What is Indices?

An index is a method to track the performance of a group of assets in a standardized way. Indexes typically measure the performance of a basket of securities intended to replicate a certain area of the market. These could be a broad-based index that captures the entire market, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index or Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), or more specialized indexes that track a particular industry or segment.

How to Start Trading Indices
While you cannot invest in indices directly, you can trade financial products that are closely related to their market movement. A good example of this would be Contracts for Differences, or CFDs for short.

 

Trading indices with CFDs are typically divided into two types – whether you are going long or short. Long trading means that you are investing in a market that is expected to grow, whereas going short means that you are selling while expecting the prices to fall.
