Trading Standard Chartered – An Example

Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards575p again. You decide to sell exposure to £10,000 worth of Standard Chartered using a CFD, at the current price of 641p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Standard Chartered drops to 575p (-11%). Your profit would be £1,100, 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. Standard Chartered rises 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
