Let’s assume GlaxoSmithKline rises back to 1597p (+4.9%). Your profit would be £490, from your initial investment of £2,000.

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