Indices Trading

The Most Innovative way to Trade Groups of Publicly Traded Companies

What are Indices?

A financial index is composed of public companies traded on a particular stock exchange, or drawn from a particular field. The index calculates the collective market performance of all its component companies and publishes the figures. Indices are seen as accurate barometers of market sentiment as well as the strength of an economy. It is possible to open CFD trades on the market performance of several indices, investing in the points change in their values.

There are many prominent indices, as well as less familiar ones from emerging markets available at X-Finance Corp. Some of the biggest indices include the FTSE 100, S&P 500, NASDQ-100 and DAX. When traded as CFDs, indices generally perform in a similar way to stocks.

The Basic Principles of Indices Trading

Indices trading is like any other form of transaction. The goal is to buy Indices at a low price and sell them at a high price.

For example:

You buy 10 x DAX 30 units at $12,162.47 per unit (using our leverage). After 1 week you sell your DAX 30 units and earn a profit of $230.7.

How is that possible?

A week after you opened your position, DAX 30 was quoted at $12,185.54 (Bid price) to 12,187.99 (Ask price). You bought 10 units and paid $121,624.7.
You sold the 10 stocks and got $121,855.4.
You earned $230.7.
