4) How do you Spread Bet on the Hardy Oil and Gas Market to Go Up?
Hardy Oil and Gas Spread Trading Example
If you decide to spread bet on UK shares like Hardy Oil and Gas then, on visiting a spread trading site like Financial Spreads, at the moment you would find a spread of 150.8p - 155.2p.
This means you can bet on Hardy Oil and Gas to go above 155.2p or below 150.8p.
When making a spread bet, you bet on every unit the market increases or decreases; in the case of the Hardy Oil and Gas market a unit is 1p of the share's price movement.
With this example, you could decide to trade £15 for every penny Hardy Oil and Gas increases or decreases.
Betting on the Market to Go Up
If you bought Hardy Oil and Gas at 155.2p and the shares went up then the spread could move to 160.6p - 165.0p. In that case, you might decide to take your profits by closing your spread trade at 160.6p.
Profit/Loss = (final level of the market - initial level of the market) x stake per penny
Profit/Loss = (160.6p - 155.2p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit/Loss = 5.4p x £15 per penny
Profit/Loss = £81.00 profit
On the other hand, if the market had moved down to, for example, 150.5p - 154.9p, you might decide to close your spread bet to limit your losses. If that were to happen, you would sell your trade at 150.5p.
You would close your bet with the same £15 per penny stake:
Profit/Loss = (final level of the market - initial level of the market) x stake per penny
Profit/Loss = (150.5p - 155.2p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit/Loss = -4.7p x £15 per penny
Profit/Loss = -£70.50 loss
5) How do you Spread Bet on the Hardy Oil and Gas Market to Go Down?
A benefit of using a spread bet is that you can go short of the markets.
When we started this example, the spread was 150.8p - 155.2p.
If you were to go short of Hardy Oil and Gas at 150.8p and the shares decreased then the spread could change to 140.6p - 145.0p. If this were the case, you might decide to take your profits by closing your trade at 145.0p.
Profit/Loss = (initial level of the market - final level of the market) x stake per penny
Profit/Loss = (150.8p - 145.0p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit/Loss = 5.8p x £15 per penny
Profit/Loss = £87.00 profit
Financial markets also move up, if the market increased to, for example, 151.4p - 155.8p, you may want to close your trade to prevent further losses. If that happened, you would buy the market at 155.8p.
Therefore, with the same £15 per penny stake:
Profit/Loss = (initial level of the market - final level of the market) x stake per penny
Profit/Loss = (150.8p - 155.8p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit/Loss = -5.0p x £15 per penny
Profit/Loss = -£75.00 loss
