Trading IAG – An Example
Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards 566p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of IAG using a CFD, at the current price of 540p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume IAG recovers back to 566p (+4.8%). Your profit would be £480, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss 2% from the current price. IAG falls 2% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
