How to Spread Bet on Siemens

How to Spread Bet on Siemens?


If an investor decides to invest in European listed companies like Siemens then one option could be spread betting on the Siemens share price.

Looking at a spread trading website like Tradefair, you can see they are pricing the Siemens Rolling Daily market at €82.80 - €83.01. Therefore, you can spread bet on the Siemens shares:

  Siemens Trading Example Moving higher than €83.01, or
  Siemens Spread Betting Example Moving lower than €82.80

Whilst spread betting on German shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, should you decide to invest £3 per cent and the Siemens share price moves €0.35 then that would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £105. £3 per cent x €0.35 = £105.

Note that you can also spread bet on 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. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it will roll over to the next session.

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

  Siemens Spread Betting Example Increase - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
  Siemens Spread Betting Example Decrease - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account

If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Siemens Rolling Daily - German Shares Spread Betting Example


Now, if we think about the spread of €82.80 - €83.01 and make the assumptions that:
  • You've done your analysis of the shares, and
  • You feel that the Siemens share price looks like it will push higher than €83.01
Then you could decide to go long of the market at €83.01 and invest, for example, £2 per cent.

With such a bet you win £2 for every cent that the Siemens shares rise above €83.01. Nevertheless, it also means that you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the Siemens market goes lower than €83.01.

Looking at this from another angle, 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 spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

If after a few days the share price started to increase then you might think about closing your trade and therefore lock in your profits. As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread betting company, might move up to €83.67 - €83.88. To settle/close your trade you would sell at €83.67. Accordingly, with the same £2 stake you would calculate your profit as:

Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (€83.67 - €83.01) x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = €0.66 x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 66c x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £132 profit

Trading equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, can fail to go to plan. In this case, you had bet that the share price would go up. However, the share price might decrease.

If the Siemens shares decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you might choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.

So if the market pulled back to €82.43 - €82.64 you would sell back your position at €82.43. If so, your loss would be calculated as:

Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (€82.43 - €83.01) x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -€0.58 x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -58c x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£116 loss

Note: Siemens Rolling Daily market accurate as of 18-Dec-12.
