Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when spread betting and/or trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets, CFDs, OTC options or any of our other products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Whether you’re spread betting or trading CFDs, Next Generation provides a number of platform trading tools such as client sentiment charts and pattern recognition to help you analyse the markets and identify potential trading opportunities.
Our client sentiment feature shows you the percentage of CMC Markets clients who have bought versus the percentage who have sold on a particular product, so you can gain an understanding of other clients' expectations. You can also see the monetary value of these positions as a percentage.
You can choose to view data for ’All Clients’ with an open position in a product, or filter out the noise by switching to the 'Top Clients’ view to see data from only top clients who have made an overall profit* on their account over the last three months.
Updated every minute
Our client sentiment analysis data is updated every minute, meaning these valuable insights are based on almost real-time information. This is especially useful during volatile periods when market prices can change rapidly.
See sentiment changes
Compare the up-to-the-minute sentiment (illustrated by the wide outer circle in the client sentiment chart above) with the figure at 10pm (UK time) the previous day (inner circle) to see recent changes in client trading.
Get trade ideas
Use the 'Also being Traded' section as a source of trading ideas. It shows which other products are being traded by clients that are currently trading the product you're viewing.
Our range of platform trading tools include multiple layouts, which enable you to create and save up to five different trading layouts within the platform. This gives you a much larger trading dashboard and lets you use the space more efficiently. Switch between layouts quickly and easily via the quick links in the top navigation toolbar.

Pattern recognition scanner is another feature of our platform trading tools. Scan over 120 of our most popular products every 15 minutes for emerging and completed chart trading patterns such as wedges, channels and head and shoulders formations. Set up automatic alerts so you're notified of technical trade set-ups and potential trading opportunities**.
When patterns complete, a price projection box is generated using technical analysis measuring techniques to highlight where the price action could go on the instrument's chart. You can use the inbuilt backtesting tool to measure the historical performance of each pattern and see how frequently price has hit the projection box.
This feature allows you to group different modules together, so that when you change the product shown in one module, all of the other grouped modules will automatically update to show the new product. You can link your watchlists to Reuters market news, client sentiment, charts and order tickets to quickly analyse your favourite products and place trades.
