Indices Trading

Swift Arbitrage provides exposure to the major global stock indices through index Contracts for Difference ("CFDs"). CFD indices trading is a form of derivative trading that allows investors to speculate on the price movements of stock market indices, such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100, or DAX 30, without owning the actual underlying assets. Traders enter into an agreement with a broker to exchange the difference in the index's value from the time the contract is opened to when it is closed.

When trading indices via CFDs, traders predict whether the value of an index will rise or fall:

  • Going long: If a trader believes the index will increase, they buy a CFD. If the price rises, they profit from the difference.
  • Going short: If the trader expects the index to drop, they sell a CFD. If the price falls, they profit from the decline.

How Trading Indices CFDs Works

Trading Mechanism:

An index CFD allows investors to trade in the underlying index by speculating about its future price movement. Index CFDs offers several benefits for both beginner traders and experienced traders

  • Diversification: Index CFDs allow traders to gain exposure to a basket of stocks rather than a single company. By trading an index, such as the S&P 500 or FTSE 100, you are effectively diversifying your investments across multiple sectors, reducing the risk associated with individual stock volatility.
  • Leverage: Index CFD trading offers leverage, meaning traders can open larger positions with a smaller initial investment. This can amplify potential profits, but it also increases risk.
  • No Expiry Dates: Unlike futures contracts, Index CFDs typically have no expiry dates. This allows traders to hold positions for as long as they wish without worrying about contract expiration.
  • Hedging: Traders and investors can use Index CFDs as a hedging tool to protect their portfolios from adverse market movements. For instance, if an investor holds a portfolio of stocks, they can short an index CFD to offset potential losses during a market downturn.
  • Less Volatile: Traders and investors can use Index CFDs as a hedging tool to protect their portfolios from adverse market movements. For instance, if an investor holds a portfolio of stocks, they can short an index CFD to offset potential losses during a market downturn.
