A new way to trade U.S. and global stock indices
For traders who want something more active than buy-and-hold investing, binary options and spreads can create access to short-term index moves with limited risk characteristics. That opens major stock-index futures markets to individual traders at lower cost and with more defined downside.
On MotionTrade, this market section covers several index contracts from the United States and major global exchanges.
