How to Spread Bet on BAE Systems? |
If you want to invest in UK listed companies such as BAE Systems then one option could be to spread trade on the BAE Systems share price.
Looking at Selftrade Markets, you can see that they have put the BAE Systems Rolling Daily market at 318.7p - 319.3p. As a result, you could spread bet on the BAE Systems shares:
 Moving higher than 319.3p, or
 Moving lower than 318.7p
Whilst making a spread bet on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you chose to risk £3 per penny and the BAE Systems share price changes by 36p then that would make a difference to your bottom line of £108. £3 per penny x 36p = £108.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no closing date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next day.
If your bet is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Go higher - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Go lower - then you will often receive a small payment to your account
For a more detailed guide to Rolling Daily Markets, including a fully worked example, please read our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
BAE Systems Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
Now, if we take the above spread of 318.7p - 319.3p and assume:
- You've done your analysis of the company, and
- Your analysis leads you to think that the BAE Systems share price looks like it will push higher than 319.3p
Then you may decide to go long of the market at 319.3p for a stake of, let’s say, £20 per penny.
Therefore, you make a profit of £20 for every penny that the BAE Systems shares move above 319.3p. However, you will make a loss of £20 for every penny that the BAE Systems market decreases below 319.3p.
Put another way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few trading sessions the stock started to move upwards then you could choose to close your trade and therefore guarantee your profits.
Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread could change to 326.5p - 327.1p. In order to close your trade you would sell at 326.5p. So, with the same £20 stake you would calculate your profit as:
Profit = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (326.5p - 319.3p) x £20 per penny stake
Profit = 7.2p x £20 per penny stake
Profit = £144.00 profit
Speculating on equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not simple. With this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Of course, the share price can also fall.
If the BAE Systems shares had fallen then you might decide to close/settle your trade in order to restrict your losses.
If the spread fell to 311.3p - 311.9p then this means you would close your trade by selling at 311.3p. As a result, your loss would be:
Loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (311.3p - 319.3p) x £20 per penny stake
Loss = -8.0p x £20 per penny stake
Loss = -£160.00 loss
Note - BAE Systems Rolling Daily equities market correct as of 19-Oct-12.
