6 Example 3: How you can lose more than what s in your account over 1 day In this example a small mining stock is trading at 20 cents and you have read favourable reports about the stock and decide to buy $10,000 worth of stock with the Initial Margin required from the CFD provider being $2000 (20%). Previous to taking out the trade you have no open positions and an account balance of $4000 Open Position Buy Quantity 50,000 Price $0.20 Contract Value $10,000 Initial Margin $2,000 Commission 0.30% $30 Sell Quantity 50,000 Price $0.04 Contract Value $2, Commission 0.03% or $10.00 $10.00 Gross Profit/Loss $10, $2, $8, Commission (Sold & Bought) ($30.00) ($12) ($40) Financing cost RBA Cash rate 5.25% + 3%) 10,000 x 8.25% x 1/ Net Loss $8, (1000) 0.21 Example However, after the close of business that day a mine accident occured as a result of their only mine collapsing. After accessing the trading platform the following day you are shocked to find that the stock price is 4 cents and that your stock has been forcibily sold at the opening price. As the stock has lost 60% of its value your Equity in the CFD immediately went into default and was closed out. As the loss was $8, (the CFD transaction and costs) which is greater than what was was in your account prior to the trade, you are now in deficit to the amount of $4, and thus owe this money to the CFD provider (2500) (-8000) 10:30 AM 11:30 AM 12:30 PM 1:30 PM 2:30 PM 3:30 PM 4:30 PM Openning price Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Wednesday In this example we have assumed no increase or decrease in initial margin requirements. 6 Halifax Trading Examples
