Indices
A whole market in a single position: trade the main stock indices of the US, Europe and Asia, long or short.
Why trade indices
An index sums up the performance of a group of shares: the S&P 500 the 500 largest US companies, the DAX the 40 largest German ones. With an index CFD you take a view on the whole market instead of a single company.
Our instrument names (US 500, Germany 40…) refer to the CFD that tracks the index; the official index names are trademarks of their owners.

CFDs are leveraged products: losses can quickly exceed the capital you commit to a position. Before trading, make sure you understand how they work and only use money you can afford to lose.

When the index's companies pay a dividend, an adjustment is applied to open positions: usually a credit on long positions and a debit on short ones.
