CFD Trading with CMC
CMC Markets offer traders an award-winning CFD service that gives you the tools you need to make a profit. Here are six reasons to trade CFDs with CMC Markets.
1. Award-winning provider
CMC Markets is an award-winning company. We have earned independent recognition for the excellence of our trading platform, our product offering and our educational material. In 2011 we were awarded ‘Financial Services Provider of the Year' by Shares Magazine.
2. Customer service and dealing support
CMC Markets does not just cover the European markets; there are a wide range of global investments to trade outside of European business hours. Our customer management team is available whenever the markets are open - Sunday 20:30 until Friday 22:00 Irish time. In addition, our dedicated account management team is on hand to answer any queries while you get up and running.
3. Trade from as little as 1 CFD
With CMC Markets you can trade from as little as one CFD. This means you can take on as much or as little risk as you feel comfortable with, and start trading markets you might not previously have considered.
What's more, there’s no minimum deposit required to activate a live account, but you won't be able to start trading until you’ve deposited funds. Although there is no minimum, we recommend that you deposit around €200 to get started.
CMC Markets’ product range is designed to give you access to markets and instruments that would be expensive and require high minimum deposits to trade on a physical basis.
4. Technology
Technology is fundamental to our business, and constant technological innovation has been the key to CMC Markets’ success. Since its groundbreaking introduction in 1996, Marketmaker, CMC Markets’ award-winning trading software has evolved into a world leading financial trading platform. Nearly all our clients’ CFD trades are conducted online through Marketmaker, a testament to its reliability and ease of use.
5. Education
CMC Markets is committed to the education and the ongoing training of our clients. Our education team provide webinars, seminars and online learning modules, catering for a range of trading experience as part of our ongoing education program for potential and existing customers. Whether you’re a beginner or already trading CFDs, our education program is intuitively tailored to your level of experience.
6. Fixed risk accounts
The CMC Markets Fixed Risk CFD Account is ideal for investors who want to take advantage of the tax, leverage, and short-selling benefits of CFDs without the unlimited potential downside. The two key advantages of the Fixed Risk Account are that your account cannot be overdrawn and that any stop orders you place will benefit from our unique ‘No-Slip’ Guarantee, protecting you from unforeseen market slippage.
