A group or basket of stocks are called an ‘index’ or ‘indices’. Indices are a measurement of the value (and pricing) of a specific section of the stock market, which allow traders to speculate on entire sectors at once. Grouping selected stocks or assets into an index creates a cost-effective mechanism for trading on a sector’s performance - i.e. opening a single position to trade on the entire UK100 - which tracks the 100 largest companies on the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
You can also trade on forex indices like ‘DXY’ which tracks the performance of USD weighted against major currencies from across the world.
Rather than directly purchasing stocks within an index, CFD indices trading involves entering into a contract with a broker to exchange the difference in the price of an index from the time the contract is opened to when it is closed. You can take long (buy) or short (sell) positions on these CFDs, which allows you to potentially profit from both upward and downward movements in the index prices.
In addition, you can trade CFD indices using leverage. This means traders can control larger positions with a relatively small amount of capital, which can amplify both potential profits and losses.
We offer commission-free rolling major and minor stock market indices from around the world including AUS200 (Australia roll), China50, EU50 (Europe roll), DE30 (Germany roll), FR40 (France roll), HK50 (Hong Kong roll), India50, JP225 (Japan roll), ES35 (Spain roll), UK100 (United Kingdom roll) and US rolls like US500, UT100 and US30.
Yes, we offer margin-free hedging where any hedged positions are set to ‘zero’. This means you do not need a margin to maintain the position which will show your net position equal to zero. This allows you to benefit from more available funds, but it can also pose the risk of triggering ‘margin call’ or ‘stop out' events when sudden spread widening (eg. during news releases).
Please consider rolling fees over weekends in your financial planning as margin-free hedged positions are not swap-free - unless you are trading on a swap-free account.
