How to Spread Bet on USD/CZK? |
As with a wide range of financial markets, you are able to speculate on FX pairs, such as USD/CZK, to rise or fall.
Looking at a spread betting platform like capital spreads, you can see that they are offering the USD/CZK Rolling Daily market at 18.9091 Kc - 18.9431 Kc. As a result, an investor could spread bet on the USD/CZK rate:
 Moving above 18.9431 Kc, or
 Moving below 18.9091 Kc
Whilst spread betting on USD/CZK you trade in £x per point where a point is 0.0010 Kc of the pairs movement. Therefore, if you decided to invest £3 per point and USD/CZK moves 40.0 points then that would alter your bottom line by £120. £3 per point x 0.0400 Kc = £3 per point x 40.0 points = £120.
Rolling Daily Forex Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no settlement date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If your FX position does roll over then you will often be charged a small financing fee. For more information on Rolling Daily Markets, and a fully worked example, please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
USD/CZK Rolling Daily - Foreign Exchange Trading Example |
If you continue with the above spread of 18.9091 Kc - 18.9431 Kc and make the assumptions:
- You have done your FX market analysis, and
- Your research leads you to feel that the USD/CZK market will move above 18.9431 Kc
Then you may buy a spread bet at 18.9431 Kc for a stake of, for example, £2 per point.
So, you win £2 for every point (0.0010 Kc) that the USD/CZK pair pushes higher than 18.9431 Kc. Of course, you will lose £2 for every point that the USD/CZK market decreases below 18.9431 Kc.
Looked at another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the settlement 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 sessions the foreign exchange rate started to move upwards then you could choose to close your spread bet so that you can guarantee your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread might change to 19.0283 Kc - 19.0623 Kc. In order to close your position you would sell at 19.0283 Kc. Therefore, with the same £2 stake:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (19.0283 Kc - 18.9431 Kc) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 0.0852 Kc x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 85.2 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = £170.48 profit
Trading forex, whether by spread betting or otherwise, won’t always go to plan. In the above example, you had bet that the FX pair would increase. Nevertheless, the FX rate could go down.
If the USD/CZK rate fell then you could choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.
Should the market fall back to 18.8484 Kc - 18.8824 Kc then you would close your trade by selling at 18.8484 Kc. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (18.8484 Kc - 18.9431 Kc) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -0.0947 Kc x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -94.7 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -£189.44 loss
