Trading Unilever – An Example
Let’s say you like the Unilever chart and you think the price is heading back towards 4381p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Unilever using a CFD, at the current price of 4000p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume Unilever rises back to Dec highs of 4381p (+9.5%). Your profit would be £950, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 4% from the current price. Unilever falls 4% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £400.
