You can speculate on the US SPX 500 Rolling Cash market to go:
Above 2093.2, or
Below 2092.9
This is a 'Rolling' trade which means that there is no final closing date. If you don't close your trade and the session ends then your trade will roll over to the next trading day.
If a trade rolls over then you will either be charged or receive interest for overnight financing depending on the direction of your bet. For further information see Rolling Spread Bets .
Bets on the US SPX 500 market are made in £x per 0.1 points.
Where 0.1 points is 0.1 points of the stock index's price movement.
E.g. if the US SPX 500 moves 5.0 points then you would lose/win 50 multiples of your stake.
You decide how much you are going to risk per 0.1 points, e.g. £3 per 0.1 points, £4 per 0.1 points, £10 per 0.1 points etc.
If, as an example, you chose a stake of £4 per 0.1 points and the US SPX 500 changes by 2.1 points, you would win/lose £4 per 0.1 points x 2.1 points = £84.
The US SPX 500 moving:
Above 2093.2? or
Below 2092.9?
You Choose Your Stake Size, Let's Assume You Select:
You make a gain of £1 for each 0.1 points the US SPX 500 moves above 2093.2
You lose £1 for every 0.1 points the US SPX 500 decreases below 2093.2
When Buying a Spread Bet Your Trading Profits (or Losses) =
(Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
The US SPX 500 rises and the market is adjusted to 2106.0 - 2106.3:
You can choose to let your position run or close it and take a profit. In this case you opt to close your trade by selling the market at 2106.0.
(Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
(2106.0 - 2093.2) x £1 per 0.1 points
The US SPX 500 moves lower and the financial spread betting market is moved to 2078.5 - 2078.8. So you would see this on Financial Spreads:
You could choose to let your bet run or close it, i.e. close your trade to limit your losses. In this instance you opt to settle your trade and sell at 2078.5.
(Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
(2078.5 - 2093.2) x £1 per 0.1 points
You Now Choose to Go Long or Short:
The US SPX 500 to move:
Above 2093.2? or
Below 2092.9?
You Choose How Much to Risk, Selecting:
You lose £2 for every 0.1 points the US SPX 500 increases higher than 2092.9
You make a gain of £2 for every 0.1 points the US SPX 500 goes lower than 2092.9
If You Are Spread Betting on a Market to Go Down Your Trading Profits (or Losses) =
(Opening Price - Settlement Price) x stake
The US SPX 500 slips and the spread betting market moves to 2084.9 - 2085.2, i.e. the market moves to:
At this point, you may opt to keep your position open or close it, i.e. close your spread bet for a profit. In this instance you choose to close your bet by buying the market at 2085.2.
(Opening Price - Settlement Price) x stake
(2092.9 - 2085.2) x £2 per 0.1 points
The US SPX 500 moves higher and the spread trading market adjusts and moves to 2101.4 - 2101.7, i.e.
At this point, you could choose to let your bet run or close it in order to restrict your losses. In this example you decide to settle your bet and buy at 2101.7.
(Opening Price - Settlement Price) x stake
(2092.9 - 2101.7) x £2 per 0.1 points
Now you can speculate on the US SPX 500 futures market settling:
Higher than 2090.1, or
Lower than 2089.3
On the closing date for the March market, 20 March 2015.
This is a Futures market so the bet will close on the expiry date, although usually you can also close your trade, during market hours, before the expiry of the contract.
Note also that there are no daily financing fees on these futures markets.
Financial spread bets on the US SPX 500 futures market are made in £x per 0.1 points.
Where 0.1 points is 0.1 points of the stock market index's price movement.
E.g. if the US SPX 500 moves by 5.0 points then you would win/lose 50 times your stake.
You work out how much you are going to trade per 0.1 points, e.g. £2 per 0.1 points, £5 per 0.1 points, £15 per 0.1 points etc.
If, for example, your stake is £3 per 0.1 points and the US SPX 500 moves 3.3 points, you would gain or lose £3 per 0.1 points x 3.3 points = £99.
The US SPX 500 futures market to close:
Higher than 2090.1? or
Lower than 2089.3?
When the contract expires, 20 March 2015.
