What Are Synthetic Indices?
Synthetic indices are algorithm-generated financial products whose price movements are not based on real markets but are created through mathematical models and random number generators. Unlike traditional indices, synthetic indices can be traded 24/7 and are not affected by actual market events or trading hours.
Why We Don't Offer Synthetic Indices Trading
At FXTRADING.com, we do not offer synthetic indices trading for the following reasons:
1. Regulatory Considerations
Our platform operates under strict financial regulations, and we only provide regulated financial products. Synthetic indices may face regulatory challenges or restrictions in certain jurisdictions, which is why we have chosen not to offer these products.
2. Risk Management Policy
Due to their algorithm-generated nature, synthetic indices present unique risk characteristics. As a responsible broker, our risk management policies prioritize offering trading products based on real markets to ensure transparency and fairness in client trading.
3. Focus on Real Market Products

Forex currency pairs
