How to Financial Spread Bet on BMW
Let's imagine you log on to the Financial Spreads site and see the current quote is:
| BMW Rolling Cash |
Sell
10759.2 |
|
Buy
10785.8 |
|
Here is a brief guide to how it works...
| Spread Trading Market | BMW Rolling Cash |
| Price (Spread) | 10759.2c - 10785.8c |
| How the Market Works | Now you can speculate on the BMW Rolling Cash market moving:
 Above 10785.8c, or
 Below 10759.2c
This is a Rolling market and so there is no final closing date for this spread bet. If you haven't closed your position and the session ends then your trade will automatically roll over into the next trading day.
Note that if a trade is rolled over then you will normally either pay or receive interest for overnight financing based upon whether you are betting on the market to decrease or increase. For more details also see Rolling Spread Bets. |
| Trading Units | Financial spread bets on the BMW market are priced in £x per cent price movement.
E.g. if BMW changes by 50.0c then you would gain or lose 50 times your stake. |
| Stake Size | You work out your stake per cent, e.g. £3 per cent, £5 per cent, £15 per cent etc. |
| Short Staking Example | For example, if you decided on a stake of £4 per cent and BMW moves 35.0c, you would win or lose £4 per cent x 35.0c = £140. |
Worked Trading Example - Buying BMW
Online spread betting on the European equity to increase
| You Work Out Whether to Go Long or Short |
BMW to push:
Above 10785.8c? or
Below 10759.2c?
|
| Let's Assume You Go Long |
Above 10785.8c
|
| You Select Your Stake, Let's Say You Opt For | £2 per cent |
| Now What Happens? |
- You gain £2 for each cent BMW increases higher than 10785.8c
- Your spread bet loses £2 for every cent BMW falls below 10785.8c
|
| When Betting on a Market to Rise Your Profits/Losses = | (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| | |
| Trading Example 1 |
| BMW goes higher and the market is revised and changes to 10882.9c - 10909.5c, so you'd see this on Financial Spreads: |
|
10882.9 |
|
10909.5 |
|
| Close and Take a Profit? | At this point, you may decide to leave your position open or close it in order to take your profit. In this instance you decide to close your trade by selling the market at 10882.9c. |
| Your Profits/Losses = | (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| (10882.9c - 10785.8c) x £2 per cent |
| 97.1c x £2 per cent |
| Your Profits/Losses = | £194.20 profit |
| | |
| Trading Example 2 |
| BMW drops and the spread trading market is moved to 10694.1c - 10720.7c. Therefore you would see: |
|
10694.1 |
|
10720.7 |
|
| Time to Restrict Your Loss? | You may choose to keep your trade open or close it to restrict your loss. For this example, you opt to close your position and sell the market at 10694.1c. |
| Your Profits/Losses = | (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| (10694.1c - 10785.8c) x £2 per cent |
| -91.7c x £2 per cent |
| Your Profits/Losses = | -£183.40 loss |
Worked Example - Going Short of BMW
Financial spread betting on the European equity to decrease
| You Now Decide Whether to Buy or Sell |
BMW to move:
Above 10785.8c? or
Below 10759.2c?
|
| You Might Want to Sell |
Below 10759.2c |

| So What Happens Next? |
- Your spread bet loses £1 for every cent BMW pushes higher than 10759.2c
- You gain £1 for every cent BMW moves below 10759.2c
|
| When You Sell a Spread Bet Your Profits/Losses = | (Initial Price - Settlement Price) x stake |
| | |
| Trading Example 3 |
| BMW decreases and the financial spread betting market is revised to 10572.8c - 10599.4c. Therefore you would see this on Financial Spreads: |
|
10572.8 |
|
10599.4 |
|
| Lock in a Profit? | At this point, you can choose to keep your trade open or close it, i.e. close your spread bet to lock in a profit. In this instance you choose to close your trade and buy at 10599.4c. |
| Your Profits/Losses = | (Initial Price - Settlement Price) x stake |
| (10759.2c - 10599.4c) x £1 per cent |
| 159.8c x £1 per cent |
| Your Profits/Losses = | £159.80 profit |
| | |
| Trading Example 4 |
| BMW pushes higher and the spread betting market adjusts and moves to 10883.5c - 10910.1c. I.e. the market moves to: |
|
10883.5 |
|
10910.1 |
|
| Time to Limit Your Loss? | You can opt to let your spread bet run or close it, i.e. close your spread bet and restrict your losses. In this case you opt to close your trade by buying at 10910.1c. |
| Your Profits/Losses = | (Initial Price - Settlement Price) x stake |
| (10759.2c - 10910.1c) x £1 per cent |
| -150.9c x £1 per cent |
| Your Profits/Losses = | -£150.90 loss |
