CFD & FX Education

LEARN to make the most of CFDs with seminars, webinars and ongoing education.

Tight dealing spreads

Our Forex CFD spreads are extremely competitive. Normal Forex CFD dealing spreads on major world currencies start at just 2 pips.

Spreads are important. The tighter the quoted spread, the less the market has to move in your favour before your trade becomes profitable. Remember other fees and charges apply.

Wide product range, 24 hour trading

Clients can trade CFDs over all the major currencies 24-hours a day. We also offer an extensive range of over 50 cross currency combinations of all majors with highly competitive spreads.

Competitive margins and small minimum trade sizes

CMC Markets is committed to offering competitive margins. Typically margins are 1% of the deal amount (100:1 leverage). You can deal in lot sizes for spot Forex CFDs as small as US$10,000 (or first currency equivalent) and on similar, highly competitive FX spreads quoted on larger deals.
