Never had any issues. Happy that CMC Markets has finally embraced TradingView for charting. Happy with their micro account. I've been with this broker since 2011.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for being with CMC Markets for so many years. We’re pleased to hear you’re happy with the TradingView charting and your account overall.

I am early in my trading journey, but I am very much enjoying the simplicity of the UI and all the features. Will certainly continue to use this platform

Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the platform and wish you all the best as you continue your trading journey.

I’ve found the UI quite efficient and easy to navigate. I did have some problems with getting the correct lot sizes at the start but figured it out after a few days and now really enjoy using trading view for my CMC account.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re pleased to hear you’re now enjoying using TradingView with your CMC account.

Excellent desktop trading platform Wide range of instruments to trade Transparency, great visibility of occuring costs MT4 is also availabe for those who prefer that platform

Thanks for the great feedback! It’s great to hear you’ve had a positive experience with the platform and available options.

It's great, but the move to locking some strategies behind a paid wall is a killer.

Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the platform overall and appreciate you sharing your thoughts on access to certain features.

I am trading for years and CMC Markets is the one and best broker by support and accuracy. They are running webinars, courses and reports time by time which are very useful.

Thanks so much for the great feedback! It’s great to hear you’ve had such a positive long-term experience with CMC Markets.

I've been trading for many years with CMC Markets. On the whole, I am quite comfortable with my trades. If any issues arise, customer services are always available to assist. A reliable company that can be trusted. The live charts are very good. It is a pity that a maximum of 10 charts can be placed on the platform, which is disappointing. It would be great to have a few more for my trading.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for trading with CMC Markets over the years! We’re pleased to hear you’re comfortable trading with us and find our service reliable. We also appreciate your feedback on charting limits and have noted your suggestion.

I have used many platforms in the past, took a little time to get to grips with order entries I would say good spreads, like the added feature (patterns) And never had a site with such timely withdrawals For me 5 out of 5

Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased to hear you’re enjoying the spreads, features, and timely withdrawals.

Overall experience has been very good. Fast execution and intuitive menus. Charting capabilities are very good with lots of technical studies on offer. Screen layout sometimes resets without any reason despite saving the watch lists.

Thanks a lot for the detailed review! We appreciate you sharing your experience. Great to hear the platform works well overall, and we’ve noted your comments on layout resets.

Unreliable service. Positions may stop showing by itself. Your losses for glitches are users problems

Frequently Asked Questions


Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)
Successful trading requires thorough preparation, ensuring every decision is well-informed and carefully considered. To develop a winning strategy, follow these key steps:
- Find the right asset using our screeners and heatmaps. Explore the stock market with the Stock Screener, track cryptocurrencies on the Crypto Coins Heatmap, and more tools to find in the main menu
- Analyze price movements on our Supercharts. Utilize multiple drawing tools, built-in indicators, and advanced features to gain deeper market insights
- Stay on top of market changes with the Economic Calendar and the latest news, helping you quickly adapt to shifting conditions

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.
Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.

Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
