Index finger

Investopedia in block capitals has a better definition of an index than Wikipedia on this occasion since we can look at what we've already learned rather than tackle those still indicipherable trader terms.

"An index is a statistical measure of change in an economy or a securities market. In the case of financial markets, an index is an imaginary portfolio of securities representing a particular market or a portion of it."
