How to Spread Bet on Sage

How to Spread Bet on Sage?


If you decide to invest in UK companies like Sage then one option could be spread betting on the Sage share price.

Looking at a spread betting website like InterTrader, we can see they are currently valuing the Sage Rolling Daily market at 309.3p - 310.0p. This means an investor can spread bet on the Sage shares:

  Sage Spread Betting Example Increasing above 310.0p, or
  Sage Spread Trading Example Decreasing below 309.3p

When spread trading on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. So, if you chose to have a stake of £5 per penny and the Sage share price moves 21p then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £105. £5 per penny x 21p = £105.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so in contrast with futures markets, there is no closing date. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will simply roll over to the next trading day.

If you do let your position roll over into the next day and are spread betting on the market to:

  Sage Spread Trading Example Move up - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
  Sage Spread Trading Example Move down - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account

For a more detailed example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Sage Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Trading Example


Now, if you continue with the spread of 309.3p - 310.0p and assume:
  • You have completed your market research, and
  • Your analysis suggests that the Sage share price looks like it will increase and go above 310.0p
Then you might go long of the market at 310.0p for a stake of £10 per penny.

This means that you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the Sage shares push higher than 310.0p. On the other hand, you will make a loss of £10 for every penny that the Sage market moves below 310.0p.

Looked at another way, if you were to buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

With this in mind, if after a few days the shares started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet and therefore guarantee your profits. If that happened then the spread might move to 320.1p - 320.8p. You would close your spread bet by selling at 320.1p. As a result, with the same £10 stake this trade would result in a profit of:

Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (320.1p - 310.0p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 10.1p x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £101.00 profit

Trading equities, by spread trading or otherwise, doesn't always go to plan. In this case, you had bet that the share price would rise. However, the share price could fall.

If the Sage share price decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you might choose to close your spread bet in order to limit your losses.

So if the spread dropped to 298.2p - 298.9p then you would settle your position by selling at 298.2p. If so, your loss would be calculated as:

Profit / loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit / loss = (298.2p - 310.0p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -11.8p x £10 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£118.00 loss

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