How to Spread Bet on RPS Group

How to Spread Bet on RPS Group?


If you want to invest in UK companies such as RPS Group then one solution could be spread trading on the RPS Group share price.

Looking at a spread trading website like InterTrader, we can see they have priced the RPS Group Rolling Daily market at 235.4p - 236.2p. This means an investor could put a spread bet on the RPS Group share price:

  RPS Group Spread Betting Example Increasing above 236.2p, or
  RPS Group Spread Trading Example Decreasing below 235.4p

Whilst making a spread bet on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you chose to have a stake of £5 per penny and the RPS Group share price moves 25p then that would make a difference to your P&L of £125. £5 per penny x 25p = £125.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no set closing date for this market. If your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.

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

  RPS Group Spread Trading Example Increase - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  RPS Group Spread Trading Example Decrease - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account

You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


RPS Group Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Trading Example


If we take the above spread of 235.4p - 236.2p and assume:
  • You've completed your research into the company, and
  • You think the RPS Group shares look like they will increase and move above 236.2p
Then you could decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 236.2p for a stake of, let’s say, £15 per penny.

With such a spread bet you win £15 for every penny that the RPS Group shares push higher than 236.2p. Conversely, however, it also means that you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the RPS Group market falls lower than 236.2p.

Put another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial 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 share price started to rise you might decide to close your position to lock in your profit. If that happened then the spread might change to 243.3p - 244.1p. To close your position you would sell at 243.3p. Therefore, with the same £15 stake you would make:

Profits (or losses) = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (243.3p - 236.2p) x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = 7.1p x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = £106.50 profit

Trading equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, the share price could go down.

If the RPS Group stock had fallen then you might choose to close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.

Should the spread fall back to 228.2p - 229.0p then you would settle your trade by selling at 228.2p. As a result, your loss would be:

Profits (or losses) = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (228.2p - 236.2p) x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -8.0p x £15 per penny stake
Profits (or losses) = -£120.00 loss

Note - RPS Group Rolling Daily spread quoted as of 31-Oct-12.
