Here is a Trading example presented by Andy Mallow:
You signed up and deposited $5,000 via MoneyBookers. Balance: $5000. (Deposits - Withdraws + P&L of closed positions) P&L = $0. (Total profit and loss of all open positions including daily premiums) Available Balance: $5000. (Balance + P&L of open positions - Initial Margins) Equity: $5000. (Balance + P&L of open positions).
You think that Google shares will fall soon, and decide to go 'Short' on Google.
5:07pm - you click 'Short' beside the 'Google' stock in the main lobby, the sell price is $290.
Your criteria are:
Number of Shares (CFDs): 100
Close at profit rate: $280 (profit will be 100*$10=$1000)
Close at loss rate: $310 (loss will be 100*$20=$2000)
The total amount you sold short are: 100*$290 = $29,000.
The Initial Margin that is needed for the Google shares is 10%: $2900.
The Maintenance Margin that is needed to maintain Google's position is 5%: $1450.
Your position is now: Balance: $5000 P&L = 0 (usually the spread of Google is 50 cents so you would have a P&L of -$50) Available Balance after you sold Google is: $2,100. ($5000 - 10%*$29,000 = $2,100) 'Equity': $5,000 ($5000 + $0)
9:05pm - Google climbs to $300. Balance: $5000 P&L: -$1000 (100*$290 - 100*$300) Available Balance: $1100 ($5000 - 10%*$29,000 -$1000= $1100) Equity: $4000 ($5000 - $1000)
You decide to cut your losses and buy Google - you press 'Close Position' in the main lobby (near your open position).
9:05pm - your market buy executes at $300. You lost $1,000 on the trade. Balance: $4000 P&L: 0 (no open positions) Available Balance: $4000 Equity: $4000
