Spreads
Spreads in the indices market frequently float. The spreads mentioned above are averages from prior trading days. Check our platform for current spreads.
Spreads may increase during periods of low liquidity. This includes times such as daily breaks and may continue until normal conditions resume.
Leverage
JustMarkets offers leverage in compliance with applicable regulations, with limits varying depending on the asset class. Retail clients can access leverage of up to 1:30 for Forex, up to 1:20 for commodities and indices, up to 1:5 for stocks, and up to 1:2 for cryptocurrencies. Professional clients may qualify for higher leverage of up to 1:100.
Leverage can enhance potential returns, but it also significantly increases the risk of losses, which may exceed the initial investment. Traders should carefully assess their risk tolerance and financial situation before using leverage.
For more details, please refer to our Leverage Policy.
Swap-free trading
Swap is the interest fee charged on trading positions that remain open overnight. The swap rates vary across different trading pairs. Swaps are applied at 22:00 GMT+3 each day, excluding the weekend, until the position is closed. It is important to note that swaps on Wednesdays are tripled to account for weekend funding costs.
All trading accounts are opened as non swap-free. If you are Muslim, then you may submit request to be transferred to swap-free account through the Personal area.
Terms and Conditions apply, including order handling fee.
Stop level
The stop level is the minimum acceptable distance between the desired position opening price and the current (market) price when setting a pending order (Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy/Sell Stop, Buy/Sell Limit). The stop level prevents traders from placing pending orders too close to the actual price, which can help manage execution risks like rapid price shifts during volatility.
Pay attention that the stop level values indicated in the table above are variable and might not be accessible for traders employing specific high-frequency strategies or utilizing Expert Advisors.
Frequently asked questions
1
Why is it called indices?
The term “indices” is the plural form of “index.” In finance, an index refers to a statistical measure or indicator representing the performance of a specific sector or segment of the stock market. Indices are called so because they indicate or measure the collective price movements of a group of stocks.
2
What are examples of indices?
Examples of well-known stock indices include the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500), and Nasdaq Composite in the United States. Internationally, there are indices like the FTSE 100 in the United Kingdom, the DAX in Germany, and the Nikkei 225 in Japan.

4
What are the advantages of trading stock index derivatives vs. investing in indices?
Trading stock index derivatives, like futures and options, offers benefits like leverage, which allows for greater exposure with less capital. They also provide flexibility in executing various strategies, including hedging. Derivatives can be traded on margin and offer the ability to profit from both rising and falling markets, unlike direct investing in indices.
Important to note: Trading CFDs on indices does not give you ownership of the actual assets.
5
What are the peak trading hours for indices?
For major indices like the S&P 500 or DJIA, peak trading times are during the regular trading hours of the US stock market, particularly the first and last hours of the trading day when volume and volatility are higher.
6
What indicators can I use on an index chart?
On an index chart, popular technical indicators include moving averages for trend identification, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for assessing overbought or oversold conditions, Bollinger Bands for volatility analysis, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for identifying potential buy and sell signals.
