Trading Informa – An Example

Let’s say you like the Informa chart and you think the price is heading back towards 802p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Informa using a CFD, at the current price of 710p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Informa rises back to 802p (+12.9%). Your profit would be £1290, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 6% from the current price. Informa falls 6% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £600.
