Frequently asked questions

Indices are statistical indicators that track the performance of a group of stocks, reflecting either a specific market sector or the overall economy. They serve as benchmarks for market trends, helping traders assess economic conditions.

At Rage Markets, you can trade index CFDs, allowing you to profit from both rising and falling index prices without owning the underlying stocks.

Trading index derivatives allows you to access the stock indices market without owning the underlying assets.

By speculating on price movements, you can potentially profit whether prices are rising or falling.

Leverage enables you to trade major indices with a fraction of the capital required for direct investment, creating opportunities across multiple time frames, especially when combined with effective technical analysis.

US indices are among the most popular due to the economic power and global impact of the United States. They provide deep liquidity, diverse sector exposure, and include some of the world’s largest and most influential companies. With strong historical performance and strict regulatory oversight, US indices attract both domestic and international investors, offering various opportunities through financial products like ETFs and derivatives.

Yes, but on the trading platform and Rage Markets website, they are listed as US30, USTEC, and US500 respectively.

Spreads at Rage Markets are floating and vary based on your account type. You can view average spreads in the table above.

Leverage for US indices is set at 1:400. During High Margin Requirement periods, leverage may be adjusted to between 1:50 and 1:100.

Determining entry and exit points in the global indices market should align with your trading strategy.

Monitor key fundamental factors such as economic news releases, geopolitical events, and macroeconomic trends.

Utilize technical analysis tools like candlestick patterns, Fibonacci retracement, moving averages, and the volatility index to analyze index charts effectively.

Once your strategy is set, confirm the market opening and closing times for the indices you're trading. The complete schedule can be found in the Trading Hours section.

Fibonacci retracements are widely used in technical analysis to pinpoint potential support and resistance levels.

When trading indices, traders look for reversals at key Fibonacci levels that align with other indicators like candlestick patterns or volume.

These levels can be used to set entry and exit points or to place stop losses for risk management.

Before trading with real capital, it’s advisable to test your strategy using Fibonacci retracements on a demo account.

Stock indices are influenced by several factors, including economic and political events, consumer confidence, supply and demand, corporate earnings, and market news.

Investor sentiment toward specific sectors or stocks can also impact major global indices.

Staying updated on these factors is crucial for effective trading in the stock indices market.

Whether you’re trading on MetaTrader 5, or the Rage Markets Terminal, you have access to the most popular indicators for your index charts, including Fibonacci retracements, Bollinger Bands, RSI, moving averages, and more.

On the Rage Markets Terminal, you can also enjoy enhanced trading functionality directly from the chart, close or modify orders, adjust take profit or stop loss levels by simply dragging and dropping to your desired price.

To protect against potential price swings during volatile periods in indices trading, we’ve implemented increased margin requirements and reduced leverage. Additionally, we’ve extended trading sessions, giving you more opportunities to trade under standard margin conditions.

When setting levels for pending orders, the following rules apply:

  • Pending Orders with SL and TP: Must be placed at a distance equal to or greater than the current spread from the market price.

  • SL and TP in Pending Orders: Must be set at least the same distance from the order price as the current spread.

  • For Open Positions: SL and TP must be set at a distance from the current market price that is at least equal to the current spread.

To protect traders from slippage during price gaps, we guarantee no slippage for most pending orders executed at least 3 hours after the market opens for a specific instrument.

However, orders will be executed at the first market quote after the gap if:

  • The order is placed during abnormal market conditions, such as low liquidity or high volatility.

  • The order falls within a gap where the price difference between the first market quote and the requested order price meets or exceeds the slippage-free range for that instrument.

Slippage rules may vary based on the specific trading instrument.
