Notes on individual shares
The quote spread will be based on the natural market bid offer. The price is adjusted for dividends (which are not paid on spread bets), funding costs and paddypowertrader's spread.
On expiry of equity bets of less than £100 a penny/cent movement and/or of less than £30,000 total underlying contract value (i.e. a £100 bet on £1.00 share would have a contract value of £10,000), whichever is the least, the settlement price will be based on the closing bid or offer price of the contract plus or minus half paddypowertrader's spread on that contract depending on the client position. For example, if the client has a long position on expiry, the settlement price will be the bid of the share in the market at expiry time minus half the spread. If the client has a short position on expiry, the settlement price will be the offer of the share in the market at expiry plus half the spread.
On expiry of equity bets of greater than £100 per penny/cent movement and/or of total contract value greater than £30,000, paddypowertrader shall settle the bet at either the average bid/offer spread of the underlying share in the last hour of trading of the last dealing day plus or minus the relevant paddypowertrader's spread, or at the price achieved by paddypowertrader in removing its hedge on the relevant bet during the course of the final business day of the relevant expiry date plus or minus the relevant paddypowertrader's spread, or at the normal expiry terms as stated in the above section ii)
Rollover terms are available with paddypowertrader on all markets other than Binary Markets, including quarterly bets on individual shares. To avail yourself of rollover concessions for quarterly bets on individual shares you must indicate to paddypowertrader at least 45 minutes before the expiry of the relevant contract that you wish to roll.
For Quarterly Bets on Individual Shares paddypowertrader will expire the existing bet at the underlying market price and offer the subsequent quarter at the current paddypowertrader quote.
Please note that:
i) paddypowertrader closes the existing bet on rollover of futures contracts and subsequently opens a new bet on the next month/quarter.
ii) Any profits or losses incurred are realised on rollover of futures contracts.
More information about rolling bets is available from the Rolling Daily Bets Guide.
