FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about trading indices with Exness.

Stock indices measure the performance of a group of stocks representing a particular market or sector. When you trade index CFDs, you speculate on the overall movement of the index rather than individual stocks. This gives you exposure to entire economies with a single position.

The best time to trade indices depends on the specific market. US indices (US30, USTEC) are most active during the New York session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM EST). European indices (DE40, UK100) are most active during the London session (8:00 AM - 4:30 PM GMT). Asian indices (JP225, HK50) follow Asian market hours.

Exness offers leverage up to 1:400 for index CFD trading. This means you can control a position worth $40,000 with just $100 in margin. Remember that leverage amplifies both gains and losses, so use it responsibly.

Most stock indices follow their underlying exchange hours and are not tradable on weekends. However, some indices may have extended hours or pre-market trading. Check the specific trading hours for each index instrument in your trading platform.

You can start trading indices with Exness from just $10 on a Standard account. The minimum trade size for most indices is 0.01 lots, making them accessible even with a small trading capital.
