How to Spread Bet on SSE? |
If an investor decides to invest in UK listed companies such as SSE then one possibility could be spread betting on the SSE share price.
Looking at a spread betting website like SelftradeMarkets, you can see that they are currently showing the SSE Rolling Daily market at 1448.2p - 1451.8p. This means you could spread bet on the SSE share price:
 Moving above 1451.8p, or
 Moving below 1448.2p
Whilst financial spread betting on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if your stake was £4 per penny and the SSE share price changes by 24p then that would make a difference to your bottom line of £96. £4 per penny x 24p = £96.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore there is no set closing date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next trading session.
If your trade does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then a small payment is often 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.
SSE Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Betting Example |
So, if you continue with the spread of 1448.2p - 1451.8p and assume that:
- You have completed your market analysis, and
- Your research leads you to feel that the SSE shares will move higher than 1451.8p
Then you could decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 1451.8p and risk, for the sake of argument, £3 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £3 for every penny that the SSE shares increase and move above 1451.8p. Nevertheless, it also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every penny that the SSE market falls below 1451.8p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
As a result, if after a few trading sessions the shares moved higher then you might want to close your position and therefore lock in your profits.
So if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to 1494.6p - 1498.2p. In order to close your trade you would sell at 1494.6p. Therefore, with the same £3 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit = (Closing Value - Initial Value) x stake
Profit = (1494.6p - 1451.8p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit = 42.8p x £3 per penny stake
Profit = £128.40 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, it might fall.
If the SSE stock fell then you could choose to close your position to limit your losses.
Should the spread drop to 1414.8p - 1418.4p then you would close your spread bet by selling at 1414.8p. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Loss = (Closing Value - Initial Value) x stake
Loss = (1414.8p - 1451.8p) x £3 per penny stake
Loss = -37.0p x £3 per penny stake
Loss = -£111.00 loss
Note - SSE Rolling Daily market taken as of 19-Oct-12.
