How to Spread Bet on USD/DKK?

As with many of the world’s markets, you can place a spread bet on FX pairs, like USD/DKK, to rise or fall.

Looking at a spread betting platform like FinancialSpreads.com, you can see that they have put the USD/DKK Rolling Daily market at kr. 5.79444 – kr. 5.79644. Therefore, an investor can spread bet on the USD/DKK pair:

  USD/DKK Trading Example Rising above kr. 5.79644, or
  USD/DKK Spread Trading Example Falling below kr. 5.79444

When financial spread trading on USD/DKK you trade in £x per point where a point is kr. 0.00010 of the pairs movement. So, if you decide to invest £2 per point and USD/DKK moves 39.0 points then that would alter your P&L by £78. £2 per point x kr. 0.00390 = £2 per point x 39.0 points = £78.

Rolling Daily Foreign Exchange Markets

One thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no preset settlement date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.

If your FX spread bet does roll over then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee. Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.


USD/DKK Trading Example 1

So, if we think about the above spread of kr. 5.79444 – kr. 5.79644 and make the assumptions that:

  • You’ve done your analysis, and
  • Your analysis leads you to think the USD/DKK market will rise above kr. 5.79644
Then you could buy a spread bet at kr. 5.79644 for a stake of, let’s say, £2 per point.

So, you gain £2 for every point (kr. 0.00010) that the USD/DKK rate increases higher than kr. 5.79644. On the other hand, you will lose £2 for every point that the USD/DKK market moves lower than kr. 5.79644.

Looking at this from another angle, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.

As a result, if after a few hours the forex pair started to increase then you might think about closing your spread bet to secure your profit.

Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to kr. 5.80311 – kr. 5.80511. To close your position you would sell at kr. 5.80311. Accordingly, with the same £2 stake your profit would come to:

Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price – Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (kr. 5.80311 – kr. 5.79644) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = kr. 0.00667 x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 66.7 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = £133.40 profit

Trading currencies, whether by spread trading or otherwise, is not simple. With this example, you had bet that the forex rate would go up. Of course, the currency rate could go down.

If the USD/DKK rate weakened, against your expectations, then you could choose to close your position in order to limit your losses.

Should the spread pull back to kr. 5.79064 – kr. 5.79264 then this means you would settle your position by selling at kr. 5.79064. This would result in a loss of:

Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Price – Opening Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (kr. 5.79064 – kr. 5.79644) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -kr. 0.00580 x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -58.0 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -£116.00 loss

How to Spread Bet on Dollar - Danish Krone

How to Spread Bet on Dollar – Danish Krone – Example 2

Logging onto Tradefair, you can see that they are currently pricing the Dollar – Danish Krone Rolling Daily market at kr. 5.70518 – kr. 5.70718. Therefore, you can put a spread bet on the Dollar – Danish Krone pair:

  Dollar - Danish Krone Trading Example Increasing above kr. 5.70718, or
  Dollar - Danish Krone Spread Trading Example Decreasing below kr. 5.70518

When spread betting on Dollar – Danish Krone you trade in £x per point where a point is kr. 0.00010 of the pairs movement. So, if you decided to invest £4 per point and Dollar – Danish Krone moves 34.0 points then that would change your bottom line by £136. £4 per point x kr. 0.00340 = £4 per point x 34.0 points = £136.

If you take the above spread of kr. 5.70518 – kr. 5.70718 and make the assumptions that:

  • You have analysed the foreign exchange markets, and
  • Your research leads you to feel the Dollar – Danish Krone market will rise above kr. 5.70718
Then you could buy at kr. 5.70718 and invest, for example, £3 per point.

With such a spread bet you make a profit of £3 for every point (kr. 0.00010) that the Dollar – Danish Krone rate moves higher than kr. 5.70718. Of course, you will make a loss of £3 for every point that the Dollar – Danish Krone market moves lower than kr. 5.70718.

Put another way, should 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 price difference by your stake.

If after a few trading sessions the FX pair moved higher then you might want to close your position in order to lock in your profit.

Therefore, if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to kr. 5.71203 – kr. 5.71403. To close your position you would sell at kr. 5.71203. So, with the same £3 stake your profit would come to:

P&L = (Closing Value – Initial Value) x stake
P&L = (kr. 5.71203 – kr. 5.70718) x £3 per point stake
P&L = kr. 0.00485 x £3 per point stake
P&L = 48.5 points x £3 per point stake
P&L = £145.50 profit

Speculating on currencies is not straightforward. With this example, you had bet that the forex pair would go up. Naturally, the forex rate can also decrease.

If the Dollar – Danish Krone rate had fallen then you could close your trade to stop any further losses.

Should the spread drop to kr. 5.70290 – kr. 5.70490 then you would settle/close your trade by selling at kr. 5.70290. Therefore, you would make a loss of:

P&L = (Closing Value – Initial Value) x stake
P&L = (kr. 5.70290 – kr. 5.70718) x £3 per point stake
P&L = -kr. 0.00428 x £3 per point stake
P&L = -42.8 points x £3 per point stake
P&L = -£128.40 loss
