For the purpose of this example, let’s assume Ocado 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. Ocado results miss, it falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
