Mark,
This is how the typical CFDs work.
If I buy 1,000 shares of Stock A at $10/share, I pay the broker $1,000 (instead of $10,000). The next day, if my stock value drops to $9, then I need to pay the broker $900 more. When I sell, if the stock price is $11, then the broker credits my account $1,000.
So, my investment return need to be adjusted for the extra margin that I deposit with the broker in case the stock price drops.
I also want the ability to monitor gross and net exposure (gross is $10,000 and net is $1,000; initially).
Is it possible to do this with Fund Manager software?
Thanks.
