CFD Trading Platform Guide for Indian Traders with Exness

Understanding CFD Trading Fundamentals

CFD trading allows Indian traders to speculate on asset price movements without owning the actual instruments. Our company offers access to both forex and CFD trading services, including currency pairs, commodities, and stock indices. Clients can open long or short positions, profiting from price fluctuations in either direction. Leverage is a key feature that magnifies exposure; for example, a 5% margin means controlling twenty times your deposited margin. Risk management is essential since even small adverse movements can impact account equity significantly.

We provide a diverse selection of CFD instruments, each with specific margin rates and trading hours aligned with global markets and Indian Standard Time (IST). Our platform supports seamless trade execution with competitive spreads tailored for Indian traders.

The one-cancels-other (OCO) feature links two pending orders, canceling one if the other executes.

Trading Strategies for Indian Market Hours

Indian trading hours overlap partially with Asian and European sessions, creating specific volatility windows. The 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM IST period aligns with NSE and BSE operations, providing suitable timing for strategy execution. Scalping is effective during high liquidity hours, especially for EUR/USD and GBP/USD pairs during London-New York overlaps (7:30 PM to 11:30 PM IST).

Swing trading benefits from holding positions overnight to capture broader trends. Monitor scheduled economic events via our integrated calendar to anticipate market impacts. Range trading uses support and resistance levels identified with RSI indicators to time entries.

Currency Pair Selection

Major forex pairs provide the tightest spreads and highest liquidity, ideal for Indian traders looking for cost efficiency and stability. Minor pairs carry wider spreads but potentially higher volatility. Exotic pairs including USD/INR link directly to the Indian rupee, allowing hedging or speculation on local currency movements with appropriate risk controls.

Commodity Trading Opportunities

Precious metals like gold and silver are popular CFDs for Indian traders seeking diversification. These assets often move inversely to the US dollar, providing hedging benefits. Oil CFDs track crude prices influenced by geopolitical events and OPEC decisions. Agricultural commodities respond to seasonal and weather factors, needing fundamental alongside technical analysis.

Withdrawal Procedures and Processing Times

Withdraw funds through the Finance section in your Personal Area using the same method as your deposit to ensure smooth processing. Complete full account verification by submitting necessary documents to avoid delays. UPI withdrawals typically finalize within 24 hours on business days when entered correctly.

• Provide valid UPI ID or bank account details with IFSC code
• Withdrawal requests are confirmed via email
• Bank transfers usually take 1-3 business days
• Withdrawal limits depend on verification status and deposit history
• Customer support available through live chat, email, and phone

Check withdrawal fees and expected processing times in your Personal Area before submitting requests. Transparency helps manage expectations and avoid surprises.
