Spread Betting Answers:
1. How to Spread Bet on Amazon shares?
Looking at the equities markets, the current price of the Amazon Rolling Daily market is $121.75 - $121.90 with Tradefair.
Like the majority of leading shares listed on the stock exchanges, you can speculate on the Amazon shares to go up or down in value. With this Amazon Rolling Daily market, an investor can place a spread bet on:
a) Amazon shares to move above $121.90, or
b) Amazon shares to move below $121.75.
Note that with the Amazon market you trade in £X per cent, where a cent is 1¢ of Amazon share price movement. Considering an example, if your stake was £2 per cent and the Amazon stock moved 5¢ then that would result in a difference to your profits/losses of £10.
Amazon Shares Spread Betting Example
As a quick example, let’s assume you see the real time price on an online spread trading website and it shows the current spread of $121.75 - $121.90. So, having done suitable analysis, you might come to think that the Amazon shares is going to go above $121.90. This would mean:
- You think that the Amazon share price will rise
- You decide you want to ‘buy’ the market at $121.90 and you bet £1 per cent
- The price of the shares increases and the spread moves to $123.24 - $123.39
- As a result, you can decide to guarantee a profit and close your position by selling at $123.24
- Your initial buy price: $121.90
- Profit / Loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
- Profit / Loss = ($123.24 - $121.90) x £1 per cent
- Profit / Loss = $1.34 x £1 per cent
- Profit / Loss = 134¢ x £1 per cent
- Profit / Loss = £134 profit
Spread betting does not always go to plan. Had the market failed to move as forecasted, and had the Amazon stock decreased in price, with the spread dropping to $120.50 - $120.65, then you can choose to settle your position and restrict your loss. To do this you would sell at $120.50.
- Buy price = $121.90
- Profit / Loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
- Profit / Loss = ($120.50 - $121.90) x £1 per cent
- Profit / Loss = -$1.40 x £1 per cent
- Profit / Loss = -140¢ x £1 per cent
- Profit / Loss = -£140 loss
Note that with a Rolling Daily Spread Bet if you Roll a bet over to the following day you might incur a charge or income for every day that the trade is still open. Further information can be found at: Rolling Daily Spread Betting Charges.
