Trading Just Eat – An Example

Let’s say you think that Just Eat shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Just Eat using a CFD, at the current price of 590p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Just Eat share price rises to 673p (+14%). Your profit would be £1400 from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 8% from the current price. Just Eat shares continue their downtrend, they fall 8% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £800.
