Trading Sainsbury – An Example

Let’s say you think that Sainsbury results are likely to be good, and the share price is likely to rise. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Sainsbury using CFDs, at the current price of 221p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume Sainsbury reports strong results and the shares rise 10%. Your profit would be £1,000, from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the position, and place a stop-loss 5% from the current price. Sainsbury results miss, it falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
