Indices are weighted index of the top shares on a particular exchange, like the US30 (Dow Jones 30) and the New York Stock Exchange. With an PlatinFX account you can trade a wide range of global indices with no overnight financing costs and low margin requirements. Take advantage of our tight spreads on the UK 100, US 30, US 500, DE 30 and more.
Basic information:
We cover indices from most the popular exchanges around the world. As an attractive alternative for diversifying your investment portfolio, positions on indices are rolled over as the underlying contract expires in order to maintain the open position. You can profit from falling indices as well as rising ones, so there are trading opportunities happening all the time.
Leverage Up to 1:500The leverage we offer on indices is much better than most exchanges on future contracts. This means that you can gain a much larger exposure for a smaller initial deposit, freeing up your funds for additional positions.
