JMI Brokers is proud to offer a wide range of the most traded US & EU Stock CFDs, with a leverage of up to 1:5 and zero commissions*. Stock trading involves the buying and selling of shares in a particular asset or company. A stock trader will purchase shares, own them, then sell them, depending on the market value of the stock. Stock CFDs, on the other hand, allow you to trade the price movements of a particular asset or company, without the purchase of the physical shares themselves. With stock CFDs on MetaTrader4, traders can open a long (buy) position if the belief is that the value of the stock will go up, or a short (sell) position, if the belief is that the value of a stock will go down.

How to Calculate your Profit or Loss

The formula for working out your profit or loss for any CFD share is as follows:
Long: (Buying) profit or loss = (exit price â€“ entry price) * lots traded
Short: (Selling) profit or loss = (entry price â€“ exit price) * lots traded

01
Example A:

1. You decide to buy 100 AAPL CFDs at $45 ,

2. The share price rises to $50 based on the companyâ€™s quarterly earnings.

3. You sell 100 AAPL CFDs at $50

4. Using the formula above for a long trade:

5. Profit or loss = (exit price â€“ entry price) * lots traded

6. The result would be +$500
Example A:

1. You decide to sell 5 Amazon CFDs at $1,900 as you are expecting the price to fall.

2. However, the price goes up based on increasing company sales.

3. Therefore, you decide to close your position at the price of $1,919.

4. Using the formula above for a short trade:

5. Profit or loss = (entry price â€“ exit price ) * lots traded

6. The result would be -$95.

Corporate Actions Formula
1. The basic formula used is d = p x n

2. d = dividend

3. p = position

4. n = dividend declared/number of index points (dividend amount)

5. Hereâ€™s the calculation we use for the dividend for equities:

6. A client opens a long (buy) position on 10,000 CFD shares of Apple (AAPL.OQ), with a net dividend declared at 2p.
The calculation is:

1. d = 10,000 x 0.02 = $200 (credited).

2. Another example we can look at is that a client opens a short (sell) position on 5,000 CFD shares of Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), with a net dividend declared at 5p.
