Tradin®

Indices

In short

Six cash indices, each covering a whole market in one trade. Leverage starts at 1:500 and steps down as your position grows.

An index tracks a group of shares as a single price, so one trade gives you the direction of a whole market rather than one company. Every index at Tradin is a cash index, quoted continuously with no expiry. Index futures are listed separately in the platform.

Leverage steps down as the position grows

Index leverage is dynamic. The first tier of your position gets the highest leverage, and each further tier gets less, so a larger position needs proportionally more margin. See Dynamic leverage for how the tiers are added together.
