What are stock indices and how do I trade them?
INDICES
BASICS
Stock indices track the performance of a group of stocks, like the S&P 500 (top 500 US companies) or NASDAQ (tech-focused). You trade indices as CFDs without owning individual stocks. Benefits: instant diversification, lower margin requirements, and exposure to entire markets with one trade.

ACCOUNTS
Index leverage varies by account: FLEX accounts up to 1:100, SMART accounts up to 1:200, ELITE accounts up to 1:200. US indices typically offer higher leverage than individual stocks. Always use proper risk management as indices can move significantly during market events.
