A Guide to Spread Betting on Tesco

The Spread Betting Market:	Tesco Rolling Daily
The Spread Betting Quote:	402.1p - 402.7p
How the Market Works:	You can speculate on the Tesco Rolling Daily market moving:   Higher than 402.7p, or   Lower than 402.1p This market is a Rolling Daily market and so there is no expiry date for this spread bet. If you don't close your trade and the trading session ends then your trade will roll over to the next trading session. Note: if a trade rolls over then you will normally either receive or pay a small fee for overnight financing depending upon whether you are betting on the market to go down or up. For more information see Rolling Spread Bets.
Traded Units:	Trades on the Tesco market are priced in £x per penny. Where a penny is 1p of the UK share's price movement. E.g. if Tesco moves 35p then you would lose/win 35 times your stake.
Stake Size per Unit:	You choose how much you are going to trade per penny, e.g. £2 per penny, £4 per penny, £15 per penny etc.
Quick Example:	As an example, if you had a stake of £3 per penny and Tesco moves by 34p, you would win/lose £3 per penny x 34p = £102.
