Trading ITV – An Example

Let’s say you feel that the stock is a bargain and you think it could bounce back to recent highs of 140p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of ITV using a CFD, at the current price of 111p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume ITV recovers back to 140p (+26.1%). Your profit would be £2610, 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. ITV falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
