Global Index

An index serves as a benchmark for evaluating the performance of a specific market or economic sector. The value of an index reflects the overall performance of the constituent stocks and is calculated as a weighted average. Unlike individual stocks, indices provide an opportunity to speculate on specific markets, making them particularly appealing to investors seeking to navigate the dynamic conditions of various economic sectors.
FTMO employs a "lot" trading mechanism, wherein all index products are based on standard contracts. These standard contracts accurately replicate the market value—or a portion thereof—of the corresponding index. By simplifying the process, investors can engage in trading with a standard contract that corresponds to a fixed margin.
