Trade Global Indices

Trade the performance of entire stock markets including UK 100, US 500, US Tech 100,
and Germany 40. Indices reflect the overall health of an economy or sector, making them ideal for
broader market exposure with a single position.

Indices Overview

What are indices, and how to trade them

An index tracks the collective performance of a basket of shares, typically representing a specific market, region, or sector. For example, the US 500 measures 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States, while the Germany 40 captures the leading firms on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. When you trade an index, you are speculating on the overall movement of that market rather than betting on individual company performance. This provides instant diversification and makes indices a popular choice for traders seeking broad exposure without the need to research dozens of individual stocks. Indices can be traded via CFDs or Spread bets, giving you the flexibility to go long or short depending on your market outlook and access to 24-hour trading on major global benchmarks.

Indices Benefits & Risks

Key Benefits of Trading Indices

Exposure to multiple companies with one trade.

Instead of picking individual stocks, an index position gives you instant exposure to an entire market or sector, diversifying risk across dozens or hundreads of companies.

Less volatile than individual shares.

Index movements tend to be smoother than individual stock prices, as gains and losses across constituent companies offset each other, reducing short-term price swings.

Reflects economic and sector performance.

Indices respond to macroeconomic trends, central bank decisions, earning seasons, and geopolitical events, making them ideal for traders who analyze broader market conditions.

Available 24 hours on major indices.

Trade key benchmarks around the clock, including out-of-hours sessions, allowing you to react to global news and manage positions across time zones.

Key Risks of Trading Indices

Market Wide Downturns can Affect Entire Index Value.

Since indices represent broad markets, a general downturn impacts the entire basket. You can't isolate youreself from sector-wide or economic risks.

Less Control Over Individual Company Performance.

Strong performance by a single company may be iluted across the broader index. You're exposed to the collective movement, not individual stock stories.

Leverage Can Amplify Both Gains and Losses.

Trading indices with leverage magnifies yur exposure. While this increases profit potential, it also heightens risk if the market moves against your position.

Economic Events Can Cause Significant Volatility

Central bank announcements, GDP releases, inflation data, and geopolitical shocks can trigger sharp index movements, increasing short-term risk.
