FAQs
Why trade on a web-based platform?
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.
Which trading platform is more suitable for me?
MetaTrader 4 enables you to trade CFDs on a large number of forex pairs, as well as all the major indices and commodities. With MT4, you can download or create programs called Expert Advisors to automate your trading.
What other devices can I trade on?
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.
Do I need to download or install any software?
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.
Is CMC Markets regulated?
CMC Markets has 15 global offices, including in the UK, Australia, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore and Bermuda. CMC Markets' entities are licensed and regulated by the local authorities, for example, CMC Markets Bermuda is licensed to conduct investment business and digital asset business by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (‘BMA’).
How does CMC Markets protect my money?
As a CMC Markets' client, your money is held separately from CMC Markets' own funds. It is held in segregated client bank accounts distributed across a range of major banks, which are regularly assessed against our risk criteria. Under the BMA rules, retail clients must be provided with negative balance protection. This means that your maximum loss is the amount you have deposited with us.
How do I place a trade?
If you're trading on MT4 or MT5, select the instrument you wish to trade ('double-click' on your PC), and a new order window will appear. Enter your desired volume (in lots), add any risk-management orders such as a stop-loss or take-profit order. Then place a market order in the direction you wish to trade; buy to go long, or sell to go short. There are several ways to place trades or orders using MT4 or MT5 – you can learn more about MT4 or MT5 functionality by navigating to Help > Help topics or Help > Video guides.
If you’re trading on our Next Generation platform, search for your desired instrument from the 'Product Library'. Select your chosen instrument ('right-click' on your PC), and select ‘Order Ticket’. In the order ticket box, choose your order type (from Market, Limit, and Stop-Entry Order), and then enter your desired volume in units or amount (this can be configured from the ‘Settings’ menu in the main navigation). Add stop-loss and take-profit levels to minimise your risk, and choose to ‘BUY’ or ‘SELL’, depending on whether you want to go long or short. When you’re ready, select ‘Place Buy Market Order’, or ‘Place Sell Market Order’.
What is the maximum leverage offered by CMC Markets?
For retail clients, the maximum leverage you can currently trade with is 200:1 (or 0.5% margin) with our CFD trading and FX Active accounts.
