Trading Lloyds – An Example
Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards 65p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Lloyds using a CFD, at the current price of 62.p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume Lloyds rises to 65p (+5%). Your profit would be £500, from your initial investment of £2,000.
Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 2.5% from the current price. Lloyds falls 2.5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £250.
