Set up a CMC Markets Pro account to enjoy additional trading benefits
Opening a CMC Pro account gives you access to a number of exclusive benefits, at no additional cost.
CMC Pro is an account for CFD traders who are looking for a provider that recognises their commitment to trading.
*While a greater amount of leverage will be available to Pro account holders, it is important to note the risks associated with this.
CMC Markets Pro account holders are classified as wholesale clients. Wholesale client funds will still be protected in a segregated bank account.
If you trade in high volumes as a CMC PRO client, you can qualify for competitive monthly cash rebates^. Once you meet the minimum monthly trade volume requirements for one asset class , you will automatically qualify for rebates from your first trade placed on other asset classes. Monthly Trading Rebate Terms and Conditions
