Trading Hikma Pharma – An Example

Let’s say you feel that the stock is a bargain and you think could bounce back towards 110p. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Hikma Pharma using a CFD, at the current price of 1579p. To do this, you need £2,000.

Let’s assume Hikma Pharma recovers back to 1755p last week’s highs (+11.1%). Your profit would be £1110, 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. Hikma Pharma falls 5% and hits your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
