Trading Sports Direct– An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue towards 348p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Sports Direct using a CFD, at the current price of 283p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Sports Direct trend continues to highs of 348p (+22.9%). Your profit would be £2290, 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. Sports Direct breaks lower, falling 5% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
