How to Spread Bet on Safeway? |
Should an investor decide to invest in US companies such as Safeway then one solution could be to place a spread bet on the Safeway share price.
Looking at a platform like Capitalspreads, you can see they are offering the Safeway Rolling Daily market at $19.35 - $19.39. As a result, you can spread bet on the Safeway share price:
 Going higher than $19.39, or
 Going lower than $19.35
When spread betting on S&P 500 equities you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decide to have a stake of £2 per cent and the Safeway shares move $0.37 then that would make a difference to your profits (or losses) of £74. £2 per cent x $0.37 = £74.
You can also invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that unlike a normal futures market, there is no settlement date. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.
If you allow your position to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Move up - then you'll pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Move down - then a small payment is normally credited 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.
Safeway Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example |
So, if you take the spread of $19.35 - $19.39 and make the assumptions that:
- You've done your market research, and
- Your analysis leads you to think that the Safeway shares will rise above $19.39
Then you could decide that you are going to go long of the market at $19.39 for a stake of, let’s say, £5 per cent.
Therefore, you make a profit of £5 for every cent that the Safeway shares move higher than $19.39. Having said that, it also means that you will lose £5 for every cent that the Safeway market goes below $19.39.
Considering this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the shares started to rise you might decide to close your position in order to lock in your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread might change to $19.58 - $19.62. You would close your trade by selling at $19.58. As a result, with the same £5 stake you would calculate your profit as:
Profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($19.58 - $19.39) x £5 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.19 x £5 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 19¢ x £5 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £95 profit
Trading shares, whether by spread betting or otherwise, can go against you. In this case, you wanted the share price to go up. However, it might decrease.
If the Safeway share price had fallen then you could close your position to stop any further losses.
So if the spread pulled back to $19.18 - $19.22 you would settle your spread bet by selling at $19.18. This would result in a loss of:
Profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($19.18 - $19.39) x £5 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.21 x £5 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -21¢ x £5 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£105 loss
