Trading ASOS – An Example

Let’s say you think that ASOS shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of ASOS using a CFD, at the current price of 3033p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the ASOS share price rises to 3277p (+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. ASOS shares fall 3% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £300.
