Safer Than Individual Stocks

Indices measures the change in price of a particular group of stocks over time. The most common examples are tech companies and other publicly traded companies. They allow trading of one value of many companies as a single product. Indices are generally considered safer than trading individual stocks as there is no single company that can significantly influence the overall price of the index.

Indices CFD Trading FAQ

The Forex market is highly volatile compare to index CFD. Prediction of the movements of a single currency pair can be influenced by numerous factors. On the contrary, when trading indices, only prediction of broad movements of a certain stock market is require, which is less volatile. Indices trading may be more suitable for long-term traders. On the flip side, Forex trading tends to be more convenient for short-term traders who prefer to profit from small price changes. Forex trading has the higher leverage – 1:400. Indices are traded with leverage up to 1:100. Please keep in mind that it is better to choose trading instruments depending on your trading strategy, level of knowledge, understanding of the particular market, and risk tolerance.

The major difference between index CFDs and share trading is that with a CFD, you never actually own the physical asset or financial instrument Instead, you speculate on the market price of the asset and benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if the opposite happens. With share trading, you own the asset.

As CFDs are a leveraged trading product, the major benefit is the margin, you’re only required to deposit a small percentage of the full value of the trade in order to open a position. With share trading, you must purchase the shares for the full amount.

We work with a huge number of liquidity providers, all of which are major financial institutions.

Indices trading is considered a relatively secure form of trading as compare to other CFDs, especially for a long-term investment, as risk is spread across an entire segment of stocks as opposed to a single stock.

However, all investment comes with risk, for indices CFDs, it can go up or down for a variety of reasons and unfavourable price movements can lead to losses. Vice versa, huge profits can be made from Indices CFD trading.
