What are indices?
ndices track the performance of a group of shares on a stock market, providing insight into overall market trends.

Margins
CFD trading enables you to take a position with leverage, meaning you can get full market exposure for just a small deposit – known as margin. The margin required to open a position depends on the market.
Spreads and commissions
The spread is what you pay us for executing your trade, calculated as the difference between our current buy and sell prices for a market. We’re constantly working to keep our spreads among the lowest in the industry.
