Trading Informa – An Example

Let’s say you think that Informa shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Informa using a CFD, at the current price of 736p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Informa share price rises to 868p July 2018 highs (+17.9%). Your profit would be £1790 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. Informa shares fall 6% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £600.
