How to Spread Bet on USD/NOK? |
As with many markets, you can spread bet on forex pairs, like USD/NOK, to either rise or fall.
Looking at a spread trading website like Capitalspreads, you can see they are pricing the USD/NOK Rolling Daily market at kr 5.76241 - kr 5.76741. This means that you can put a spread bet on the USD/NOK rate:
 Increasing higher than kr 5.76741, or
 Decreasing lower than kr 5.76241
Whilst placing a spread bet on USD/NOK you trade in £x per point where a point is kr 0.00010 of the pairs movement. As a result, if your stake was £3 per point and USD/NOK moves 35.0 points then that would make a difference to your P&L of £105. £3 per point x kr 0.00350 = £3 per point x 35.0 points = £105.
Rolling Daily Forex Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no closing date for this market. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will simply roll over to the next session.
If you do let your FX trade roll over then you'll normally be charged a small financing fee. If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
USD/NOK Rolling Daily - Foreign Exchange Trading Example |
If you continue with the above spread of kr 5.76241 - kr 5.76741 and make the assumptions:
- You've completed your market analysis, and
- You think the USD/NOK rate will rise higher than kr 5.76741
Then you could decide that you want to buy at kr 5.76741 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £2 per point.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £2 for every point (kr 0.00010) that the USD/NOK pair increases above kr 5.76741. Of course, it also means that you will make a loss of £2 for every point that the USD/NOK market moves lower than kr 5.76741.
Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found 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 the stake.
As a result, if after a few trading sessions the foreign exchange rate started to move upwards then you could choose to close your spread bet to secure your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to kr 5.77318 - kr 5.77818. You would close your spread bet by selling at kr 5.77318. Therefore, with the same £2 stake you would make a profit of:
P&L = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (kr 5.77318 - kr 5.76741) x £2 per point stake
P&L = kr 0.00577 x £2 per point stake
P&L = 57.7 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = £115.40 profit
Speculating on currencies, whether by spread trading or otherwise, can go against you. With the above, you had bet that the forex pair would go up. Naturally, the forex rate might go down.
If the USD/NOK market began to fall then you could close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
So if the spread fell to kr 5.76078 - kr 5.76578 you would settle your position by selling at kr 5.76078. So your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (kr 5.76078 - kr 5.76741) x £2 per point stake
P&L = -kr 0.00663 x £2 per point stake
P&L = -66.3 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = -£132.60 loss
