How to Spread Bet on Weir Group

How to Spread Bet on Weir Group?


If an investor wants to invest in UK listed companies like Weir then one option could be spread betting on the Weir share price.

Looking at a financial spread betting site like Selftrade Markets, you can see that they have put the Weir Rolling Daily market at 1825.0p - 1829.0p. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the Weir shares:

  Weir Spread Betting Example Increasing higher than 1829.0p, or
  Weir Trading Example Decreasing lower than 1825.0p

When spread trading on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you decide to invest £5 per penny and the Weir shares move 34p then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £170. £5 per penny x 34p = £170.

Rolling Daily Shares Markets

It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a normal spread betting futures market, there is no closing date. If your trade is open at the end of the day, it will just roll over into the next day.

If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:

  Weir Trading Example Go up - then you will normally be charged a small financing fee, or
  Weir Trading Example Go down - then a small payment is often credited to your account

For a worked example please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Weir Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example


Now, if we continue with the above spread of 1825.0p - 1829.0p and make the assumptions:
  • You've done your analysis of the company, and
  • Your analysis leads you to feel that the Weir shares are likely to go above 1829.0p
Then you might choose to buy a spread bet at 1829.0p and risk £3 per penny.

With such a spread bet you win £3 for every penny that the Weir shares push higher than 1829.0p. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £3 for every penny that the Weir market decreases lower than 1829.0p.

Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

Therefore, if after a few sessions the stock started to rise you might decide to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit. If that happened then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to 1883.9p - 1887.9p. In order to close your position you would sell at 1883.9p. As a result, with the same £3 stake this trade would result in a profit of:

Profit / loss = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (1883.9p - 1829.0p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 54.9p x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £164.70 profit

Spread betting on shares is not always straightforward. In the above example, you wanted the share price to rise. However, the share price might fall.

If the Weir share price decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you might choose to close your position in order to restrict your losses.

If the spread dropped to 1783.3p - 1787.3p then this means you would settle your position by selling at 1783.3p. If so, that would mean you would lose:

Profit / loss = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (1783.3p - 1829.0p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -45.7p x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£137.10 loss

Note: Weir Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
