Trading Tullow Oil– An Example

Let’s say the breakout appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue to 273p . You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Tulllow using a CFD, at the current price 213p (at time of writing). To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Tulllow trend continues upwards to 273p Oct highs (+28.1%). Your profit would be £2810, 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.  Tulllow breaks lower, falling 5% and it hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
