Trading William Hill – An Example

Let’s say you think that William Hill shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth using a CFD, at the current price of 155p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the share price rises to recent highs of 168p (+8.4%). Your profit would be £840 from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 3% from the current price. William Hill shares break lower, they fall 3% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
