How to Spread Bet on Next
As an example, let's say you sign into FinancialSpreads.com and the current price is:
| Next Rolling Cash |
Sell
7214.9 |
|
Buy
7230.1 |
|
This is a brief example of how the market works...
| The Market | Next Rolling Cash |
| The Quote | 7214.9p - 7230.1p |
| How the Spread Works | Now you can bet on the Next Rolling Cash market to move:
 Above 7230.1p, or
 Below 7214.9p
This is a Rolling trade which means that there is no settlement date for this trade. If you decide not to close your trade and the trading session ends then your position will automatically roll over into the next trading day.
If the trade is rolled over then you will either receive or be charged interest for overnight financing based on whether you are speculating on the market to go up or down. For additional details also see Rolling Spread Bets. |
| Trading Units | Trades on the Next market are made in £x per penny price movement.
E.g. if Next changes by 45p then you would gain or lose 45 times your stake. |
| Stake (Trade Size) | You decide how much you are going to stake per penny, e.g. £1 per penny, £4 per penny, £15 per penny etc. |
| Brief Staking Example | If, for example, you have a stake of £3 per penny and Next moves 28p, you would lose / win £3 per penny x 28p = £84. |
Worked Spread Trading Example - Going Long of Next
Spread trading on the equity to go up
| You Now Work Out Whether to Go Long or Short |
Next moving:
Above 7230.1p? or
Below 7214.9p?
|
| Let's Say You Decide to Go Long |
Above 7230.1p
|
| You Select Your Stake Size, Let's Say You Select | £2 per penny |
| So What Next? |
- You will make a profit of £2 for every penny Next goes above 7230.1p
- Your spread bet loses £2 for each penny Next decreases lower than 7230.1p
|
| If You Are Betting on a Market to Go Up Your P&L = | (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| | |
| Example 1 |
| Next moves higher and the financial spread betting market is adjusted and moved to 7331.3p - 7346.5p, i.e. |
|
7331.3 |
|
7346.5 |
|
| Take Your Profit? | At this point, you may opt to keep your bet open or close it and take a profit. In this case you choose to close your bet and sell the market at 7331.3p. |
| Your P&L = | (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| (7331.3p - 7230.1p) x £2 per penny |
| 101.2p x £2 per penny |
| Your P&L = | £202.40 profit |
| | |
| Example 2 |
| Next decreases and the market is moved to 7139.7p - 7154.9p, therefore you would see: |
|
7139.7 |
|
7154.9 |
|
| Limit the Loss? | You could choose to leave your bet open or close it, i.e. close your position to limit your loss. In this instance you choose to settle your bet by selling at 7139.7p. |
| Your P&L = | (Settlement Price - Initial Price) x stake |
| (7139.7p - 7230.1p) x £2 per penny |
| -90.4p x £2 per penny |
| Your P&L = | -£180.80 loss |
Spread Trading Example - Selling Next
Financial spread trading on the equity to move lower
| You Choose Whether to Go Long or Short |
Next going:
Above 7230.1p? or
Below 7214.9p?
|
| Let's Assume You Want to Sell |
Below 7214.9p |
| You Decide How Much to Risk, Selecting | £3 per penny |
| What Happens Next? |
- Your spread bet loses £3 for each penny Next moves higher than 7214.9p
- You will make a profit of £3 for each penny Next falls lower than 7214.9p
|
| When Spread Betting on a Market to Fall Your P&L = | (Initial Price - Settlement Price) x stake |
| | |
| Example 3 |
| Next moves lower and the spread trading market is revised and moved to 7142.1p - 7157.3p. I.e. the market moves to: |
|
7142.1 |
|
7157.3 |
|
| Time to Lock in Your Profit? | You can decide to keep your bet open or close it, i.e. close your position to lock in your profit. In this example you decide to settle your trade and buy the market at 7157.3p. |
| Your P&L = | (Initial Price - Settlement Price) x stake |
| (7214.9p - 7157.3p) x £3 per penny |
| 57.6p x £3 per penny |
| Your P&L = | £172.80 profit |
| | |
| Example 4 |
| Next pushes higher and the spread betting market becomes 7251.1p - 7266.3p, therefore Financial Spreads would show: |
|
7251.1 |
|
7266.3 |
|
| Limit Your Loss? | At this point, you may choose to leave your position open or close it, i.e. close your trade to limit your losses. For this example, you opt to close your position by buying at 7266.3p. |

| Your P&L = | -£154.20 loss |
