Trading Crest Nicholson – An Example

Let’s say you feel that the stock is a bargain and you think it could bounce back to recent highs of 398p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Crest Nicholson using a CFD, at the current price of 300p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Crest Nicholson recovers back to 398p (+32.6%). Your profit would be £3,260, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 10% from the current price. Crest Nicholson falls 10% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £1,000.
