Frequently Asked Questions

How can I start trading Indices CFDs?

Simply open an AvaTrade account, complete our quick verification, fund it, then download MT4, MT5 or the AvaTrade App - once you’re in, pick your favourite index and place your first CFD trade.

Which global indices can I trade as CFDs with AvaTrade?

You can access major benchmarks - including S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, DAX 40 and Hang Seng - so you’re not limited to one market or region.

*Excluding Canada

Can I use Index CFDs to hedge my stock portfolio?

Yes - a short CFD position on a broad index can offset downward moves in your individual equity holdings, helping protect your gains without selling your stocks.

When is the best time to trade index CFDs for maximum liquidity?

Trade during the index’s home-market hours (e.g., 9:30 – 16:00 EST for S&P 500) or during overlapping sessions (like London–New York) for the tightest spreads and deepest order books.

What risk-management tools can I use when trading Index CFDs?

Set Stop Loss, Take Profit and Trailing Stop orders on every trade, and use our Risk Calculator to size positions so you never risk more than you’re comfortable with.
