You believe the price of Coffee CFD will rise so you take a buy position with a trade size of 50,000 lbs, ($25 per tick; tick size is 0.05), at the offer price of 270.80 cents per lb.
Unfortunately, the price fell, and at around 12:30 GMT, the price of Coffee CFD was at 266.50 (bid) – 266.80 (offer).
