Trading Evraz – An Example

Let’s say you like the Evraz range, you think it’s heading back towards 496p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Evraz using a CFD, at the current price of 460p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Evraz rises back to 496p (+7.8%). Your profit would be £780, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 3% from the current price. Evraz falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
