Trading Unilever – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Unilever using a CFD, at the current price of 4373p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Unilever trend continues to 4494p late-Aug highs (+2.7%). Your profit would be £270, 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. Unilever breaks lower, falling 2% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
