Index Trading for the Global Trader : Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Index Trading for the Global Trader Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management One market view can represent hundreds of companies, multiple sectors and an entire economic narrative. “An index is more than a number on a screen. It is a constantly changing picture of collective expectations.” When traders look at an index such as the NIFTY 50, S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, DAX or Nikkei 225, they are not simply looking at one company.
