The No.1 web trading platform¹

Our web platform means there's no download required to install the platform, while our charts are clear and easy to read, and you can view multiple charts simultaneously on one screen.

The platform that best suits your needs depends partly on the product and instrument you would plan to trade, as well as your trading style. You can try demo accounts on most platforms, including ours, to explore and test your ideas.

You can also trade on MetaTrader 4 with us, and spread bet or trade CFDs on a large number of forex pairs, as well major indices, and commodities. You'll need to download the platform, and there are an array of advanced features and tools, including 30 free, premium Expert Advisors (EAs) and indicators. With MT4, you can also download or create Expert Advisors, which are algorithms that can monitor and automate your trading.

We also offer the ability to trade through TradingView with your CMC Markets account.

Our web-based platform works across multiple browsers, while you can also trade on your mobile or tablet via our app, which includes mobile-optimised charting and in-app push notifications. Learn more about our mobile app, which works with iOS and Android.

No – you can create an account and log in to our web-based platform using your chosen browser. You'll be able to access the financial markets without installing any special software.
