“Capital Markets” is a broad categorization of an array of financial instruments. These include (but are not limited to) Currencies, Stocks, Indices, ETFs, Bonds, Commodities, Cryptocurrencies/Tokens etc.

Investment firms, a.k.a. “Brokerages”, facilitate trading of the actual instruments. Others enable trading only on the fluctuating prices of these instruments. They do this through a product called CFD – Contract for Difference.

Although the CFD price we see moving up and down is what will translate into a profit or a loss for a trader, and although there are various ways to read the possible directions, a CFD price is still only a price derived from an underlying asset (the financial instrument).

Many underlying assets are traded on exchanges and their price is determined by supply and demand. Supply and demand though, are also measurable tools and there are so many reasons that could shift their curves.

What are these reasons? How were these assets created in the first place? Why would someone be interested to invest in them? Why would a trader choose a CFD product rather than the asset itself?

Take for example a CFD on the Crypto 10 Index

• Underlying Asset is the BITA Crypto 10 Index
• Just like any Index, it’s value is derived from its “constituents” (the 10 cryptocurrencies listed in the index) and their “weight” in the Index. Bitcoin holds a weight of 25% in this index so a big move in Bitcoin price, will have a strong market effect on the index as well.
• The CFD on the Crypto 10 Index, allows a trader to speculate on the price fluctuations of the Index.

But what is a constituent of an index? What is the importance of the weight of each constituent? Why create an index in the first place? Why trade the index instead of the individual constituents? How is an Index traded with practical examples?

The aim of our training is to dive into all instruments, including their Derivatives (the ways they can be traded) in a simplified manner derived by our very own sales training, that targets even the most difficult learner.

Our goal to “Own the Call” doesn’t relate only to a Sales Call. You could be in a Marketing Department, developing campaigns to attract new traders. Shouldn’t you know the product you’re marketing? You could be a Compliance officer, reviewing a transcript of the sales team. Shouldn’t you know the difference between “promising profits” and “the advantages of trading CFDs” – often confused – before you call the sales rep into your office?
