What is required to buy or sell Index CFDs at OANDA TMS?
When to buy and when to sell CFDs on indices?
During a bull market, investors typically buy indices by opening long positions. When the situation changes, sentiment reverses, and a bear market begins - it's not the end of your investments. During price declines, you can potentially profit by shorting, i.e., opening short positions. You sell CFDs on the index, and when its price decreases, you buy it back, thus earning on the price difference.

What are the transaction costs associated with investing in stock indices?
When trading stock indices, OANDA TMS Brokers does not charge any fees for holding positions overnight (no financing costs, i.e., SWAP). This is very good news for medium and long-term investors. The only cost is the spread, i.e., the difference between the buying and selling prices. Check the spread on stock indices in the OANDA TMS offer.
