What is indices trading?
Indices trading is the buying and selling of a group of stocks that make up an index, such as our US 30 index (Dow Jones), which tracks 30 large publicly traded companies on the New York Stock Exchange.
Trading on indices is popular with short-term traders who want to speculate on highly-liquid assets, with tight spreads and minimal slippage. Speculating on indices offers traders exposure to a wide range of stocks.

FAQs
New to index trading?
What are indices?
Indices are a measure of a section of shares in the stock market, created by combining the value of several stocks to create one aggregate value. Major financial indices include the Dow Jones Industrial Average, FTSE 100, and S&P 500. The Dow Jones index, for example, represents 30 large publicly-listed companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
How can I trade on indices?
You can start trading on indices by opening a live account. Or, to practice index trading strategies, open a demo account and trade with virtual funds.
What is leveraged trading?
One of the advantages of trading CFDs is that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of your position to open a trade, known as trading on leverage. Remember, trading on leverage can also amplify losses, so it’s important to manage your risk.
How does CFD trading on indices actually work?
When you trade CFDs on indices via our platform, you don’t buy or sell the underlying index. Instead, you’re taking a position on whether you think the index will go up or down.
While you can trade on leverage, meaning you only need to put up a minor percentage of the overall trade’s value, any profit or loss is based on the full value of the trade. As a retail client, you can never lose more than the amount in your account, which is known as negative balance protection.
What is included in a trading account?
When you open a standard CFD trading or FX Active account, you’ll have access to our award-winning platform and app, which includes 11,000+ financial instruments, and a multitude of technical and fundamental analysis tools and indicators, and other charting features. Please note that some of these are only available with a live account.
New to Bit Blaze?
Is it free to open an account?
There’s no cost when opening a live trading account with us. You can also view prices and use tools such as charts, Reuters news or Morningstar quantitative equity reports, free of charge. However, you’ll need to deposit funds in your account to place a trade.
Is Bit Blaze regulated?
Yes, Bit Blaze Canada Inc. is a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO). CFDs are distributed in Canada by Bit Blaze Canada Inc. acting as principal.
How does Bit Blaze protect my money?
As a Bit Blaze client, your money is held separately from Bit Blaze’s own money and is held on trust in segregated bank accounts with a Canadian bank.

This offers you financial security and you can rest assured that your money with us is protected.
How does Bit Blaze make money?
