How to Spread Bet on Volkswagen? |
If an investor wants to speculate on European listed companies like Volkswagen then one possibility could be to spread bet on the Volkswagen share price.
Logging into Tradefair, you can see they are valuing the Volkswagen Rolling Daily market at €171.37 - €171.83. Therefore, an investor can spread trade on the Volkswagen share price:
 Moving above €171.83, or
 Moving below €171.37
Whilst spread trading on German shares you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, should you choose to risk £3 per cent and the Volkswagen share price moves €0.35 then that would change your profit/loss by £105. £3 per cent x €0.35 = £105.
Note that you can also spread bet on this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. $x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so in contrast with futures markets, there is no settlement date. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it will simply roll over to the next trading day.
If your spread bet is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Go up - then you usually pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment is normally credited to your account

Volkswagen Rolling Daily - German Shares Trading Example |
So, if you continue with the spread of €171.37 - €171.83 and make the assumptions that:
- You've done your analysis of the markets, and
- You feel that the Volkswagen shares are likely to increase and move above €171.83
Then you might choose to buy at €171.83 and invest, let’s say, £2 per cent.
Therefore, you win £2 for every cent that the Volkswagen shares move higher than €171.83. Conversely, however, you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the Volkswagen market falls lower than €171.83.
Looked at another way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
If after a few sessions the shares rose then you might consider closing your spread bet in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to €172.52 - €172.98. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at €172.52. Accordingly, with the same £2 stake this trade would make you a profit of:
Your profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Your profit / loss = (€172.52 - €171.83) x £2 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = €0.69 x £2 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = 69c x £2 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = £138 profit
Speculating on equities, by spread betting or otherwise, is not always simple. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Naturally, it might fall.
If the Volkswagen stock weakened, against your expectations, then you might decide to settle/close your position to limit your losses.
If the market dropped to €171.06 - €171.52 then this means you would close your spread bet by selling at €171.06. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
Your profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Your profit / loss = (€171.06 - €171.83) x £2 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = -€0.77 x £2 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = -77c x £2 per cent stake
Your profit / loss = -£154 loss
Note: Volkswagen Rolling Daily equities market taken as of 18-Dec-12.
