How to Spread Bet on WPP? |
Should an investor decide to invest in firms such as WPP then one possibility could be spread betting on the WPP share price.
Looking at a spread trading website like InterTrader, you can see that they are currently showing the WPP Rolling Daily market at 840.0p - 841.5p. This means that you can put a spread bet on the WPP shares:
 Rising above 841.5p, or
 Falling below 840.0p
When making a spread bet on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. So, if you chose to invest £5 per penny and the WPP share price changes by 28p then that would alter your profit/loss by £140. £5 per penny x 28p = £140.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a normal futures market, there is no closing date. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
Should your trade roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Go up - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment is normally credited to your account

WPP Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
So, if you consider the spread of 840.0p - 841.5p and make the assumptions that:
- You've analysed the stock market, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel that the WPP shares are likely to push higher than 841.5p
Then you may decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 841.5p for a stake of, for example, £5 per penny.
So, you win £5 for every penny that the WPP shares increase and go above 841.5p. However, it also means that you will make a loss of £5 for every penny that the WPP market falls lower than 841.5p.
Looked at another way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
As a result, if after a few sessions the stock moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet to lock in your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to 866.7p - 868.2p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 866.7p. So, with the same £5 stake your profit would be:
Profit = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit = (866.7p - 841.5p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit = 25.2p x £5 per penny stake
Profit = £126.00 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread trading or otherwise, doesn't always go to plan. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Naturally, the share price might go down.
If the WPP shares had started to fall then you might choose to close your position in order to limit your losses.
Should the market fall back to 819.9p - 821.4p then you would settle your position by selling at 819.9p. As a result, your loss would be:
Loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Loss = (819.9p - 841.5p) x £5 per penny stake
Loss = -21.6p x £5 per penny stake
Loss = -£108.00 loss
Note - WPP Rolling Daily spread taken as of 19-Oct-12.
