Let’s assume John Wood trend continues to 786p. Your profit would be £522, 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, at 747p. John Wood falls 4% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £400.
