Trading Ashmore – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue to 427p . You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Ashmore using a CFD, at the current price 380p (at time of writing). To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Ashmore trend continues upwards to 427p Apr highs (+12.4%). Your profit would be £1240, 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. Ashmore breaks lower, falling 5% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
