Financial Spread Betting on UnitedHealth
As an example, let's suppose that you sign into FinancialSpreads and the live price is:
| UnitedHealth Rolling Cash |
Sell
10926.0 |
|
Buy
10934.0 |
|
Here's a brief guide to how the market works.
| The Spread Betting Market: | UnitedHealth Rolling Cash |
| Price (Spread): | 10926.0¢ - 10934.0¢ |
| How the Spread Works: | Now you can take a position on the UnitedHealth Rolling Cash market going:
 Above 10934.0¢, or
 Below 10926.0¢
This spread betting market is a 'Rolling' market meaning that it does not have a closing date. If you haven't closed your position and the trading session ends then your trade will roll over into the next session.
Note that if a trade is rolled over then you will either be charged or receive a small fee for overnight financing depending on whether you are betting on the market to move lower or higher. For further details also see Rolling Spread Betting. |
| Points (Units) Traded: | Spread bets on the UnitedHealth market are priced in £x per cent price movement.
E.g. if UnitedHealth changes by 30.0¢ then you would lose / win 30 multiples of your stake. |
| Stake Size: | You work out how much you want to risk per cent, e.g. £2 per cent, £8 per cent, £15 per cent etc. |
| Simplified Trading Example: | As an example, if you went with a stake of £4 per cent and UnitedHealth moves by 21.0¢, you would gain or lose £4 per cent x 21.0¢ = £84. |
