Stock CFD Trading FAQ

What are stock indices and how do I trade them?
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.
What are stock CFDs and how do they work?
Stock CFDs let you trade individual company shares like Apple, Tesla, Microsoft without owning the actual stocks. You profit from price movements up or down with leverage up to 1:20. Benefits: no stamp duty, short selling allowed, fractional shares, and trade during extended hours.
What is the best time to trade stock indices?
US indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ) are most active during US market hours (09:30-16:00 EST), especially the first and last hour. European indices (DAX, FTSE) peak during 08:00-16:30 CET. For volatility, trade around economic announcements and earnings seasons.
What are the trading hours for stock CFDs?
Stock CFD trading hours follow the underlying stock exchanges: US stocks (NYSE/NASDAQ) 09:30-16:00 EST, European stocks (LSE) 08:00-16:30 GMT, Asian stocks (TSE) 09:00-15:00 JST. Milton offers extended hours trading on major stocks for maximum flexibility.
What leverage can I use for index trading?
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.
