What is indices trading?
Indices CFD trading is a way to take a position on the price movements of stock market indices. This allows you to trade based on overall market performance.
Why trade indices?
You’ll gain exposure to entire markets, rather than individual stocks, plus enjoy competitive spreads, leverage³ and the flexibility to go long or short, all without owning the underlying assets.
How to trade indices
Choose an index, analyse market trends, and decide whether to go long (buy) or short (sell). Set your trade size, then open your position. Monitor price movements and close the trade when you’re ready.
