Trading Shell A– An Example

Let’s say you think that Shell A shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Shell A using a CFD, at the current price of 2464p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Shell A share price rises to 2700p (+9.6%). Your profit would be £960 from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 5% from the current price. Shell A shares fall 5% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500
