What are Index CFDs?
Stock Indices track the performance of a group of stocks and are highly responsive to economic events. For example, the German Stock Index DAX or Germany 30 represents the value of the 30 largest companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
When you trade Index CFDs, you can capitalise on price movements without actual ownership of the underlying assets. For instance, if you assumed that the price of a stock index would rise, you would place a BUY order, but if you believed it would drop, you order a SELL. If the market moved towards the direction of your placed order, you would make a profit, otherwise, you would make a loss.
​
This means that indices tend to be diversified, and you’re effectively getting access to a whole sector or economy with a single trade. Those who are new to financial markets often start with index trading rather than a specific stock or other asset.
What makes trading indices a preferred choice?
Since an index is a digital measure rather than a physical asset, it cannot be purchased directly. For example, you cannot directly own a portion of the FTSE 100 index; instead, you need to buy shares in all the companies that make up the index, based on their weighted proportions.
​
Trading indices provides the opportunity to access a wide range of markets, allowing you to benefit from the price movements of these indices without owning their individual components. This approach enables exposure to broad sectors or even the entire economy through a single trade, helping to effectively diversify your investment portfolio.
Additionally, since you do not own the underlying assets directly, short selling is just as accessible as buying. Many trading platforms offer index pricing even after market hours, allowing for 24/7 trading opportunities.

Is Forex suitable for beginners?Forex trading can be an attractive option for beginners looking to learn and understand the currency markets. This is because forex markets can be traded with small amounts of capital, and the use of leverage allows traders to control larger positions with limited capital. Traders can also trade small sizes starting from 0.01 lots. Moreover, the forex market is easily accessible online, allowing beginners to trade from anywhere with an internet connection. Educational resources include online courses, webinars, and educational articles. These resources can help beginners familiarize themselves with the basics of trading, technical analysis, and the tools and indicators used in forex trading. By dedicating time to learning and practicing, beginners can build a solid foundation and improve their trading skills. However, it is important for beginners to exercise caution and conduct their own research before engaging in any trades. Like any type of trading, forex trading carries inherent risks, especially when trading with leverage.

What is the difference between Forex trading and trading Forex CFDs?When you trade Forex, you actually own the currency itself. In contrast, Forex CFDs allow you to speculate on the price movements of currencies without owning the underlying currencies. An important advantage of CFDs is that you can enter contracts to profit from both falling prices (short position) and rising prices (long position). This is not possible with direct Forex trading.

Is trading Forex CFDs safe?All types of trading involve risks, and trading Forex CFDs is no exception. We strongly advise you to take the time to conduct thorough research and use good risk management practices. We offer excellent analytical tools to assist you.

What is leverage and how does it work in Forex CFD trading?Leverage is similar to a form of borrowing, based on a specific percentage ratio. For example, if the leverage is 1:100, for every $1 you invest as capital in your trade, we provide you with $100. This means you can access larger trading volumes without spending a significant amount of capital. While this can greatly amplify potential profits, it can also significantly increase losses.
