Trading Playtech – An Example

Let’s say you feel that the stock is a bargain and you think could bounce back towards recent high of 415p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Playtech using a CFD, at the current price of 365p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Playtech recovers back to 415p last week’s highs (+13.6%). Your profit would be £1360, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 6% from the current price. Playtech falls 6% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £600.
