Trading Hunting – An Example
Let’s say you think that Hunting results are likely to be good, and the price is likely to rise. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Hunting using a CFD, at the current price of 521p. To do this, you need £2,000.
For the purpose of this example, let’s assume Hunting reports strong results and the share price rises by 10%. Your profit would be £1,000, 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. Hunting results miss, it falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
