Indices CFDs let you speculate on prices without owning the underlying shares. You enter a contract with Axi to exchange the difference in the indices price between the contract's start and end.

While leverage has the potential to amplify gains, it can also lead to significant losses since Indices prices can fluctuate rapidly and unexpectedly. If the market moves against your position, you may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your open trade. Failure to meet a margin call can result in your positions being closed at a loss. In volatile market conditions, it might be difficult to close your position at the desired price. Sudden market movements can cause prices to "gap" over your stop-loss orders, potentially leading to larger-than-anticipated losses.

No, your positions will not be closed when the contract expires. It will remain open, the position will be rolled over and a cash adjustment will be applied to your account.

All Axi index contracts are based on a relevant futures exchange price, and each futures contract has an expiry date. If your trade remains open on the date the contract expires, the trade will be rolled over and an adjustment will be made to reflect the difference in contract pricing.

For reference, the spot price is the current market price at which an asset is bought or sold for immediate payment and delivery. With futures, the price reflects the expected value at which an asset can be bought or sold for delivery in the future.

The initial margin rate required varies for each index. The tick sizes will vary too, as outlined in the product schedule.

For reference, tick value on indices is the minimum price fluctuation established by an exchange. Tick sizes are mentioned in the "contract specifications" set by futures exchanges and are calibrated to ensure liquid, efficient markets through a tick bid-ask spread.

Buying on margin is when investors borrow money from a broker to buy stocks or indexes. Margin trading would require a trader to open a dedicated margin account.

Leverage is a loan provided to traders that makes it possible for them to buy and sell trading instruments. Axi offers 20:1 leverage for standard trading accounts.
