ETO Markets' indices trading is trading with CFD contracts, where investors trade by speculating on the rise or fall of prices, rather than buying underlying assets.

ETO Markets uses a "hand count" trading mechanism, which means that all products are aggregated into stock sizes (or contracts) for trading. This simplifies trading, allowing customers to make transactions for specific contracts, based on quotes for each contract, rather than open and close prices.

Clients of ETO Markets can trade stock index futures in the world's most popular trading platform MT4. A variety of transaction types can be used, including swing trading, tap resale, arbitrage trading and Expert Advisors (EA). By using leverage, stock index CFDs allow investors to trade with a minimum capital, maximizing their positions in the stock market. This offers investors a quick, easy and inexpensive access point to trading on the global stock indices.
