About Index EAs

Index CFDs gap at the cash open and move hard around company earnings and US data, so many index EAs trade the New York or Frankfurt open, or stay flat around it. Some EAs here are built for synthetic indices such as the Volatility and Boom/Crash indices, which only a few brokers offer.

Contract sizes and point values for indices differ a lot between brokers: one lot of US30 can be $1 or $10 a point. Check what the EA assumes before you run it.

28 of these 135 EAs use grid or martingale logic and are marked High risk.
