How does Indices Trading work?

1. Choice of Index: Choose an index, like the USA500 or CAC 40, that represents a group of stocks.
2. Speculate on Movement: Instead of buying the stocks, you predict whether the index will rise or fall in value.
3. Contract: You enter a CFD, which is a contract between you and your broker (VestoFX), based on your prediction.
4. Profit or Loss: If your prediction is correct, you earn from your trade If it’s wrong, you incur a loss. The amount you gain or lose depends on the extent of the index’s movement.
5. No Physical Shares: You never own any shares; you’re just speculating on the index’s value.

This way, you can potentially earn from the stock market’s movements without needing a large amount of capital to invest in actual stocks. However, it’s important to remember that CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of loss.
