An index CFD is a contract for difference (CFD) based on the price movements of stock market indices such as the Nikkei 225 or S&P 500. You don't own actual shares — profits and losses are determined solely by price changes. A single trade gives you exposure to the entire market trend.

With physical stocks you actually own shares in a company, while CFDs involve no ownership — only cash settlement. CFD advantages include leverage trading and the ability to go short in falling markets. Shareholder rights don't apply, but dividend adjustments are credited or debited.

Key factors include central bank monetary policy (rate hikes/cuts), economic data (GDP, employment, CPI), major corporate earnings, and geopolitical risks. In particular, US Federal Reserve (Fed) policy decisions have a broad impact on global stock indices.

Hours vary by index. Major US indices (US30, US500, NAS100) are tradable nearly 24 hours a day (excluding maintenance windows). Trading hours differ by instrument — check the Titan FX website for the latest schedule, as they change with daylight saving time and holidays.

Yes. When constituent stocks pay dividends, the index price is in principle adjusted. Long CFD holders may receive a positive dividend adjustment, while short holders may be charged a negative one. Significant price moves can occur on ex-dividend dates.

Yes. Titan FX allows leverage on index CFDs. Available leverage varies by instrument and account type. Since higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses, it's important to use a setting that suits your risk tolerance and to always use stop-loss orders.

Common scenarios include aggressive central bank rate hikes (raising corporate borrowing costs), major earnings downgrades from leading companies, rising recession fears, financial system stress (e.g., bank failures), and the outbreak of significant geopolitical risks.

US30 (Dow Jones) tracks 30 major industrial and financial companies. US500 (S&P 500) broadly covers 500 large US-listed stocks. NAS100 (Nasdaq 100) focuses on technology giants like Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Of the three, NAS100 can exhibit relatively larger price swings.
