What is CFD trading?

 

Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are instruments which track the quoted price of an underlying asset such as a stock, commodities future, exchange index or fund index. Trading CFDs does not carry out an operation on the underlying asset itself, which means that trades can be made at any time and for any volume. CFDs offer you the opportunity to capitalize on both rising and falling prices in the underlying asset.

Indices

 

Equity indices, or stock indices as they are also commonly known, are actual stock market indexes, which measure the value of a specific section of a stock market. They are calculated based on a weighted average of the prices of selected stocks, which belong to the actual category that they represent. Stock indices can represent a specific stock market such as NASDAQ, or they can represent a specific set of the largest companies of a nation such as the American S&P 500, the British FTSE 100, or the Japanese Nikkei 225.

 

The purpose of the indices is to show the general direction of a specific stock market or of the general economy of a nation. However, since stock indices are composed of a basket of companies they can be very much affected by a big move of a specific company or by a big move of a specific sector of trade.
