Key Features of City Index
Not all CFD providers are the same, and deciding who to do business with is critical as a mistake could cost you dearly.
At City Index we aim to provide you with access to a wide range of instruments and the highest levels of protection and service.
1. Professional and Personal Service
City Index recognises that the more successful your investment approach, the more you will value our relationship. Indeed, all new account holders are assigned to our team of supervisors whose aim is to ensure you receive the level of service that any serious trader expects.
You have the reassurance when dealing with City Index that you will always be talking to the most qualified and experienced traders who have the depth of knowledge to help you improve your trading skills. They are always there to answer any questions, send you charts or other information and help in any way that may benefit you when trading.
Our extensive team of top dealers are there to provide instant, accurate and reliable prices.
2. Live Streaming Prices
When you deal on a price, you want to know that you have dealt and not awaiting any requote. With City Index, our policy is that you will never have a price requoted. All our quotes are streamed live and locked in when you decide to trade. In other words “What You See Is What You Get”, so there will be no nasty surprises.
3. Learn Before You Trade
We believe the more you know, the more informed your trading decisions and therefore the more successful your investment approach will be.
While CFDs are a simpler way of accessing markets than traditional derivatives products, any trader will always benefit from a higher level of training. Our unique Trading Academy offers free informative seminars and simulation tools to further your knowledge and understanding either before you commence trading or as an educational refresher.
4. Innovative Choices To Benefit From Leverage
City Index gives you the ability to trade all asset classes on margin. “Margin” is the monetary requirement needed to place a certain trade. Every market that City Index offers will have a margin requirement. However, our margin requirements are much smaller than those charged by traditional brokers. This high level of gearing enables you to trade in much greater quantities allowing you to make considerably larger returns on the capital employed, although the risk of loss is similarly increased.
5. www.cityindex.com.au: Award-Winning Platform
