How to Spread Bet on Indices - UK 100 Rolling Daily
As with a wide variety of markets, it is possible to spread bet on stock market indices, like the UK 100, to rise or fall.
Looking at the Paddypowertrader spread betting site, they are pricing the UK 100 Rolling Daily market at 5574.0 - 5575.0. This means you could spread trade on the UK 100 index:
- Going higher than 5575.0, or
- Going lower than 5574.0
Whilst financial spread betting on the UK 100 index you trade in £x per point. As a result, if you decide to invest £6 per point and the UK 100 moves 5.0 points then that would alter your profits by £30. £6 per point x 5.0 points = £30.
Rolling Daily Index Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a normal spread betting futures market, there is no settlement date. If your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next day.
If you allow your trade to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
- Move up - then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
- Move down - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account
For more information see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
UK 100 Rolling Daily Indices Spread Betting Example
Now, if you consider the spread of 5574.0 - 5575.0 and assume:
- you have done your market analysis, and
- it leads you to think that the UK 100 index will increase and move above 5575.0
then you could decide that you want to buy at 5575.0 for a stake of £3 per point.
So, you make a profit of £3 for every point that the UK 100 index pushes higher than 5575.0. Of course, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every point that the UK 100 market goes below 5575.0.
Put another way, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits are calculated by taking the difference between the settlement 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 sessions the index moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet to lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread could change to 5619.6 - 5620.6. You would close your trade by selling at 5619.6. As a result, with the same £3 stake you would make:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (5619.6 - 5575.0) x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 44.6 x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = £133.80 profit
Spread betting is not easy. In the above example, you had bet that the index would rise. Of course, the index can also go down.
If the UK 100 market weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your position in order to limit your losses.
If the market fell to 5536.0 - 5537.0 you would close your position by selling at 5536.0. If so, that would mean you would lose:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (5536.0 - 5575.0) x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -39.0 x £3 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -£117.00 loss
Note: UK 100 Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 29-Nov-10.
Where can I Find Free Live Prices on the UK 100?
If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a firm like Financial Spreads.
Also, you don't have to trade with them, if you just open an account (which is free to do) then their data is free. The catch? You'll get the odd email or letter from them. In the example below you can also see that their free charts are also useful.

Where can I Find Free UK 100 Charts?
As mentioned above, you can get free charts with spread betting companies like Financial Spreads.
You can alter the charts to see market data by the minute, by the hour, by the week etc, plus many other settings to help you analyse the charts.
As you can see the charts show how the market's are not perfect and how you can expect the prices to "gap".
