Trading instruments that are replicated and designed to reflect the behaviour of significant financial markets are known as synthetic indices. Due to the fact that these are simulated markets, the question naturally arises: who moves these markets? According to Investopedia, synthetic instruments are engineered to simulate the payoff of real market exposure without directly holding the underlying asset.
Why trade synthetic indices with Vantage X
