Trading G4S – An Example

Let’s say the trend appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of G4S using a CFD, at the current price of 196.5p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the G4S trend continues to 225p late October highs (+14.5%). Your profit would be £1450, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 5% from the current price. G4S falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
