IBKR Index CFDs are contracts which deliver the return of a market index. Said differently, the CFD is an agreement between the buyer (you) and IBKR to exchange the difference between the current value of an index, and its value at a future time. If you hold a long position and the difference is positive, IBKR pays you. If it is negative, you pay IBKR.
IBKR Index CFDs are traded through your margin account, and you can therefore enter long as well as short leveraged positions. Find an overview of IBKR issued index CFDs in the IBKR Knowledge Base.
