Trading RBS – An Example

Let’s say you like the RBS range, you think it’s heading back towards 250p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of RBS using a CFD, at the current price of 218.4p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume RBS rises back to 250p (+14.5%). Your profit would be £1450, 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. RBS falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
