Trading BAE Systems – An Example

Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back down towards 441p again. You decide to sell exposure to £10,000 worth of BAE Systems using a CFD, at the current price of 493p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume BAE Systems falls to 441p (-10%). Your profit would be £1000, 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. BAE Systems rises 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
