How to Spread Bet on Capita
Let's imagine you look at the FinancialSpreads site and are presented with:
| Capita Rolling Cash |
Sell
1157.2 |
|
Buy
1159.8 |
|
Here's a brief example of how it works.
| Market: | Capita Rolling Cash |
| Price (Spread): | 1157.2p - 1159.8p |
| How the Market Works: | You can bet on the Capita Rolling Cash market to push:
 Higher than 1159.8p, or
 Lower than 1157.2p
This market is a Rolling market so it does not have a closing date. If you decide not to close your trade and the trading session ends then your position will automatically roll over to the next trading session.
If a trade is rolled over then you will either have to pay or receive interest for overnight financing depending on whether you are betting on the market to go down or up. For further information also see Rolling Spread Betting. |
| Traded Units: | Bets on the Capita market are priced in £x per penny price movement.
E.g. if Capita changes by 50p then you would lose or win 50 multiples of your stake. |
| Stake Size: | You work out how much you want to trade per penny, e.g. £3 per penny, £8 per penny, £15 per penny etc. |
| Short Staking Exercise: | For example, if your stake was £3 per penny and Capita moves 25p, you would win / lose £3 per penny x 25p = £75. |
Trading Example - Going Long of Capita
Spread trading on the share to increase
| You Decide to Buy or Sell: |
Capita going:
Higher than 1159.8p? or
Lower than 1157.2p?
|
| Let's Assume You Choose to Buy: |
Higher than 1159.8p
|
| You Decide Your Stake, Let's Say You Opt For: | £5 per penny |
| So What Next? |
- You gain £5 for each penny Capita moves above 1159.8p
- You will make a loss of £5 for every penny Capita pushes below 1159.8p
|
| If You Are Betting on a Market to Increase Your Trading P&L = | (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| | |
| Situation 1 |
| Capita increases and the market is adjusted and moved to 1189.4p - 1192.0p, so you'd see this on Financial Spreads: |
|
1189.4 |
|
1192.0 |
|
| Take a Profit? | You can decide to leave your trade open or close it and lock in a profit. For this example, you opt to settle your position by selling the market at 1189.4p. |
| Your Trading P&L = | (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| (1189.4p - 1159.8p) x £5 per penny |
| 29.6p x £5 per penny |
| Your Trading P&L = | £148.00 profit |
| | |
| Situation 2 |
| Capita pushes lower and the spread trading market moves to 1125.0p - 1127.6p. Therefore you'd see this on Financial Spreads: |
|
1125.0 |
|
1127.6 |
|
| Time to Restrict the Loss? | You can decide to let your position run or close it, i.e. close your spread bet to restrict your losses. In this example you choose to close your bet and sell at 1125.0p. |
| Your Trading P&L = | (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake |
| (1125.0p - 1159.8p) x £5 per penny |
| -34.8p x £5 per penny |
| Your Trading P&L = | -£174.00 loss |

| (1157.2p - 1115.9p) x £4 per penny |
| 41.3p x £4 per penny |
| Your Trading P&L = | £165.20 profit |
| | |
