Our benefits
There are many benefits to investing with us, but there are four core reasons to choose CMC Markets as your provider.
Highly competitive pricing
With CFDs, precision pricing and tight spreads are fundamental to keeping trading costs down. We have made sure the CMC Tracker platform offers some of the tightest and most consistent spreads offered by any provider. We provide institutional-grade pricing as standard, and our spreads start low and stay low. The consistency of the spread throughout all types of market conditions is the most important thing. We believe in providing total transparency, and that’s why our historical spreads are shown in our charting tools – they’re not hidden away.
When trading shares, the less brokerage you pay the more you have left to invest, and we proudly offer Australia’s lowest online brokerage rates from just $9.90. Money magazine made it official by naming us Australia’s Cheapest Online Broker 2011. And our online share trading platform officially offers Australia’s Best Value, awarded by CANSTAR. You also pay less for risk management, with free conditional orders.
Speed and execution
Our CFD trading platform’s pricing engine and technology stack handle over one million prices per second. When your trade hits our systems the order is processed and returned in milliseconds. We don’t tolerate requotes on our new CMC Tracker platform, and we deliver on our promises.
Our share trading platform provides straight-through processing to get your order to the market typically less than one second after it’s received by our website. This type of order processing lets you take advantage of trading opportunities as soon as you identify them.
Excellent trading platforms and tools
Our CFD trading platform, CMC Tracker, is unique. We created it to be simple, intuitive and easy to use, yet packed with powerful tools and features. We also designed it knowing that our customers always demand more, so we built in the flexibility to constantly add new features: we will never stop upgrading. Because you want to access the markets whenever and wherever you are, you can access your CFD account on the web, iPhone and iPad, with more services on their way.
