About Equity Indices Trading
Equity indices are actual stock market indexes, which measure the value of a specific section of a stock market. They are calculated based on a weighted average of the prices of selected stocks, which belong to the actual category that they represent.
What are Equity Indices (Stock Indices)?
An Index is made up of a collection of companies. So when you trade this market, you are speculating on the movement of the combined value (and price) of these companies - as a collective (as opposed to an individual company on its own).
How Does Equity Indices Trading Work?
The differences in the movement of price between a high to low (and vice versa) in the market creates the profit-making opportunity (just as with Forex). But instead of economies and currencies, the fluctuations occur as a result of the growth or contraction of the companies. In the USA, we have the Dow (made up of 30 companies); China's stock exchange has 50, Australia - 200; UK - 100 companies; Hong Kong - 50, etc. You can see the full list in the available markets in your MT4 platform.
