Take advantage of leveraged index trading in the form of CFDs

Indices

Trading major market indices has been a popular way of investing for nearly a century, but it hasn’t always been available for individual traders. Due to our advanced technology you can now trade your favorite market indices in the form of CFDs and benefit from a variety of tradable products like the Nifty 50 CFD.

CFD trading is available for all types of investors (where permitted by local regulations). Contracts for difference (CFDs) allow individual investors to trade an array of financial products, such as indices (also the Nifty 50 CFD) and commodities, without having to physically own them. CFDs mirror price movements of popular traded products, usually of future contracts, and allow individual investors to use common trading tools, such as technical analysis, fundamental analysis and well known strategies to take advantage of potential market trends.

  • Maximize your portfolio’s potential by using leverage on Indices of up to 400:1 (where permitted by local regulations).
  • Cut your portfolio’s expenses by opening deals on Index CFDs with competitive spreads.

How to Start Share Trading

To begin, it's crucial to educate oneself about the stock market and how it operates. Start by reading reputable financial news sources, investing books, and attending online webinars or classes. Familiarize yourself with the key concepts such as market order, limit order, and stop-loss order. Consider opening a demo trading account to practice without risking real money. This hands-on experience is invaluable as it allows you to understand the dynamics of trading, including making buying and selling decisions, tracking stocks, and getting used to the trading platform.

You could start by investing a small amount that you're willing to lose, as the stock market is inherently volatile and unpredictable. Diversify your investments to spread the risk – don't put all your money into one stock or sector. As a novice, it's advisable to stick to well-known companies with a history of stable earnings. Over time, as you become more experienced, you can explore more complex investment strategies and instruments. Always remember to continually educate yourself, remain patient, and avoid making decisions based on emotions. The world of share trading is vast and complex, but with dedication and the right resources, it can also be immensely rewarding.

At iFOREX, you have access to all of these tools and more, with education, demo account and access to news, making it a preferrable broker for those looking to start share trading.
