Indices

You can trade a wide range of global indices including the US500, NAS100, UK100, DAX40 and more, covering the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific markets.

Index CFDs are available on MT4, MT5 and CXM Trader.

Leverage allows you to open larger positions with a smaller initial deposit, but it also increases risk and can magnify potential losses.

A stock index measures the combined performance of a basket of shares — for example, the S&P 500 tracks 500 of the largest US-listed companies. Trading an index gives you exposure to the broader market in a single instrument rather than buying each share individually.

Most major index CFDs can be traded nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, following the sessions of the underlying markets. Specific hours vary by index — check the contract specifications on the CXM platform for each instrument.

CXM offers index CFDs with zero commission and competitive, tight spreads. Your trading cost is built into the spread, with no separate per-trade commission on index instruments.

Yes. With CFDs you can take a long position if you expect an index to rise, or a short position if you expect it to fall — letting you seek opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
