Frequently asked questions
What are indices?
Indices are a measure of a section of shares in the stock market, created by combining the value of several stocks to create one aggregate value.
How to trade on indices?
You can start trading on indices now by opening a live account. If you would like to practise your index trading strategy first, open a demo account to trade with virtual funds.
How does trading CFDs on indices work?
When you trade CFDs on indices on our platform, you don’t buy or sell the underlying index. Instead, you’re taking a position on whether you think the index will go up or down.
With CFD trading, you buy or sell a number of units for a particular instrument. For every point or unit that the price moves in your favour, you gain multiples of your stake, and vice versa.
While you can trade on leverage, your profits and losses are based on the full value of the trade.
