Diversified by construction
An index CFD spreads exposure across every constituent, so a single earnings miss cannot dominate the outcome the way it can on a single stock.
Indices
Whole markets in one line
Thirty-one equity benchmarks from three continents plus volatility and dollar indices. The largest contracts run for twenty-three hours a day so an overnight headline in Asia can be traded before Europe opens.

Indices FAQ
Questions about index CFDs
What is the difference between a cash index and a futures-based index CFD?
A cash index tracks the underlying index level with the futures fair-value basis stripped out and is financed overnight. A futures-based index tracks a specific contract month, carries no overnight financing and is rolled to the next month before expiry with a cash adjustment.
When can I trade US 500?
Twenty-three hours a day from Sunday 23:00 UTC to Friday 21:00 UTC with a one-hour break at 21:00–22:00 UTC. Spreads are tightest during the New York cash session (13:30–20:00 UTC).
Are dividends adjusted on index CFDs?
Yes. When a constituent goes ex-dividend, the index falls by the weighted dividend amount. FBGM24 credits long positions and debits short positions by the equivalent amount so the effect is neutral.
What is the smallest index trade?
0.1 contract. On US 500 at 5,480 that is a notional of 548 USD, requiring 5.48 USD margin at 1:100.
