Trading Cobham – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue to 126p . You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Cobham using a CFD, at the current price 112p (at time of writing). To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Cobham trend continues upwards to 126p (+12.5%). Your profit would be £1250, 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. Cobham breaks lower, falling 5% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
