Breakeven point definition

In trading, the breakeven point is the price level at which a trader neither makes a profit nor incurs a loss on a trade. At the breakeven point, there is a net profit of zero as the total gains is equivalent to the total losses. It is at the point at which the market price of an asset, such as a stock, currency, or commodity, is equal to the purchase price, plus any associated trading costs such as fees or commissions.

The breakeven point serves as a useful tool for investors to assess the risk-reward ratio of their trades. It can also be helpful for traders to determine the minimum price level required to make a profit.

 

An example of a breakeven point

A trader buys a stock at $10 per share and spends an additional $1 per share on the associated trading costs, making the total cost of each share $11. The breakeven point would then be $11 per share. If the price of the stock rises to $12 per share, the trader would make a profit of $1 per share, while if the price of the stock falls to $9 per share, they would incur a loss of $1 per share and $2 in total, including the trading fees they have paid to open and close the trade.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
