTrader, we can see they are currently pricing the Resolution Rolling Daily market at 222.2p - 222.7p. As a result, an investor could put a spread bet on the Resolution shares:

  Resolution Spread Trading Example Increasing higher than 222.7p, or
  Resolution Trading Example Decreasing lower than 222.2p

When financial spread betting on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you decided to risk £2 per penny and the Resolution shares move 25p then that would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £50. £2 per penny x 25p = £50.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

Note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and therefore there is no closing date for this market. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next day.

If you allow your bet to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:

  Resolution Trading Example Go higher - then you are usually charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  Resolution Trading Example Go lower - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account

For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Resolution Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example


So, if we take the above spread of 222.2p - 222.7p and assume that:
  • You've completed your stock market research, and
  • You think that the Resolution share price is likely to increase and go above 222.7p
Then you might choose to buy a spread bet at 222.7p and risk, for example, £15 per penny.

This means that you win £15 for every penny that the Resolution shares move higher than 222.7p. On the other hand, such a bet also means you will lose £15 for every penny that the Resolution market falls lower than 222.7p.

Put another way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

As a result, if after a few days the shares moved higher then you might want to close your position in order to guarantee your profit. So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 229.9p - 230.4p. You would settle/close your trade by selling at 229.9p. Accordingly, with the same £15 stake this trade would result in a profit of:

Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (229.9p - 222.7p) x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = 7.2p x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = £108.00 profit

Speculating on shares, whether by spread trading or otherwise, doesn't always work out as you would have liked. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would rise. Of course, the share price can also decrease.

If the Resolution stock decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could choose to close your trade to stop any further losses.

Should the spread drop to 216.6p - 217.1p then you would close your trade by selling at 216.6p. Accordingly, your loss would be:

Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (216.6p - 222.7p) x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -6.1p x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -£91.50 loss

Note: Resolution Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
