Trading Glencore – An Example

Let’s say you like the Glencore range, you think it’s heading back up to 343p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Glencore using a CFD, at the current price of 306p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Glencore rises back to April highs of 343p (+12%). Your profit would be £1200, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 3% from the current price. Glencore falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
