Let’s say the trend appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Land Securities using a CFD, at the current price of 907p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Land Securities trend continues to summer ’18 highs of 965p (+6.4%). Your profit would be £640, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 3% from the current price. Land Securities falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
