Grand Capital clients now have access to another popular trading instrument: VIX CFD, available for trading on Standard and Swap Free accounts.

We always strive to provide better trading conditions and a wider variety of instruments to our clients, that’s why we pay so much attention to feedback. VIX was requested by many clients, and today we’re glad to announce that this instrument is already available for trading as a CFD on Standard and Swap Free accounts.

VIX, the volatility index (also known as the fear index), has been calculated by the Chicago Board Options Exchange since 1993. It reflects the expected volatility in the market for the next month based on S&P 500. Volatility is usually inversely proportional to the market growth.

More details can be found on the Specifications page, and if you have any further questions, contact us in your Private Office or via LiveChat on our website, our support professionals will be happy to help!
