How to Financial Spread Bet on Anglo American
As an example, let's assume that you go on the FinancialSpreads website and see a price of:
| Anglo American Rolling Cash |
Sell
1202.7 |
|
Buy
1204.8 |
|
Here is an example of how the market works:
| Spread Betting Market | Anglo American Rolling Cash |
| The Spread Betting Price | 1202.7p - 1204.8p |
| How the Trade Works | Now you can bet on the Anglo American Rolling Cash market to push:
 Above 1204.8p, or
 Below 1202.7p
This spread betting market is a Rolling market which means that there is no expiry date for this spread bet. If you decide not to close your trade and the session ends then your position will roll over into the next session.
If the trade is rolled over then you will normally either be charged or credited for overnight financing based on whether you are speculating on the market to fall or rise. For additional information see Rolling Spread Betting. |

| Your P&L = | (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| (1230.7p - 1204.8p) x £3 per penny |

| Your P&L = | £77.70 profit |
