Trading WPP – An Example
Let’s say you like the WPP range, you think it’s heading back up to 910p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of WPP using a CFD, at the current price of 875p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume WPP rises back to highs of 910p (+4%). Your profit would be £400, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 2% from the current price. WPP falls 2% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
