Trading BP – An Example
Let’s say you like the BP chart and you think the price is heading back towards 581p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of BP using a CFD, at the current price of 541p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume BP rises back to 581p highs (+7.3%). Your profit would be £730, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 2% from the current price. BP falls 2% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
