Trading Drax – An Example

Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards 427p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Drax using a CFD, at the current price of 380p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Drax rises to 427p (+12.3%). Your profit would be £1230, 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. Drax falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
