Range of Markets
Forex
The word Forex is an acronym for the term Foreign Exchange. It means exchange of one currency for another on a financial market. Forex trading has been in existence since the 70’s of the XX century. It is a fast-growing and one of the most heavily traded markets in the world. The daily online trading turnover on Forex is worth almost 4 trillion US dollars.
Like any other market, Forex trades certain goods, namely national currencies of different countries. The key principle of currency dynamics is the need of government agencies as well as commercial companies around the world to convert profits generated abroad into their national currencies. However, their share accounts for just 5% of the Forex turnover. The remaining 95% comes from speculative capital of currency traders who are focused on gaining profits from currencies fluctuations.
It is a well-known fact that any financial market runs a serious risk of a possible collapse. However, unlike other markets (stock and commodity), Forex trading is secured from a crash thanks to the specifics of its commodity, namely a currency which is the most liquid and reliable trading instrument among all available ones.

CFD’S
CFDs trading are one of the world's fastest-growing trading instruments. A CFD - which stands for "contract for difference" - is an agreement to exchange the difference in value of a particular financial instrument between the times at which a contract is opened and the time at which it is closed. There is no restriction on the entry or exit price of a CFD, no time limit is placed on when this exchange happens, unless the underlying market (for example a commodity Futures contract) has an expiry date and no restriction is placed on buying first or selling first.
CFDs are leveraged products, meaning there is no need to pay the full amount but only fraction of the deposit of overall value of the trade. By using margins, it enables to magnify returns on investment but losses will also be magnified considerably, so it is essential that fully understanding the potential negatives and positives.
Indices
Indices are a measurement of the performance of a group of shares that are listed on an exchange. Because there is no underlying physical asset to exchange when trading indices, most indices trading is done with financial derivatives like CFDs.
The most important thing is determining the exact stocks or bonds each index is formed from. The set of shares included in the spot index value calculation determines the information that can be obtained by observing the dynamics of its course. In general, the main purpose of world indices is to create a powerful indicator for investors to characterise the direction of companies’ quotes in a particular industry.

Crypto Currency
Cryptocurrencies represent one of the latest innovations of the financial world through which transactions are made without intermediaries, meaning that there is no intervention by a central authority or financial institution. We therefore refer to digital assets that are secured by cryptography and are distributed cross a decentralized network.
Because of their virtual nature, cryptocurrencies are not backed by any real-world commodity or central bank. Instead, they rely on the law of supply and demand just like the value of a stock or currency does. Therefore, the price of cryptocurrencies fluctuates based on the number of people who want to buy or sell it at a given moment.
Cryptocurrencies are quoted in conventional currencies such as the US dollar.
