Trading Tesco – An Example
Let’s say you think that Tesco results are likely to be good, and the share price is likely to rise. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Tesco using CFDs, at the current price of 236p. To do this, you need £2,000.
For the purpose of this example, let’s assume Tesco reports strong results and the shares rise 10%. Your profit would be £1000, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the position, and place a stop-loss 3% below the current price. Tesco results miss, it falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
