Trading Tesco – An Example
Let’s say you like the Tesco chart and you think the price is heading back towards 245p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Tesco using a CFD, at the current price of 222p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume Tesco rises back to 245p Sept ’18 highs (+10.3%). Your profit would be £1030, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 4% from the current price. Tesco falls 4% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £400.
