Index CFDs or futures?
Index CFDs let you trade in small fractional sizes on the same account as forex and gold. If you prefer exchange-style contracts (ES, NQ, YM) with a single evaluation, see our futures programme.
Best time to trade indices
The New York cash open (09:30 New York time) concentrates most of the daily range. US data at 08:30 New York time and Fed decisions also move indices strongly.
