Trading Premier Oil – An Example

Let’s say you like the Premier Oil chart and you think the price is heading back towards 147p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Premier Oil using a CFD, at the current price of 104p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Premier Oil rises back to 147p (+41.3%). Your profit would be £4130, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 9% from the current price. Premier Oil falls 9% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £900.
