It was only a couple of days ago that we reported about LiteForex, the international broker, launching auto-withdrawals, in an effort to boost the efficiency of its services. And today, the brokerage once again proved its strife for enriching its product and services offering, by giving its clients a chance to trade with World Indices.
We're talking about stock indices with most of which you're probably already familiar: the FTSE (whose value reflects the share prices of the most highly capitalized companies on the London Stock Exchange) and the RTS (a capitalization-weighted index of the stocks of 50 companies traded on the Moscow Exchange). If we keep scrolling down the index list, we'll see other well-known names such as the Dow Jones Index, DAX and S&P 500. The total count of World Indices is 12, with the trading conditions (e.g., the spread) varying among indices, so make sure to check those carefully.
Among the advantages of trading such instruments is the diversification of risk – you can make money regardless of the state of the market – whether it's bearish or bullish. Another plus is that you get to benefit from the volatility in the stock market – since the value of these indices is based on the share prices of various companies, the values of the indices may vary a lot.
The broker also highlights the fact that the spreads are tight and that there are no transaction costs.
However, it is our duty to remind you that this trading is also risky and to have in mind the information about the margin, associated with each index. For example, the margin requirement for the DAX Index is 1%, and for FTSE is 2%.
On the brighter side, index trading gives one of the best opportunities out there to get to know how the stock market actually works and how macroeconomic changes affect the microeconomic world. Putting it otherwise, such type of trading will gain you deep understanding of how various events in politics and the global economy affect a particular company or a particular currency.
LiteForex's offers a chance to do this: it's up to you to decide whether you'd opt for trading indices or not.
