Why Trade Leveraged Products on Indices?

Trading leveraged products on indices can provide traders with increased exposure to the markets, diversification, lower transaction costs, and flexibility. However, it's important to note that leveraged trading involves higher risks, so it's important for traders to have a solid understanding of the markets and to carefully manage their risk.
