    When we talk about index trading we refer to the action of buying and selling instruments that are linked to stock market indices which track the performance of groups of assets that are based on some factors such as industry, sector or growth.

    Indexes typically measure the performance of a basket of securities intended to replicate a certain area of the market.

    In Index trading traders don´t have to invest in individual company stocks, bonds, commodities or other assets directly. Tracking this performance of a group of shares, what happens is that reflects the state of a broader market.

    How Does Index Trading Work?

    Index trading involves the buying and selling of financial instruments based on the performance of an underlying index, such as the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Traders can participate in index trading through dedicated platforms that offer access to a wide range of indices.

    Example

    You only pay or get paid the difference in the entry price and the exit price, for example: you buy (long) one contract of Dow Jones at an entry price of $27,000 USD and exit (close your trade) at $27,400 USD this means you make a profit of $400 USD per contract. If the price goes down, then you will have to pay the difference, for example, if you buy a contract of Dow Jones at $27,000 and exit at $26,800 then you would have to pay $200 USD per contract (also referred to as a loss) to the other party (usually a clearing house or an exchange). To clarify, if you Buy a contract (long) you want the price to go up to make a profit. On the other hand, when you sell a contract (short) you are expecting the price to drop to make a profit.