You Decide How Much to Risk, Choosing
You make a gain of £2 for each 0.1 points the US SPX 500 rises higher than 2090.1
You lose £2 for every 0.1 points the US SPX 500 goes lower than 2090.1
If You Are Spread Betting on a Market to Increase Your Profits/Losses =
(Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
The US SPX 500 rises and the financial spread betting market becomes 2096.9 - 2097.7, so you'd see:
You could decide to keep your trade open, letting it run to the settlement date, or close it, i.e. close your spread bet for a profit. In this example you decide to settle your bet and sell the market at 2096.9.
(Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
(2096.9 - 2090.1) x £2 per 0.1 points
At this point, you could choose to leave your trade open, letting it run to the settlement date, or close it and restrict your losses. In this example you opt to let your position run until the market expires. The contract finally closes at 2084.2.
(Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
(2084.2 - 2090.1) x £2 per 0.1 points
You Now Select Whether to Go Long or Short
The US SPX 500 to settle:
Higher than 2090.1? or
Lower than 2089.3?
When the contract is settled (expires), 20 March 2015.
You Choose Your Stake Size, Let's Say You Opt For
You lose £3 for every 0.1 points the US SPX 500 increases above 2089.3
You make a gain of £3 for every 0.1 points the US SPX 500 pushes below 2089.3
When Spread Betting on a Market to Go Down Your Profits/Losses =
(Opening Price - Settlement Price) x stake
The US SPX 500 futures market falls
You may opt to keep your position open, and possibly let it run to the settlement date, or close it, i.e. close your position to lock in a profit. In this example, you run it until expiry. The contract closes at 2084.2.
(Opening Price - Settlement Price) x stake
(2089.3 - 2084.2) x £3 per 0.1 points
The US SPX 500 climbs and the market is revised and set at 2092.9 - 2093.7. Therefore you would see:
At this point, you can choose to keep your position open and let it run to the expiry date or close it, i.e. close your position and limit your losses. For this example, you choose to close your position by buying the market at 2093.7.
(Opening Price - Settlement Price) x stake
(2089.3 - 2093.7) x £3 per 0.1 points

Spread bet to speculate on rising and falling market prices. Learn how to spread bet in six steps – covering everything from opening an account to making your first trade.
Start trading today. Call 0800 195 3100 or email newaccounts.uk@ig.com . We’re here 24 hours a day, from 8am Saturday to 10pm Friday.
Spread betting is a way to speculate on the future direction of a market’s price. If you expect an asset’s price to rise, you’d open a position to ‘buy’ and if you expect an asset’s price to fall, you’d opt to ‘sell’.
When you spread bet, you’ll be putting up a certain amount of capital per point of movement in the underlying market. Your profit and loss would then be multiplied by this amount to get your final sum.
For example, you thought a stock was going to increase in price so you opened a spread bet for £10 per point. If the stock increases in price by 10 points, you’d have made £100 (10 x 10), but if it decreased by 5 points, you’d lose £50 (50 x 100).
Spread betting is also leveraged, which means you’ll only need to put down a small initial deposit to open a trade. Your end total is then calculated using your full exposure – meaning your profits and losses could be magnified.

When you open your platform, you’ll be able to search for a market in the top left corner or browse through each asset class.
After you’ve opened the deal ticket for your chosen market, you’ll need to choose whether to buy or sell the market – depending on whether you think the asset will rise or fall in price. You’ll also need to decide on your bet size, which will determine the margin you pay.
Finally, before you enter the market, it’s important to consider how you’ll manage your risk . Attaching stops or limits to your position will automatically close your trade once it hits a certain level – a stop-loss order can minimise your potential loss, while a limit-close order can help lock in any profits.
Once you’re ready, it’s time to open your trade. You can then monitor the profit or loss of your position in the ‘open positions’ section of the dealing platform.
When you decide it’s time to close your position, you just click ‘close’ to realise your profit or loss.
Whichever market you’re interested in, it’s important to understand how much capital you’re putting at risk. For spread betting, the calculation for this is:
Capital at risk = bet size x market price (in points)
When you spread bet, the market price will be displayed in points. For example, if you were trading a forex pair, instead of a price of ‘1.12980’ you would see a price of ‘11298.0’. So, a trade worth £10 per point of movement, would mean you’re putting a total of £112,980 at risk (11298.0 x 10).
As spread betting is a leveraged product, you will only need to cover the margin as opposed to the full value of the trade. The spread betting calculation for margin is:
Margin = margin factor x total exposure.
