Let’s assume Royal Mail recovers back to 286p recent highs (+12.1%). Your profit would be £1210, 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. Royal Mail falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
