How to Spread Bet on Standard Chartered? |
If you are looking to speculate on UK companies such as Standard Chartered then one solution could be to place a spread bet on the Standard Chartered share price.
Looking at a spread betting website like Selftrade Markets, we can see that they are showing the Standard Chartered Rolling Daily market at 1483.7p - 1486.3p. This means an investor could spread trade on the Standard Chartered shares:
 Moving higher than 1486.3p, or
 Moving lower than 1483.7p
Whilst spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. So, should you decide to invest £4 per penny and the Standard Chartered shares move 26p then that would alter your P&L by £104. £4 per penny x 26p = £104.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a normal spread betting futures market, there is no settlement date. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next day.
Should your position roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Move up - then you normally pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Move down - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
To learn more about Rolling Daily Markets please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Standard Chartered Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
If you think about the above spread of 1483.7p - 1486.3p and make the assumptions that:
- You've analysed the shares, and
- Your research suggests the Standard Chartered share price is likely to move above 1486.3p
Then you might buy a spread bet at 1486.3p for a stake of, let’s say, £3 per penny.
This means that you make a profit of £3 for every penny that the Standard Chartered shares rise higher than 1486.3p. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will lose £3 for every penny that the Standard Chartered market moves below 1486.3p.
Looked at another way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few trading sessions the stock moved higher then you might want to close your trade to lock in your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread might change to 1530.9p - 1533.5p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 1530.9p. As a result, with the same £3 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Profit = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Profit = (1530.9p - 1486.3p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit = 44.6p x £3 per penny stake
Profit = £133.80 profit
Spread betting on shares may not go to plan. With this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, it might fall.
If the Standard Chartered share price dropped then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to limit your losses.
If the spread fell to 1447.7p - 1450.3p then this means you would settle your spread bet by selling at 1447.7p. This would result in a loss of:
Loss = (Closing Level - Opening Level) x stake
Loss = (1447.7p - 1486.3p) x £3 per penny stake
Loss = -38.6p x £3 per penny stake
Loss = -£115.80 loss
Note: Standard Chartered Rolling Daily spread betting market correct as of 19-Oct-12.
