How to Spread Bet on the US Tech 100? |
As with a range of markets, you are able to speculate on stock market indices, like the US Tech 100, to either increase or decrease.
Looking at a spread trading platform like Tradefair, we can see that they have priced the US Tech 100 Rolling Daily market at 2792.4 - 2792.8. This means that an investor could put a spread bet on the US Tech 100 index:
 Increasing above 2792.8, or
 Decreasing below 2792.4
When spread betting on the US Tech 100 index you trade in £x per 0.1 points. As a result, if you chose to risk £3 per 0.1 points and the US Tech 100 moves 3.9 points then that would make a difference to your P&L of £117. £3 per 0.1 points x 3.9 points = £117.
Rolling Daily Indices Markets
You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no predetermined closing date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it will roll over to the next session.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Go up - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account

US Tech 100 Rolling Daily - Index Spread Trading Example |
So, if we take the above spread of 2792.4 - 2792.8 and make the assumptions:
- You have analysed the stock market, and
- Your analysis leads you to think that the US Tech 100 index will rise above 2792.8
Then you could go long of the market at 2792.8 for a stake of £3 per 0.1 points.
With such a bet you make a profit of £3 for every 0.1 points that the US Tech 100 index moves higher than 2792.8. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every 0.1 points that the US Tech 100 market decreases below 2792.8.
Looking at this from another angle, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
As a result, if the US tech market rose then you might want to close your position so that you can guarantee your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to 2798.1 - 2798.5. To close your trade you would sell at 2798.1. Accordingly, with the same £3 stake you would calculate your profit as:
P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (2798.1 - 2792.8) x £3 per 0.1 points stake
P&L = 5.3 x £3 per 0.1 points stake
P&L = £159 profit
Speculating on indices, whether by spread trading or otherwise, can work against you. In this example, you had bet that the US index would increase. Nevertheless, the index might go down.
If the US Tech 100 market had started to fall then you could choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.
Should the market pull back to 2787.1 - 2787.5 then this means you would sell back your position at 2787.1. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (2787.1 - 2792.8) x £3 per 0.1 points stake
P&L = -5.7 x £3 per 0.1 points stake
P&L = -£171 loss
Note: US Tech 100 Rolling Daily market correct as of 27-Sep-12.
