How to Spread Bet on USD/MXN?
As with many global markets, it is possible to speculate on FX rates, like USD/MXN, to go up or down.Logging onto FinancialSpreads, we can see that they are currently pricing the USD/MXN Rolling Daily market at $12.97555 – $12.98435. This means an investor could put a spread bet on the USD/MXN rate:


When spread betting on USD/MXN you trade in £x per point where a point is $0.00010 of the pairs movement. As a result, if your stake was £3 per point and USD/MXN moves 20.0 points then that would alter your profit/loss by £60. £3 per point x $0.00200 = £3 per point x 20.0 points = £60.
Rolling Daily Forex Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no closing date for this market. Should your trade be left open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next session.If your FX spread bet is rolled over then you will be charged a small overnight financing fee. For a more detailed breakdown of Rolling Daily Markets please read our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
USD/MXN Trading Example 1
So, if we consider the above spread of $12.97555 – $12.98435 and assume:- You have analysed the markets, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel the USD/MXN market will increase and go higher than $12.98435
Therefore, you make a profit of £2 for every point ($0.00010) that the USD/MXN pair rises above $12.98435. Having said that, you will lose £2 for every point that the USD/MXN market falls lower than $12.98435.
Looking at this from another angle, 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 initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few days the FX pair started to move upwards then you could choose to close your position so that you can guarantee your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to $12.99383 – $13.00263. You would settle your position by selling at $12.99383. As a result, with the same £2 stake this trade would make you a profit of:
Profit = (Closing Price – Initial Price) x stake
Profit = ($12.99383 – $12.98435) x £2 per point stake
Profit = $0.00948 x £2 per point stake
Profit = 94.8 points x £2 per point stake
Profit = £189.60 profit
Trading forex, whether by spread betting or not, is not always simple. With the above, you wanted the forex pair to increase. Nevertheless, the forex rate can also fall.
If the USD/MXN rate had started to drop then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet to stop any further losses.
If the market fell to $12.97422 – $12.98302 then you would close your spread bet by selling at $12.97422. If so, that would mean you would lose:
Loss = (Closing Price – Initial Price) x stake
Loss = ($12.97422 – $12.98435) x £2 per point stake
Loss = -$0.01013 x £2 per point stake
Loss = -101.3 points x £2 per point stake
Loss = -£202.60 loss
Note – USD/MXN Rolling Daily FX market accurate as of 11-Sep-12.

How to Spread Bet on Dollar – Mexican Peso – Example 2
Looking at a spread trading website like Tradefair, we can see that they have priced the Dollar – Mexican Peso Rolling Daily market at $12.80445 – $12.81325. Therefore, you could spread bet on the Dollar – Mexican Peso pair:

Whilst financial spread trading on Dollar – Mexican Peso you trade in £x per point where a point is $0.00010 of the pairs movement. As a result, if you chose to have a stake of £4 per point and Dollar – Mexican Peso moves 39.0 points then that would alter your bottom line by £156. £4 per point x $0.00390 = £4 per point x 39.0 points = £156.
Now, if we take the spread of $12.80445 – $12.81325 and assume:
- You have done your analysis of the currency markets, and
- You think that the Dollar – Mexican Peso rate will increase and move higher than $12.81325
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £2 for every point ($0.00010) that the Dollar – Mexican Peso rate increases above $12.81325. Of course, you will lose £2 for every point that the Dollar – Mexican Peso market goes below $12.81325.
Considering this from another angle, if you were to buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
Therefore, if after a few sessions the forex pair started to increase then you might think about closing your spread bet in order to lock in your profit.
As an example, if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to $12.82350 – $12.83230. In order to close your trade you would sell at $12.82350. As a result, with the same £2 stake you would make a profit of:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Level – Opening Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($12.82350 – $12.81325) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.01025 x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = 102.5 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = £205.00 profit
Financial spread betting on FX is not always straightforward. With this example, you had bet that the FX pair would rise. Nevertheless, it might fall.
If the Dollar – Mexican Peso market decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you might decide to close/settle your trade to stop any further losses.
Should the spread fall back to $12.80364 – $12.81244 you would settle your position by selling at $12.80364. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Profits (or losses) = (Final Level – Opening Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($12.80364 – $12.81325) x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.00961 x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -96.1 points x £2 per point stake
Profits (or losses) = -£192.20 loss
