Stock index can’t be traded as a pure asset - a trader can operate only its derivative. Among the popular derivatives for indices are CFDs and ETFs.
CFD (Contract For Difference) is a financial instrument that allows to use a higher leverage while trading and to open both long (buying) and short (selling) positions. CFDs on Indices usually have the same price as their underlying index and follow the same trends.
All indices available for trading at RoboMarkets are provided in a form of CFDs.
ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is a gaining popularity asset that can represent the same set of shares as an index or the same industry or market. ETFs are traded on the same stock exchanges as the stocks included in the fund.

The differences between trading on these markets include mostly the approach to market analysis and understanding the reasons behind price movements. Some of the main differences are:
Usually, market news doesn’t affect an index price, but the prices of particular stocks comprising it. Thus, analyzing and gathering this data can be more difficult and time-consuming than in forex trading.
The index is traded according to the stock exchange opening hours while forex is active almost 24 hours a day. If you need to, you can check the foreign stock exchanges market hours on our website.
In currency pairs, traded on Forex, the final quote depends on the relationship between two national currencies. Basically, one is moving against another.
In indices trading, you should take into account the movement of numerous stocks included in an index. If one company’s stock is falling or growing, it doesn’t mean it will affect the index. On the other hand, when the index price is falling or rising up, it shows the general trend of the whole market the index represents.
