Trading BT – An Example

Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards 268p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of BT using a CFD, at the current price of 234p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume BT rises back to 268p (+14.5%). Your profit would be £1450, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 5% from the current price. BT falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
