Trading United Utilities – 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 United Utilities using a CFD, at the current price of 838p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume United Utilities trend continues to 879p (+4.8%). Your profit would be £480, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 2% below the current price. United Utilities falls 2% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £200.
