For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Glencore share price rises by 10% following the news. Your profit would be £1000, 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. Glencore shares fall back 4% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £400
