Trade Every Major Stock Index.
When the S&P 500 breaks out, you're in. When the DAX reacts to ECB, you're positioned. NAMH gives you CFD access to the global indices that set the tone for risk every trading day.
S&P. Nasdaq. Dow. Every major benchmark — in one account.
The 8 indices that set the tone.
One position, the whole market.
A stock index is a basket of stocks that represents a market or sector. The S&P 500 tracks the 500 largest US-listed companies. The NASDAQ 100 tracks the top non-financial Nasdaq listings. The FTSE 100 tracks London's 100 largest. The DAX tracks Germany's 40 biggest. When you trade an index as a CFD, you're taking one position that reflects the aggregate direction of that entire market — no need to pick individual stocks.
Indices are favored by macro traders, systematic strategies, and anyone expressing broad market views. Earnings season? Trade the NASDAQ 100 instead of 100 individual tech names. Fed decision? The S&P 500 is where volatility lands. Brexit headlines? The FTSE is the cleanest expression. The MT5 platform shows every index with real-time pricing, one-click trading, and configurable charting.
Leverage on index CFDs goes up to 1:100, spreads start from 0.3 points on the S&P 500 in normal liquidity, and positions can be opened or closed any time during the underlying exchange's hours plus extended hours where supported. Long, short, intraday, swing — the CFD structure treats all directions and holding periods equally.

Everything you need to know.
What is an index CFD?+
An index CFD is a contract-for-difference that tracks the price of a stock index (S&P 500, NASDAQ, FTSE, etc.) without owning any underlying shares. You take one position on the whole basket. If the S&P 500 rises from 4,500 to 4,550, a long position gains 50 points × contract size.
Can I short an index?+
Yes. CFDs have no short-selling restrictions. You can go short on any index at any time during its trading hours — no borrowing shares, no uptick rules, no locate fees. Shorting lets you profit from falling markets.
Which index CFDs does NAMH offer?+
Over 20 index CFDs across US (S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones), Europe (FTSE 100, DAX 40, CAC 40, IBEX 35, Euro Stoxx 50), and Asia-Pacific (Nikkei 225, Hang Seng, ASX 200). Plus volatility indices like the VIX for hedging.
What leverage is available on indices?+
Up to 1:100 on major indices like S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100. Up to 1:50 on emerging-market and volatility indices. All positions include negative balance protection.
When do index CFDs trade?+
Each index follows its underlying exchange hours — NYSE hours for US indices, LSE for FTSE, Xetra for DAX, etc. US indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, DOW) also offer extended-hours CFD trading, letting you react to earnings and overnight news.
Is there overnight financing on indices?+
Yes. Index CFD positions held overnight incur a swap fee (positive or negative depending on direction and interest rates). Swap is charged at the daily rollover (typically 00:00 platform time) and tripled on Wednesday to cover the weekend.
