• The subscriber can choose to trade the suggestion as per our recommendation and would either log in to their platform or call their CFD Provider to action the trade.
  

Reason for Trade suggestion

• The daily RIO chart reveals the break out through the down-sloping resistance line yesterday on a bullish gap.
• There has been moderate follow through today, albeit the price has come off its session highs during afternoon trade following softer retail sales data released locally.
• The price has now surpassed the 14-day MA line and the stochastics when read in conjunction with the break above the MA line, reaffirms the change in trend.
• In addition the RSI has regained a mark above 50, which should see it advance further.
• With the USD remaining under extreme pressure, it bodes well for the present commodity price strength to continue over the near term.
• Both the EUR and AUD reached 12-month highs overnight, which will spur further interest in metal stocks over coming sessions.

Exit:

On the 17th September 2009, @ around 11 am. RIO’s share price was $61.40 and our Resource Analyst attained an “exit” signal. This is a 5.7% gain in the share price.

Profit Calculations:

CFD Providers provide different leverage levels in relation to share CFDs, though the majority of them deliver 10 X leverage to 20 X leverage on your investment.

Based upon 20 X leverage and the trader trading $20,000 position size, the margin required to enter the trade is just $1,000 (5% deposit).

The share trade, without leverage, yielded a $3.32 or 5.7% profit over 6 trading days.

NOTE: The cost of brokerage and the interest-rate component on the borrowed amount differs from CFD Provider to CFD Provider. As such, we do not take into account those variables. In addition, the leverage levels for individual stocks can vary amongst the providers. 

Basic points:

• The share CFD price moves in tandem with the underlying share price.
  
• Leverage is attained may vary from CFD provider to CFD provider, though typically deposits of between 5 – 10% (leverage of 10 x to 20 times) are taken on core blue chip stocks for ASX CFDs.
  
• As the degree of leverage you undertake will vary depending upon your own circumstances (risk profile and capital available to trade), we will provide a general guide as to trade size to assist Members in generating their own capital management plans.
