NDD TECHNOLOGY

What are stock indices and how do I trade them?

INDICES

BASICS

Stock indices track the performance of a group of stocks, like the S&P 500 (top 500 US companies) or NASDAQ (tech-focused). You trade indices as CFDs without owning individual stocks. Benefits: instant diversification, lower margin requirements, and exposure to entire markets with one trade.
