During the month, more than 5.5 million turbo24s were traded. From this investment product, indices represented around 88 percent of the traded amount and currencies and commodities made up 7 and 5 percent, respectively.
Turbo certificates allow traders to make money from market fluctuations with Leverage , they have a built-in stop loss, and positions are automatically closed once a predetermined price level is reached. For example, Turbo Long Certificates allow you to benefit from rising prices, whereas Turbo Short Certificates benefit from falling prices.
