Trading Auto Trader – An Example

Let’s say the trend appeals to you, you think it’s likely to continue. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Auto Trader using a CFD, at the current price of 578p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Auto Trader trend continues to 650p (+12.4%). Your profit would be £1240, 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. Auto Trader falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
