Why Trade Indices?

A stock market index is both a benchmarking tool and a financial instrument that derives its value from a collection of underlying stocks.

The companies which form an index are selected based on various criteria, such as market capitalisation, average daily trading volume and are categorised based on region, industry, and the exchange where shares are traded. How the value of an index is calculated varies depending on the rules set by the index creator. For example, the S&P500 Indexwas created by Standard and Poor’s measures the performance of 505 companies. The constituents are selected by a committee and are listed on exchanges in the U.S. The price of an index reflects the performance of an industry or an entire stock market. Indices are also tradable instruments offered by derivative brokers like FxMarkets Trade

* Risk Warning: Trading in forex and CFDs could lead to a loss of your invested capital.

The Benefits Of Trading Indices CFDs

Trading indices using Contracts for Difference (CFDs) offers many benefits compared to other methods of speculating on the stock market.

Less volatile than investing in a single stock
Indices consist of dozens and even hundreds of stocks which means if one stock or even an entire sector falls in value, the rest of the stocks within the index will help limit the effect.
Instant cash settlement when you close positions
With CFDs, your margin plus and profit or loss is available in your trading account the moment you close a position, allowing you to trade other products immediately.
Go long or short and hedge your positions
When using CFDs, you’re able to open short positions and potentially benefit when prices fall. With hedging, you’re able to go long and short concurrently to increase the chance of protecting your positions.
A lower-cost way to speculate on the stock market
When you purchase stocks, fees need to be paid to the exchange, clearinghouse, custodial, and broker. Trading CFDs doesn’t involve physical ownership and therefore reduces transaction costs.
Easier to analyse
Compared to other markets, such as forex, Indices are relatively easier to analyse and build a trading strategy around due them being localised to specific sectors and locations.
Indices can be traded at any time of the day
Unlike stocks, which can only be traded during fixed hours each day, Indices are available to trade almost twenty-four hours per day, five days a week.
