Trading BP – An Example
Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading towards 583p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of BP using a CFD, at the current price of 519p. To do this, you need £2,000.
Let’s assume BP rises to 583p (+10%). 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 3% from the current price. BP falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
