ThinkMarkets synthetic-index prices are generated algorithmically rather than being based on the price of an underlying real-world asset.
The pricing process follows defined algorithmic and mathematical logic designed to generate market-like price behaviour.
Synthetic indices are not manually manipulated by Thinkmarkets and that the pricing framework operates within applicable regulatory and compliance requirements.
Because synthetic indices do not have an underlying exchange-traded market, their pricing works differently from instruments such as shares, forex pairs or traditional stock indices.
Clients can review the relevant Contract Specifications for information about the trading conditions that apply to each synthetic instrument.
