How to Spread Bet on HSBC

How to Spread Bet on HSBC?


Should you decide to speculate on firms such as HSBC then one option is to spread trade on the HSBC share price.

Looking at a website like capital spreads, we can see that they have priced the HSBC Rolling Daily market at 614.3p - 615.3p. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the HSBC share price:

  HSBC Trading Example Rising above 615.3p, or
  HSBC Spread Trading Example Falling below 614.3p

When spread betting on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you decide to invest £3 per penny and the HSBC shares move 20p then that would make a difference to your bottom line of £60. £3 per penny x 20p = £60.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no closing date for this market. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.

If a position is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:

  HSBC Spread Trading Example Rise - then you are charged a small overnight financing fee, or
  HSBC Spread Trading Example Fall - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account

You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


HSBC Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example


So, if we continue with the spread of 614.3p - 615.3p and assume that:
  • You've completed your research into the company, and
  • You feel that the HSBC share price will move higher than 615.3p
Then you could decide that you want to buy at 615.3p and invest, let’s say, £5 per penny.

So, you gain £5 for every penny that the HSBC shares increase and go above 615.3p. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £5 for every penny that the HSBC market goes lower than 615.3p.

Considering this from another angle, if you were to 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 initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.

As a result, if after a few days the share price rose then you might consider closing your spread bet so that you can secure your profit. As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread betting company, might move up to 633.8p - 634.8p. You would close your position by selling at 633.8p. Accordingly, with the same £5 stake you would make a profit of:

Your P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your P&L = (633.8p - 615.3p) x £5 per penny stake
Your P&L = 18.5p x £5 per penny stake
Your P&L = £92.50 profit

Spread betting on shares doesn't always work out as you would have liked. In this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Of course, it could decrease.

If the HSBC stock fell then you might choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.

Should the spread fall back to 593.1p - 594.1p you would settle your spread bet by selling at 593.1p. If so, your loss would be calculated as:

Your P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Your P&L = (593.1p - 615.3p) x £5 per penny stake
Your P&L = -22.2p x £5 per penny stake
Your P&L = -£111.00 loss

Note: HSBC Rolling Daily equities market correct as of 19-Oct-12.
