Trading LSE – An Example
Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards 4800p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of LSE using a CFD, at the current price of 4580p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume LSE recovers back to 4800p (+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% below the current price. LSE falls 2% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
