Trading Experian – An Example

Let’s say you think that Experian shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Experian using a CFD, at the current price of 2035p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Experian share price rises to 2350p (+15.4%). Your profit would be £1540 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. Experian shares fall 6% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £600
