Trading Wizz Air – An Example

Let’s say you think that Wizz Air shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Wizz Air using a CFD, at the current price of 3007p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Wizz Air share price rises to July high of 3809p (+26.6%). Your profit would be £2660 from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 8% from the current price. Wizz Air shares continue their downtrend, they fall 8% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £800.
