Trading Plus500 – An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue towards 696p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Plus500 using a CFD, at the current price of 604p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Plus500 trend continues to close the gap at 696p (+15.2%). Your profit would be £1520, 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. Plus500 breaks lower, falling 5% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
