Indices, also known as indexes, are portfolios of stocks. These stocks are grouped together depending on their unique characteristics. For example, the German stock market index, known as the DAX 30, consists of 30 biggest German companies trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Buying and selling the mini version index gives you the same exposure to that index, but for a cheaper price. It's easy to spot a mini. Look out for the 'm' at the end of the name of the index you're looking to trade. The ND100m includes stocks from the top technology companies in the US, just like the ND100, but with a smaller contract size.
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is an agreement between a buyer and a seller. This means that the seller will pay the buyer the difference between the current price of the index and its price at the time agreed in the contract, meaning that they are trading based on price movement.
By trading CFDs on indices, buyers and sellers are speculating whether the value of the index will rise or fall, with opportunities to profit in both directions.

An index measures the collective price performance of a group of Shares, usually from a particular country. Indices are often used to track and compare the performance of stock markets.
The performance of each index is dictated by the performance of the underlying share prices that make up that index. An index is constructed and calculated independently, sometimes by a bank or by a specialist index provider like the FTSE Group. The choice of the companies included in the index is determined by index calculation rules or by a committee. Not all indices use the same rules, however.
If you believe that an Index such as the FTSE 100 will rise, you can place a buy trade on City Indexes equivalent market, the UK 100.
If the prices rise, you will make a profit for every point that the index rises. If the market falls, then you will make a loss for every point the index moves against you. Our trading platform tells you in real-time how much profit or loss you are making.
