How to Spread Bet on EUR/AUD?

As with a lot of markets, investors can spread bet on forex rates, like EUR/AUD, to either increase or decrease.

Looking at a spread betting platform like FXCM, you can see they are currently pricing the EUR/AUD Rolling Daily market at A$1.23163 – A$1.23243. Therefore, an investor could spread trade on the EUR/AUD rate:

  EUR/AUD Spread Trading Example Increasing above A$1.23243, or
  EUR/AUD Spread Betting Example Decreasing below A$1.23163

Whilst spread betting on EUR/AUD you trade in £x per point where a point is A$0.00010 of the pairs movement. So, should you decide to invest £4 per point and EUR/AUD moves 22.0 points then that would change your profit/loss by £88. £4 per point x A$0.00220 = £4 per point x 22.0 points = £88.

Rolling Daily Foreign Exchange Markets

You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a futures market, there is no settlement date. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.

If your FX position is rolled over then you are usually charged a small overnight financing fee. To see a fully worked example read Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


EUR/AUD Trading Example 1

Now, if we take the above spread of A$1.23163 – A$1.23243 and assume:

  • You’ve done your analysis, and
  • You think that the EUR/AUD market will go higher than A$1.23243
Then you might go long of the market at A$1.23243 and invest, let’s say, £2 per point.

With such a spread bet you make a profit of £2 for every point (A$0.00010) that the EUR/AUD pair moves above A$1.23243. Nevertheless, it also means that you will make a loss of £2 for every point that the EUR/AUD market moves below A$1.23243.

Considering this from another angle, if you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.

If after a few hours the forex pair started to rise you might decide to close your position in order to guarantee your profit.

So if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to A$1.23859 – A$1.23939. You would settle your position by selling at A$1.23859. As a result, with the same £2 stake your profit would come to:

P&L = (Settlement Price – Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (A$1.23859 – A$1.23243) x £2 per point stake
P&L = A$0.00616 x £2 per point stake
P&L = 61.6 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = £123.20 profit

Financial spread trading won’t always go to plan. With this example, you had bet that the FX pair would rise. However, the FX rate might go down.

If the EUR/AUD rate weakened, against your expectations, then you might choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.

If the spread dropped to A$1.22707 – A$1.22787 you would settle your spread bet by selling at A$1.22707. This would result in a loss of:

P&L = (Settlement Price – Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (A$1.22707 – A$1.23243) x £2 per point stake
P&L = -A$0.00536 x £2 per point stake
P&L = -53.6 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = -£107.20 loss

How to Spread Bet on Euro - Australian Dollar

How to Spread Bet on Euro – Australian Dollar – Example 2


Looking at a spread betting platform like Tradefair, we can see they are pricing the Euro – Australian Dollar Rolling Daily market at A$1.24961 – A$1.25041. This means you can put a spread bet on the Euro – Australian Dollar rate:

  Euro - Australian Dollar Trading Example Going higher than A$1.25041, or
  Euro - Australian Dollar Spread Trading Example Going lower than A$1.24961

Whilst spread trading on Euro – Australian Dollar you trade in £x per point where a point is A$0.00010 of the pairs movement. As a result, if you decide to invest £3 per point and Euro – Australian Dollar moves 39.0 points then that would alter your profits (or losses) by £117. £3 per point x A$0.00390 = £3 per point x 39.0 points = £117.

Now, if we continue with the spread of A$1.24961 – A$1.25041 and assume that:

  • You’ve completed your research, and
  • You think that the Euro – Australian Dollar rate will push higher than A$1.25041
Then you could decide that you want to buy at A$1.25041 for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £2 per point.

Therefore, you make a profit of £2 for every point (A$0.00010) that the Euro – Australian Dollar pair pushes above A$1.25041. Nevertheless, it also means that you will lose £2 for every point that the Euro – Australian Dollar market goes below A$1.25041.

Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.

As a result, if after a few days the rate moved higher then you could consider closing your position and therefore lock in your profits.

So if the market rose then the spread might move to A$1.25679 – A$1.25759. You would settle your position by selling at A$1.25679. Therefore, with the same £2 stake you would calculate your profit as:

P&L = (Closing Value – Initial Value) x stake
P&L = (A$1.25679 – A$1.25041) x £2 per point stake
P&L = A$0.00638 x £2 per point stake
P&L = 63.8 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = £127.60 profit

Financial spread betting on forex is not simple. In the above example, you wanted the FX pair to rise. Of course, the forex rate could fall.

If the Euro – Australian Dollar market weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your position to limit your losses.

Should the spread drop to A$1.24478 – A$1.24558 you would settle/close your trade by selling at A$1.24478. That would mean you would lose:

P&L = (Closing Value – Initial Value) x stake
P&L = (A$1.24478 – A$1.25041) x £2 per point stake
P&L = -A$0.00563 x £2 per point stake
P&L = -56.3 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = -£112.60 loss
