Powerful Spreads

Our Forex spreads are extremely competitive, regardless of trade size. We believe CMC Markets has one of the most competitive FX spreads. Competitive Forex spreads are important. The tighter the quoted spread, the less the market has to move in your favour before your trade becomes profitable. You can compare our competitive spreads at any time via our live spread charts.


Customisable Leverage and Fractional Ownership

Currency trading has never been more accessible with our new CFD offering. No longer are you restricted by minimum trade sizes and taking on a fixed amount of risk with each trade.

Currency Trading has traditionally meant a minimum trade size of US$10,000. With Fractional ownership you can trade any amount; there is no longer a minimum amount with fractional ownership.

Traditional FX brokers also force you to take out the maximum leverage. With Customisable leverage in our CFD accounts, you can decide just how much leverage you wish to take on.


Full suite of Trading Platforms and features

When you include that with our Next Generation charting and pattern recognition software, CMC Markets can offer all clients a great Currency trading experience.


Extra Quote Precision – For full transparency

Precision forex quote image

Many firms quote currency pairs to a maximum four decimal places. However the actual execution price contains more decimals that are not disclosed when you place a trade. If this happens, it is possible that your prices are rounded up or down to accommodate this. With CMC Markets, you will see the price quoted up to 5 decimal places, so there will be no rounding and no surprises. We strive to exceed your expectations by offering extra price precision over the generally accepted standard market quotations. There is complete transparency on our price.

We are so confident of our pricing structure that if you select charts for the currencies you want to trade, you will see a real time tick data chart of our dealing spreads throughout the day.
