Trading WPP – An Example

Let’s say you like the WPP range, you think it’s heading back up to 880p again. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of WPP using a CFD, at the current price of 815p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume WPP rises back to 880p (+8.0%). Your profit would be £800, 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. WPP falls 3% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
