Trading Sainsbury – 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 Sainsbury using a CFD, at the current price of 291p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume the Sainsbury trend continues to 320p late Nov highs (+9.9%). Your profit would be £990, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 4% from the current price. Sainsbury falls 4% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £400.
