How Do I Spread Bet on FTSE 250 Shares?

Looking at the equities markets, at the moment, the price of the easyJet Rolling Daily market is 394.7p - 395.9p with spread betting firms such as capital spreads.

Like most large cap shares listed on the leading exchanges, an investor can spread bet on the easyJet shares either increasing or decreasing in value. With this easyJet Rolling Daily market, investors can place a spread bet on:

a) easyJet shares to rise higher than 395.9p, or
b) easyJet shares to fall lower than 394.7p.

With the easyJet market you trade in £X per penny, where a penny is 1p of easyJet share movement. As a brief example, if you invested £20 per penny and the easyJet stock moved 5p then you would see a change to your bottom line of £100.

easyJet Equities Spread Trading Example

As a quick example, let’s say you see the real time price on an online spread trading website and it shows a spread of 394.7p - 395.9p. After suitable analysis of the markets, you may come to think that the easyJet share price will increase and go higher than 395.9p. This means:

You think the easyJet shares should rise
As a result, you choose to ‘buy’ the market at 395.9p and invest £10 per penny
The share price rises with the spread moving to 407.8p - 409.0p
With the new price you can decide to take a profit and close your position. You would do this by selling at 407.8p
Price you bought the market at: 395.9p
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (407.8p - 395.9p) x £10 per penny
Profits (or losses) = 11.9p x £10 per penny
Profits (or losses) = £119.00 profit

Investments don’t always go to plan. Had the market failed to move as forecast, and had the easyJet stock decreased in value, with the spread dropping to 385.4p - 386.6p, then you could choose to settle your position and prevent any further losses. In order to do this you would sell at 385.4p.

Your initial buy price: 395.9p
Profits (or losses) = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profits (or losses) = (385.4p - 395.9p) x £10 per penny
Profits (or losses) = -10.5p x £10 per penny
Profits (or losses) = -£105.00 loss

Note that with a Rolling Daily Spread Bet if you Roll a bet over to the subsequent day you might incur a charge or income for every day that the trade is still open. For more information see: Rolling Daily Spread Betting Charges.