For the above example, if the margin factor was 3.33%, you would only have to put down £3762.23 (3.33% x £112,980) to open the trade. Leverage could potentially magnify your profit and loss, as they’re calculated using the full size of your trade – in this case, £112,980 – not just the margin.
You decide to spread bet on Barclays stock, which is currently trading at 150.25. If there was a one-point spread, you would be presented with a buy price of 150.75 and a sell price of 149.75.
You open a long spread bet position on Barclays, buying at £10 per point of movement at 150.75. If Barclays shares had a margin requirement of 20%, you’d need to deposit £301.50 (£10 x 150.75 x 20%).
Let’s say Barclays shares increased to 170.75, you might decide to close your position to take your profit.
You’d close the spread bet position at the new sell price of 170.25. As the market has moved in your favour by 19.5 points (170.25 - 150.75), your profit would be £195 (19.5 x £10). You won’t pay any tax on your profits. However, you would have to pay funding charges to keep your position open overnight.
However, let’s say shares of Barclays fell instead, down to 130.25, there would be a new sell price of 129.75. As the market has moved against you by 21 points (129.75 - 150.75), you’d be looking at a loss of £210 (210 x £10), plus any additional funding charges.
You decide to spread bet on forex on EUR/USD, which is trading at £1.19129. You think that the dollar is going to rise against the euro, so you decide to sell the currency pair.
As spread betting markets are listed in points, when you enter the platform you would see a market price of 11912.9. And, because of the spread, you would see a sell price of 11912.6 and a buy price of 11913.2.
You open the trade for £15 per point at 11912.6 and as EUR/USD has a margin factor of 3.33%, you’d need to deposit £5950.35 (£15 x 11912.6 x 3.33%).
Say EUR/USD fell to 11890.1, with a buy price of 11890.4 and a sell price of 11889.8. As the market has moved by 22.2 points (11912.6 - 11890.4), you’d have a total profit of £333 (£15 x 22.2). Remember, if you’d kept this position open overnight then your total profit would be lower because of funding charges.
However, let’s say EUR/USD rises instead. So, you’d close your position at the new buy price of 11936.0. As the price has moved against you by 23.4 points (11912.6 - 11936.0), you would have made a loss of £351 (£15 x 23.4), plus any funding charges.
You want to spread bet on the FTSE 100, which has an underlying market value of 7114. We’ll apply a one-point spread, so you can sell it at 7113.5 or buy at 7114.5.
As you anticipate that the FTSE 100 is going to rise, you opt to buy at £10 per point at 7114.5. The FTSE 100 has a margin factor of 5%, you’d only need to deposit £3557.30 (£10 x 7114.5 x 5%).
Let’s say your prediction is correct and the FTSE 100 increases in value. You close your position when the market reaches 7150 – at the new sell price of 7149.5.
As the market moved in you favour by 35 points (7149.5 – 7114.5), your profit would be calculated by multiplying this figure by the amount you’ve bet per point. This gives you a profit of £350 (£10 x 35) minus any funding costs.
However, let’s say the FTSE declined in price, instead of rallying. So, you decide to cut your losses when it hits 7078 – with a sell price of 7077.5.
The market has moved against you by 37 points (7077.5 - 7114.5), giving you a loss of £370 (£10 x 37), plus any overnight funding charges if the position was open for more than one day.
You decide to spread bet on gold, which is currently trading at 1315.70, with a buy price of 1316.00 and a sell price of 1315.40. As you believe the price of gold is due to decline, you open a spread bet to sell the commodity for £30 per point of movement.
Gold has a margin factor of 5%, so you would need to put down £1973.10 (£30 x 1315.40 x 5%) to open the position.
Let’s say the price of gold did fall, down to a new price of 1300.10. You close your position at the new buy price of 1300.40.
As the market has moved in your favour by 15 points (1315.40 - 1300.40), you would be taking a profit of £450 (15 x £30). If you had kept your position open overnight, you would also have funding charges to pay.
However, if you were incorrect and the market price of gold rose instead, to 1335.70, you would have made a loss. You’d close your position, at the new buy price of 1335.40.
As the market has moved against you by 20 points (1315.40 - 1335.40), your total loss for the commodity spread bet would be £600 (20 x £30), plus any funding charges.
