What Are Synthetic Indices?

Synthetic Indices are CFDs based on algorithmically generated price feeds rather than underlying shares, currencies, commodities, or traditional market indices. Their prices are designed around defined mathematical movement profiles, giving you a different market environment to analyse and trade.

Not derived from

  • Shares
  • Currencies
  • Commodities
  • Traditional market indices

There is no underlying asset to track, so nothing for the price to follow.

Generated by

A defined mathematical movement profile — a price feed produced by an algorithmic model, running to fixed statistical rules.

Stochastic Indices offer two-way movement without a built-in directional bias; Crash and Boom Indices are designed around intermittent directional moves; and Jump Indices feature sudden moves in either direction.
