Client sentiment

Our client sentiment feature shows the percentage of CMC Markets clients who have bought versus the percentage who have sold on a particular instrument, so you can gain an understanding of other clients' expectations. You can also see the monetary value of these positions as a percentage.

'All' and 'Top' client data

You can choose to view data for 'All Clients' with an open position, or switch to the 'Top Clients' view to view data only from clients who've made an overall profit on their account over the last three months.²

Updated every minute

Our client sentiment analysis data is updated every minute, meaning these valuable insights are based on almost real-time information. This can be especially useful during volatile periods when market prices can change rapidly.

Sentiment changes

Compare up-to-the-minute client sentiment (illustrated by a wide outer circle) with the figure at 10pm (UK time) the previous day (inner circle), to gauge the recent changes in client trading.

Use the 'Also being traded' section as potential inspiration – it shows which other instruments are being traded by clients that are currently trading that instrument.

³The pattern recognition scanner is for general information only and is not intended to provide trading or investment advice. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the data. All analysis, resulting conclusions and observations in the Pattern Recognition Scanner are based upon historical chart information and patterns, which are in turn based upon historical CMC Markets trading data and not data relating to the ultimate underlying instrument(s). Note that our charts display prices denominated in the underlying currency for the instrument. Any information relating to past performance does not necessarily guarantee future performance. The use of charting data has inherent limitations, and you should not use this data solely to decide (or assist you in determining) which instrument to buy or sell.
