Frequently asked questions

Can I go long and short on the same product at the same time and if so, how can this be done?

You are able to do this, unless you have added a guaranteed stop-loss order to your trade.

To enable this feature, you will need to deactivate 'Account Netting.' Go to 'Account Settings' and then un-tick the box which says 'Enable Account Netting for this Account.'

Please note that shorting certain instruments may not be permitted - check the 'Product Overview' for confirmation.

How secure is your platform?

We use the internationally accepted security system SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for all account functionalities, including fund deposits and withdrawals. This system is automatic and you will receive an instant notification if your browser does not support it.

Can I log into my account via your website and my mobile device at the same time?

No. You are only able to access your account through either the website or your mobile device at any one time. If you attempt to log in to both platforms at the same time you will be disconnected from your previous session.

Are there any devices from I can’t access the platform?

The CMC Markets app is currently available for download on Apple's iPhone and iPad, and Android devices. You can also log in to the platform using any Windows phone via the web browser on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Can I access the platform when I go abroad?

Yes, you should be able to access the platform and mobile apps when travelling abroad, providing you have sufficient network connection or are connected to Wi-Fi.

If you are using our iOS iPhone app, the Geo-Restriction functionality in place means you can only access your account if you are physically located in one of our licensed permitted countries listed below:

Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Belgium, British Virgin Islands, Bulgaria, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, China mainland, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, South Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mauritius, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom.

Unfortunately, this is not something we can affect as this restriction is a requirement from Apple. However, we do offer a few solutions:

  • You should still be able to access the platform from a computer browser or an Android device.

  • You can call us so we can trade on your behalf if needed

How can I apply a guaranteed stop-loss order to my trade?

Within the deal ticket, select 'Stop Loss' and then click on the arrow below 'Regular' on the right-hand side of the deal ticket. Then select 'GSLO' (guaranteed stop-loss order). Proceed to enter your stop loss amount as you would with a regular stop.

There is a minimum distance at which GSLOs will be placed, and a premium attached. This information can be found within the product overview for the relevant product.

Why has my stop loss not executed?

If you're currently long (with a buy position), make sure you're looking at a sell chart (you can change the chart type at the top of the chart itself). If you're short (with a sell position), make sure you're looking at a buy chart. If you still feel the stop loss should have been executed, please contact our Client Management team immediately.

Does the premium get refunded if I don’t use my GSLO?

If you remove a guaranteed stop-loss order (GSLO) from an open position, convert it to a regular or trailing stop-loss order, or close out the position yourself, we will refund your account with the full GSLO premium charge. An additional GSLO premium is not required to modify an existing GSLO.

Can I open more than one trade on the same product?

Yes, you can. Click on the 'Accounts' tab and then 'Positions' on the trading platform to see your separate positions, or an amalgamated total with your average entry price.

We offer CFDs on a large number of FX pairs and they can all be traded through the same platform. We don't, however, offer physical FX trading.

Why is ‘position increasing’ or ‘shorting’ not allowed on a particular product?

Sometimes you will be unable to buy or sell a product on the platform. There could be a number of reasons for this, but typically, it's when the regulator imposes restrictions or there's a lack of liquidity in the market.

To list CFD shares on our platform, a number of parameters need to be met. If the parameters are not met, then we may not allow clients to buy/sell at that given time.

Why and how does the minimum distance on a GSLO change?

Our Risk Management team determines the minimum distance for GSLOs on specific products, depending on market volatility and risk preference of that product on the day.

How is the GSLO premium calculated?

The premium charged for GSLOs will vary by product and depend on your trade size. The estimated cost will be displayed on order tickets before you agree to apply a guaranteed stop-loss order to a position, and will automatically be deducted from your cash balance once you have confirmed the GSLO. The premium is refunded in full if the GSLO is not triggered. Learn how we calculate our GSLO premiums.

Do you offer "One Cancels the Other" (OCO) orders?

Yes, but we don't call them OCO orders. You can set up Stop Loss and Take Profit orders for every trade, as all orders are automatically linked together. If you close your trade or the Stop Loss or Take Profit order is triggered all other linked orders will be cancelled.

* Other fees and charges apply.
