How to Spread bet on the Russ 2K?
As with many markets, you can financial spreadbet on the future price of Indices. ie, you can spread bet on Indices, like the Russ 2K, increasing or decreasing.
At the moment the Russ 2K (March) market is 833.1 - 833.6 with Financial Spreads. This market expires on 21-Mar-08.
Therefore you can bet on the Russ 2K settling:
- Above 833.6 by 21-Mar-08, or
- Below 833.1 by 21-Mar-08
It is important to note that with the Russ 2K market, you trade in £x per tick, where a tick is 0.1 point of Russ 2K movement. Eg if your stake was £10 per tick and the Russ 2K moves 0.8 points then that would be a £80 difference to your profits.
0.8 points = 8 ticks. £10 per tick x 8 ticks = £80
Russ 2K Trading Example
So taking the above spread of 833.1 - 833.6, let’s say that you feel that the Russ 2K appears as though it will increase to more than 833.6 by 21-Mar-08.
Therefore you buy at 833.6 for a stake of your choice, in this case let’s say, £5 per tick.
If by the settlement date the Index has closes at 838.6.
Then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the closing level, ie 838.6 and the price you bought at, ie 833.6 and then multiplying that by the stake per tick.
Profits = ((838.6 - 833.6) / 0.1) x £5 per tick stake.
= (5 / 0.1) x £5 per tick stake.
= (50 ticks) x £5 per tick stake.
= £250 profit.
Of course if the trade didn't work as expected and had the Russ 2K fallen and the market closed at a lower than expected price of 829.2, then you would have lost on this spread bet.
Loss = ((829.2 - 833.6) / 0.1) x £5 per tick stake.
= (-4.4 / 0.1) x £5 per tick stake.
= (-44 ticks) x £5 per tick stake.
= -£220 loss.
Where can I Find Free Live Prices on the Russ 2K?
If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a firm like Financial Spreads.
Also, you don't have to trade with them, if you just open an account (which is free to do) then their data is free. The catch? You'll get the odd email or letter from them. In the example below you can also see that their free charts are also useful.
There are also live prices available at:
Where can I Find Free Russ 2K Charts?
As mentioned above, you can get free charts with spread betting companies like Financial Spreads.
You can alter the charts to see market data by the minute, by the hour, by the week etc, plus many other settings to help you analyse the charts.
As you can see the charts show how the market's are not perfect and how you can expect the prices to "gap".
FinancialSpreads.com also have another pretty handy tool in their free Demo account (mentioned above). You can open a Demo account and place demo trades whilst you practice with no risk or cost attached.
