How to Spread Bet on the Euro/Dollar Market
Let's say you go on Financial Spreads and the current price is:
|
Bid |
|
Ask |
|
| Euro/Dollar Rolling Daily |
1.32480 |
|
1.32490 |
|
This is a brief guide to how it works:
| Market | Euro/Dollar Rolling Daily |
| Spread Betting Price | $1.32480 - $1.32490 |
| What This Means | Now you can take a position on the euro/dollar rolling daily market moving:
 Above $1.32490, or
 Below $1.32480
This market is a 'Rolling Daily' market and so there is no expiry date for this spread bet. If you don't close your trade and the session ends then your trade will roll over into the next session.
If a trade does roll over then you will either pay or receive interest for overnight financing based upon whether you are betting on the market to decrease or increase. For further information also see Rolling Spread Betting. |
| Traded Units | Spread bets on the euro/dollar market are priced in £x per point.
Where a point is $0.00010 of the forex market’s price movement.
E.g. if the euro/dollar moves by $0.00550 then you would win / lose 55 multiples of your stake. |
| Trade Size | You choose how much you want to risk per point, e.g. £2 per point, £5 per point, £20 per point etc. |
| Brief Staking Example | If, as an example, you have a stake of £3 per point and the euro/dollar moves $0.00220 (22 points), you would lose or gain £3 per point x 22 points = £66. |
Worked Spread Betting Example - Buying the Euro/Dollar
Financial spread trading on the FX pair to move up in value
| You Consider Whether to Go Long or Short |
The euro/dollar to move:
Above $1.32490? or
Below $1.32480?
|
| Let’s Assume You Want to Buy |
Above $1.32490
|
| You Choose Your Stake Size, Let's Say You Select | £3 per point |
| Now What Happens? |
- You make a gain of £3 for each point ($0.00010) the euro/dollar increases higher than $1.32490
- You lose £3 for every point ($0.00010) the euro/dollar goes lower than $1.32490
|
| When Speculating on a Market to Rise Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| | |
| Scenario 1 |
| The euro/dollar goes higher and the market is revised to $1.32907 - $1.32917, so you'd see: |
|
1.32907 |
|
1.32917 |
|
| Lock in a Profit? | At this point, you can opt to keep your spread bet open or close it, i.e. close your trade to lock in a profit. In this case you choose to settle your position and sell at $1.32907. |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| ($1.32907 - $1.32490) x £3 per point (£3 per $0.00010) |
| $0.00417 x £3 per point |
| 41.7 points x £3 per point |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | £125.10 profit |
| | |
| Scenario 2 |
| The euro/dollar slips and the spread trading market is revised and moved to $1.32026 - $1.32036, i.e. you'd see: |
|
1.32026 |
|
1.32036 |
|
| Time to Limit the Loss? | You can decide to keep your bet open or close it, i.e. close your position to limit your loss. In this example you choose to settle your bet by selling at $1.32026. |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| ($1.32026 - $1.32490) x £3 per point (£3 per $0.00010) |
| -$0.00464 x £3 per point |
| -46.4 points x £3 per point |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | -£139.20 loss |
Spread Betting Example - Taking a Bearish View of the Euro/Dollar
Spread betting on the FX pair to decrease
| You Select Whether to Go Long or Short |
The euro/dollar to go:
Above $1.32490? or
Below $1.32480?
|
| You Might Want to Go Short |
Below $1.32480 |
| You Choose Your Stake, Let's Say You Choose | £2 per point |
| So What Happens Now? |
- You lose £2 for every point ($0.00010) the euro/dollar moves above $1.32480
- You make a gain of £2 for every point ($0.00010) the euro/dollar moves below $1.32480
|
| If You Are Betting on a Market to Go Down Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | (Opening Price - Closing Price) x stake |
| | |
| Scenario 3 |
| The euro/dollar moves lower and the spread betting market is revised and is set at $1.32011 - $1.32021, i.e. Financial Spreads would show: |
|
1.32011 |
|
1.32021 |
|
| Time to Take a Profit? | At this point, you may choose to leave your position open or close it to take your profit. In this example you opt to close your trade by buying at $1.32021. |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | (Opening Price - Closing Price) x stake |
| ($1.32480 - $1.32021) x £2 per point (£2 per $0.00010) |
| $0.00459 x £2 per point |
| 45.9 points x £2 per point |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | £91.80 profit |
| | |
| Scenario 4 |
| The euro/dollar pushes higher and the financial spread betting market becomes $1.32980 - $1.32990, therefore you'd see: |
|
1.32980 |
|
1.32990 |
|
| Time to Restrict Your Loss? | At this point, you may decide to leave your spread bet open or close it, i.e. close your spread bet to limit your loss. In this instance you opt to settle your trade by buying the market at $1.32990. |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | (Opening Price - Closing Price) x stake |
| ($1.32480 - $1.32990) x £2 per point (£2 per $0.00010) |
| -$0.00510 x £2 per point |
| -51 points x £2 per point |
| Your Trading Profits (or Losses) = | -£102.00 loss |

How to Spread Bet on the Pound/Dollar Market
As an example, let's assume you sign into the FinancialSpreads website and see the current quote is:
|
Bid |
|
Ask |
|
| Pound/Dollar Rolling Daily |
1.62820 |
|
1.62840 |
|
This is a brief example of how the market works:
| Spread Betting Market: | Pound/Dollar Rolling Daily |
| The Quote: | $1.62820 - $1.62840 |
| This Means: | Now you can bet on the pound/dollar rolling daily market to go:
Higher than $1.62840, or
Lower than $1.62820
This is a Rolling Daily trade meaning that it does not have a settlement date. If you decide not to close your trade and the trading session ends then your position will roll over into the next session.
