Trading Land Securities – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue towards 999p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Land Securities using a CFD, at the current price of 907p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Land Securities trend continues to highs of 999p (+10.1%). Your profit would be £1010, 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. Land Securities breaks lower, falling 3% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
