How to Spread Bet on French Shares - Thales Rolling Daily
Should you want to invest in European companies like Thales then one option could be to spread trade on the Thales share price.
If an investor was to look at the Tradefair spread betting website, they are currently pricing the Thales Rolling Daily market at €22.43 - €22.51. Therefore, you can spread trade on the Thales share price:
- Rising above €22.51, or
- Falling below €22.43
Whilst financial spread betting on French equities you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you chose to risk £2 per cent and the Thales shares move €0.05 then that would alter your profit/loss by £10. £2 per cent x €0.05 = £10.
You can also spread bet on this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. Therefore, if you decide not to close your trade by the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next trading session.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
- Rise - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
- Fall - then a small payment is usually 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.
Thales Rolling Daily - French Equities Spread Trading Example
Now, if we think about the above spread of €22.43 - €22.51 and make the assumptions:
- you have analysed the equities market, and
- you think that the Thales share price will increase and move higher than €22.51
then you might buy a spread bet at €22.51 for a stake of, for example, £1 per cent.
So, you make a profit of £1 for every cent that the Thales shares increase and go above €22.51. Of course, such a bet also means that you will lose £1 for every cent that the Thales market decreases below €22.51.
Put another way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few hours the stock started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can guarantee your profit.
Therefore, if the spread betting market moved up then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to €23.30 - €23.38. In order to close your position you would sell at €23.30. Therefore, with the same £1 stake your profit would be:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (€23.30 - €22.51) x £1 per cent stake
Profit / loss = €0.79 x £1 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 79c x £1 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £79 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not always easy. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. However, the share price can also fall.
If the Thales share price fell then you could choose to close your position in order to limit your losses.
Should the market fall back to €21.58 - €21.66 you would close your spread bet by selling at €21.58. This would result in a loss of:
Profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (€21.58 - €22.51) x £1 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -€0.93 x £1 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -93c x £1 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£93 loss