Note that if the trade is rolled over then you will normally either be charged or receive a small fee for overnight financing based upon whether you are betting on the market to move higher or lower. To learn more also see Rolling Daily Spread Betting. |
| Trading Units: | Financial spread bets on the pound/dollar market are priced in £x per point.
Where a point is $0.00010 of the forex pair's price movement.
E.g. if the pound/dollar moves by $0.00400 then you would gain or lose 40 multiples of your stake. |
| Stake Size: | You work out what to risk per point, e.g. £1 per point, £8 per point, £15 per point etc. |
| Quick Staking Example: | With that in mind, if you had a stake of £4 per point and the pound/dollar moves $0.00280 (28 points), you would win/lose £4 per point x 28 points = £112. |
Worked Spread Trading Example - Taking a Bullish View of the Pound/Dollar
Financial spread betting on the currency market to go up
| You Select Whether to Buy or Sell: |
The pound/dollar going:
Higher than $1.62840? or
Lower than $1.62820?
|
| Let’s Say You Buy: |
Higher than $1.62840
|
| You Select Your Stake Size, Choosing: | £1 per point |
| Now What Happens? |
- You win £1 for each point ($0.00010) the pound/dollar pushes higher than $1.62840
- You will make a loss of £1 for every point ($0.00010) the pound/dollar falls lower than $1.62840
|
| If You Are Spread Betting on a Market to Rise Your P&L = | (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| | |
| Situation 1 |
| The pound/dollar goes higher and the market adjusts and moves to $1.63817 - $1.63837, therefore Financial Spreads would show: |
|
1.63817 |
|
1.63837 |
|
| Close for a Profit? | You could choose to leave your position open or close it, i.e. close your position to lock in your profit. For this example, you opt to close your bet by selling the market at $1.63817. |
| Your P&L = | (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| ($1.63817 - $1.62840) x £1 per point (£1 per $0.00010) |
| $0.00977 x £1 per point |
| 97.7 points x £1 per point |
| Your P&L = | £97.70 profit |
| | |
| Situation 2 |
| The pound/dollar goes lower and the spread trading market is adjusted to $1.61985 - $1.62005, i.e. you would see: |
|
1.61985 |
|
1.62005 |
|
| Time to Limit Your Loss? | You may choose to keep your bet open or close it, i.e. close your trade to limit your loss. For this example, you decide to settle your trade by selling at $1.61985. |
| Your P&L = | (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| ($1.61985 - $1.62840) x £1 per point (£1 per $0.00010) |
| -$0.00855 x £1 per point |
| -85.5 points x £1 per point |
| Your P&L = | -£85.50 loss |
Worked Trading Example - Taking a Short Position on the Pound/Dollar
Spread betting on the currency market to go down
| You Now Decide to Go Long or Short: |
The pound/dollar to move:
Higher than $1.62840? or
Lower than $1.62820?
|
| Let's Say You Choose to Sell: |
Lower than $1.62820 |
| You Decide Your Stake Size, Let's Assume You Opt For: | £3 per point |
| Now What? |
- You will make a loss of £3 for every point ($0.00010) the pound/dollar rises higher than $1.62820
- You win £3 for every point ($0.00010) the pound/dollar goes lower than $1.62820
|
| When Spread Betting on a Market to Fall Your P&L = | (Opening Price - Final Price) x stake |
| | |
| Situation 3 |
| The pound/dollar decreases and the financial spread betting market changes to $1.62360 - $1.62380, so you'd see this on Financial Spreads: |
|
1.62360 |
|
1.62380 |
|
| Close and Take Your Profit? | At this point, you can opt to keep your spread bet open or close it to take a profit. In this instance you choose to settle your bet and buy the market at $1.62380. |
| Your P&L = | (Opening Price - Final Price) x stake |
| ($1.62820 - $1.62380) x £3 per point (£3 per $0.00010) |
| $0.00440 x £3 per point |
| 44 points x £3 per point |
| Your P&L = | £132.00 profit |
| | |
| Situation 4 |
| The pound/dollar pushes higher and the spread betting market is revised and moved to $1.63185 - $1.63205, i.e. on Financial Spreads you'd see: |
|
1.63185 |
|
1.63205 |
|
| Time to Restrict the Loss? | You may opt to let your trade run or close it, i.e. close your trade to restrict your loss. In this example you decide to close your bet by buying at $1.63205. |
| Your P&L = | (Opening Price - Final Price) x stake |
| ($1.62820 - $1.63205) x £3 per point (£3 per $0.00010) |
| -$0.00385 x £3 per point |
| -38.5 points x £3 per point |
| Your P&L = | -£115.50 loss |
