How can I trade an index?

An index itself cannot usually be traded directly. However, clients may be able to trade products whose value is linked to an index, such as ETFs, futures, index options or futures options, subject to product availability, account eligibility, trading permissions and applicable regulations. To search for available index-related products, clients can enter the relevant symbol in the trading platform. The contract selection window will show the available product types, such as ETF, futures, options or futures options, where applicable. Before placing an order, clients should review the product type, exchange, contract specifications, trading permissions, market data requirements and margin impact.
