Complete Guide to Indices Trading on Exness Platform in India

Understanding Indices Trading Through Our Platform

Indices trading on Exness offers Indian traders access to major global stock indices via CFDs. Our platform allows speculation on indices such as US30 (Dow Jones), USTEC (Nasdaq 100), SPX500 (S&P 500), and HK50 (Hang Seng) without owning the underlying assets. We provide margin-based leverage, with fixed ratios of 1:400 for US indices and 1:200 for other regions. Real-time price updates from exchanges ensure precise market conditions. Indian users benefit from INR-denominated accounts, removing currency conversion issues and enabling faster execution.

Registering an account for Indian residents is simplified with our localized process. Download the Exness Trade app available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store, compatible with Android 5.0+ and iOS 11.0+. Alternatively, use our web terminal via any modern HTML5 browser.

Once verified, you can fund your account using INR through various payment methods.

The web terminal requires no download and supports Chrome 70+, Firefox 65+, and Safari 12+. All platforms sync account data in real-time. Mobile apps require about 50MB storage and use 2MB RAM during active trading sessions.

Selecting and Analyzing Index Instruments

Locate indices by typing symbols like “US30” or “USTEC” in the platform’s search bar. The instrument page shows bid/ask spreads, daily price ranges, and active trading sessions. We provide open, close, intraday high/low data along with 12-month volatility statistics. Correlation coefficients help assess relationships between indices, enhancing strategy formulation. Use this data to select indices fitting your trading goals.

Technical Analysis Tools and Chart Configuration

Our charting suite supports candlestick, bar, and line formats with timeframes from 1 minute to monthly views. Over 50 indicators are available, including SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci retracements. Drawing tools allow marking support/resistance and trendlines. Custom templates can be saved to maintain consistent analysis. Price alerts notify you when your target indices hit specified levels.

Market Hours and Trading Sessions

US indices trade 24 hours Monday to Friday, aligned with New York sessions. European indices operate during London hours (1:30 PM to 10:00 PM IST), and Asian indices follow regional exchange times. Overlapping sessions increase volatility, presenting trading opportunities. All session times are shown in IST. The platform automatically adjusts for holidays and weekends, notifying users in advance via email.

Order Types and Execution Methods

Exness supports various order types to suit diverse strategies. Market orders execute instantly at current prices, ideal for quick trades. Limit orders activate at specified prices, allowing precise entries. Stop orders trigger on price breaches, useful for breakouts and stop-loss setups. Advanced types include OCO orders and trailing stops, which adapt with price movement. Execution speed averages under 100 milliseconds, minimizing slippage risks.

Position Sizing and Lot Calculations

Use our built-in risk calculator to determine position sizes. The minimum lot is 0.01 (micro lot), with standard lots equal to 1.0 units. For US30, each point movement equals $1 per lot, similarly for USTEC. Profit and loss are displayed in INR with live updates. Maximum trade size is 100 lots. This helps control exposure and manage risk effectively.

Leverage Application and Margin Requirements

Leverage is preset depending on indices and account type. US indices offer 1:400 leverage, requiring 0.25% margin. European and Asian indices have 1:200 leverage with 0.5% margin. A margin calculator shows required funds before orders to avoid errors. Free margin updates in real time, enabling multiple trades. Margin call occurs at 50% equity and automatic closure at 20% to safeguard capital.

Risk Management Strategies and Tools

Our platform integrates risk control tools such as stop-loss and take-profit orders. Stop-loss limits downside risk by closing losing trades at preset levels. Take-profit secures gains when price targets are met. We advise risking no more than 1-2% of the account per trade. The position size calculator helps align lot sizes with risk tolerance and stop-loss distance. Diversification across indices reduces exposure to single markets.

Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Implementation

Set stop-loss below support for longs and above resistance for shorts. You can modify stops post-entry based on market changes. Guaranteed stops are available for a premium, eliminating slippage risk. Take-profit should reflect realistic resistance/support levels, aiming for at least twice the stop-loss distance. Partial profit-taking helps lock gains incrementally across targets.

Portfolio Diversification Techniques

Distribute capital among indices from different regions and sectors. Combine US tech indices (USTEC) with European industrials (GER40) and Asian financials (HK50). Use our correlation matrix to identify uncorrelated markets. Avoid concentration in single sectors or economies. The economic calendar guides diversification by highlighting regional events impacting indices.

Advanced Trading Strategies and Market Analysis

Apply systematic methods using our analytical tools. Trend-following capitalizes on sustained moves in indices. Momentum trading targets acceleration phases and breakouts. Mean reversion exploits price deviations from averages. Backtesting with 10+ years of data evaluates strategy viability. Our platform provides standard deviation and price distribution tools for statistical assessments.

Economic Calendar Integration and News Trading

Our economic calendar displays high-impact events with filters by country and importance. It provides forecasts, past data, and actual results. News trading exploits market reactions to unexpected releases. Real-time news feeds from financial providers keep you updated. Price alerts activate during significant events for timely responses.

Seasonal Patterns and Market Cycles

Analyze seasonal trends using historical tools. US indices often perform strongly in Q4, while European markets show summer volatility. Pattern recognition highlights repeat behaviors. Market cycles incorporate phases of economic growth, interest rate changes, and geopolitical factors. Sector rotation indicators track capital flows. Long-term charts show major turning points over decades.
