Using CFD Indices, traders in Canada can now access the world's largest stock markets. Indices are a market index that represent a segment of a particular financial market. All stock exchanges across the world have a benchmark stock index that is often used to gauge price movement and future market performance.
FP Markets offers Indices trading across all trading platforms including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and Iress. Indices are an effective measure of the overall performance of a particular stock market and allow Canadian traders to invest in a market, or segment of a market, rather than individual stocks. Indices are also less volatile as their price fluctuations are not as extreme as a single stock.
Trading the NASDAQ and NYSE is no longer limited to residents of the United States. FP Markets bring Wall Street to your doorstep as you can trade Indices CFDs including the US100 (NASDAQ 100), US500, and US Dollar Index. Within the same trading platform, traders in Canada can then access other markets such as the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
