Markets
One ticket. The whole market.
An index is hundreds of companies in a single number. With index CFDs you trade the direction of entire economies, long or short, without buying a single share.

Macro trends, in one line
Rates, inflation, growth surprises, the whole picture at once. Indices respond to macro before single stocks show it, and they move with the tide rather than any single boat.
They also soften single-company shocks: one member melts down, the basket shrugs. Lower noise, same participation.
Index questions
Short answers to what traders ask most. Anything else, our team is a message away.
Why trade an index instead of single stocks?
One position spreads exposure across an entire market, reducing single-company risk while keeping full participation in the trend.
How is an index price built?
From the weighted performance of its member companies, quoted continuously against the cash market.
Can I trade indices outside equity hours?
Yes, index CFDs quote for longer sessions than the underlying exchanges.
What moves an index?
Macro data, central bank policy, sector rotation and the heavyweight members inside the basket.
Can I hedge a stock portfolio with an index?
Yes, shorting the relevant index CFD in one ticket replaces a dozen individual short positions.
