What is Indices Trading ?

An index measures the performance of a basket of stocks, giving you exposure to a whole market or sector in a single instrument. With Kudo you can trade 30+ global indices as CFDs — including the S&P 500, FTSE 100, DAX 40 and Nikkei 225 — going long or short on the broader market without needing to pick individual companies.

How a Trade Works
  • 1
    Choose an index

    Select from 30+ major indices across US, European and Asian markets, from the S&P 500 to the Hang Seng.

  • 2
    Go long or short

    Go long if you expect the index to rise, or short if you expect a decline — useful for hedging an existing equity portfolio.

  • 3

    “The market analysis they send out daily is actually useful. Helped me catch the USD/JPY breakout last month. Wish they covered more emerging market pairs.”

Explore trading styles and practical guides designed to help you navigate index markets with greater confidence.

INTRA-DAY

Day Trading

Open and close index positions within the same session. Day traders often combine technical analysis with macro releases and futures-market context to respond to short-term volatility without holding overnight exposure.

SHORT TERM

Swing Trading

Hold index positions for several days or weeks to follow broader moves. Swing traders often combine technical setups with macro catalysts and typically use wider stops and larger targets than intraday traders.

LONG TERM

Position Trading

Hold indices for weeks or months to capture sustained trends. Position traders focus on macro themes and central bank policy, with less emphasis on short-term price action.
