Trading Micro Focus – An Example

Let’s say you like the Micro Focus range, you think it’s heading back up to 1700p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Micro Focus using a CFD, at the current price of 1533p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Micro Focus rises back to 1700p (+10.8%). Your profit would be £1080, 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. Micro Focus falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
