Trade global indices on our range of powerful platforms.
It’s not possible to directly buy or sell an index, at OANDA, you can trade them as a CFD or spread bet. Our indices are derived from the price of the underlying instrument. We offer competitive spreads on our indices. You can take a position on the UK 100, NAS100 from 0.8 points, and SPX500 from 0.4.
Our pricing engine aggregates live prices, in real time, from our liquidity providers and calculates a mid-point. A custom-built pricing algorithm automatically calculates the spread symmetrically around the mid-point for each tradable instrument. This mid-point fluctuates throughout the day as market prices change.
Our award-winning† and customisable OANDA platform is engineered for reliability and speed. This is especially important during periods of high volatility, when prices can move rapidly. Our platform can be accessed from your web-browser.
Fairness and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We are upfront about our charges and fees, so you always know exactly how much you are paying when you trade with us. Learn about our costs for depositing and withdrawing funds, bank wire transfer, spreads, inactivity fees and more.
