Trading Next – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue towards 6200p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Next using a CFD, at the current price of 5453p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Next  trend continues to highs of 6200p (+13.6%). Your profit would be £1360, 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. Next breaks lower, falling 5% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
