Trading London Stock Exchange – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue to 5500p . You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of LSE using a CFD, at the current price 5260(at time of writing). To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the LSE trend continues upwards to a new record highs of 5500p (+4.5%). Your profit would be £450, 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. LSE breaks lower, falling 2% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
