Trading BT – An Example

Let’s say you feel that the stock is a bargain and you think could bounce back towards 268p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of BT using a CFD, at the current price of 233p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume BT recovers back to this week’s highs of 268p (+15%). Your profit would be £1500, 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. BT falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
