Easy, cost-effective access to a broad range of companies

Index CFDs provide easy, cost-effective access to a broad range of companies without needing to analyse individual stocks. 

The ability to use leverage to control larger portions makes them an accessible product with smaller upfront capital requirements, and the option to trade long or short gives you the flexibility to trade in any direction.

Approach to trading Index CFDs

Elections, political events, policy changes, GDP growth rates, employment figures, inflation data, and corporate earnings announcements can all impact the performance of index funds.

It’s important to understand these factors and incorporate them into your approach when trading index CFDs.

Understanding the risks

Leverage risk

Leverage trading magnifies both gains and losses. This means you can lose more than your initial capital, especially in fast-moving markets

No ownership of underlying asset

When trading CFDs, you do not own the underlying asset. As a result, you're not entitled to dividends, voting rights, or other shareholder benefits.

Spread risk

Although GO Markets offers competitive, exchange-like spreads, spreads may widen significantly during periods of high volatility or low liquidity. This can increase your trading costs and impact your trading outcomes.

Index CFD trading strategies

Technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and sentiment analysis can all be utilised when trading index CFDs.

1

Technical analysis involves studying charts and using indicators to identify trends and potential entry and exit points.

1

Fundamental analysis involves studying economic and political events that may affect the value of currencies.

1

Sentiment analysis involves studying the mood of the market and the views of other traders and investors.
