Trading United Utilities – An Example

Let’s say you like the range, you think it’s heading back towards 900p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of United Utilities using a CFD, at the current price of 824p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume United Utilities rises to 900p (+9.2%). Your profit would be £920, 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. United Utilities falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
