How to Spread Bet on SAP? |
If an investor is looking to speculate on European listed companies like SAP then one solution could be spread trading on the SAP share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting platform like Tradefair, we can see that they are currently pricing the SAP Rolling Daily market at €60.69 - €60.84. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the SAP share price:
 Increasing above €60.84, or
 Decreasing below €60.69
Whilst spread betting on German shares you trade in £x per cent. So, if you staked £4 per cent and the SAP share price changes by €0.38 then that would alter your bottom line by £152. £4 per cent x €0.38 = £152.
Note that you are also able to invest in this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no preset settlement date for this market. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If your bet is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Rise - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account
To find out more about Rolling Daily Markets read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
SAP Rolling Daily - German Equities Spread Betting Example |
So, if you think about the spread of €60.69 - €60.84 and assume that:
- You've done your company analysis, and
- You think that the SAP share price will increase and go higher than €60.84
Then you may choose to buy at €60.84 for a stake of, for example, £2 per cent.
With such a spread bet you win £2 for every cent that the SAP shares rise above €60.84. However, you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the SAP market goes below €60.84.
Looking at this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
As a result, if the share price started to rise you might decide to close your position and therefore guarantee your profits.
If that happened then the spread might move to €61.33 - €61.48. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at €61.33. As a result, with the same £2 stake you would make:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (€61.33 - €60.84) x £2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = €0.49 x £2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 49c x £2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £98 profit
Speculating on shares, by spread trading or otherwise, can fail to go to plan. In the above example, you wanted the share price to rise. Nevertheless, it can also decrease.
If the SAP stock had fallen then you might choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.
So if the market fell to €60.29 - €60.44 then this means you would settle your position by selling at €60.29. As a result, your loss would be:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (€60.29 - €60.84) x £2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -€0.55 x £2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -55c x £2 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£110 loss
