what are indices?

An index is a way to measure the performance of a group of assets, in this case a list of publicly traded companies and their stock prices. 

One of the top performing and most widely known indices in the world is the Dow Jones. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tracks the overall performance of the 30 largest companies in the US. If the average price of the 30 companies goes up, the DJIA climbs higher as well. If the average price of the 30 companies drops lower, the DJIA will decline too.

What is index trading?

Index trading is defined as the buying and selling of a specific stock market index. Investors will speculate on the price of an index rising or falling which then determines whether they will be buying or selling. Since an index represents the performance of a group of stocks, you will not be buying any actual underlying stock, but rather buying the average performance of the group of stocks.  When the price of shares for the companies within an index go up, the value of the index increases. If the price instead falls, the value of the index will drop.
