Choosing the financial spread betting company that is right for your style of trading is not an easy task. At Digital Look and CMC Markets, we firmly believe we have the right platform for you if you are already investing in stocks and shares and are beginning to see that spread betting could fit nicely into your overall investment strategy.
Spread betting isn’t about luck – it’s about using your investment know-how to trade on margin, leverage your position and short the market where you need to. And, its tax free* status can only help!
Spread bet directly from research
You shouldn’t go into spread betting without understanding your overall trading plan – but other spread betting platforms just don’t encourage you to do the research and analysis you need to take a winning position. By integrating Digital Look’s award-winning research with CMC’s solid and efficient trading platform, Marketmaker:Investor Edition allows you to fully prepare your trading plan and deal from the same screen as your research.
The Investor Edition is all about efficient trading from effective research.
Manage risk more effectively
As you know, investment and trading always carries a degree of risk. So what can you do to manage this risk? In addition to the standard stop loss mechanisms (such as Limits, and Controlled Risk Bets), we feel the best way of managing risk is to understand more about the trading environment. An effective trading strategy is vital – and effective strategies rely on thorough analytical research.
No other spread betting platform gives you integrated research and analysis tools directly within the trading software. No other spread betting provider takes your research – and your risk management – as seriously as Marketmaker:Investor Edition does.
A wider range of markets gives you more opportunities
CMC Markets boasts one of the widest ranges of markets available to spread betters – the more markets you have access to, the more opportunities you have. And backed-up by Digital Look’s award-winning research data, you should always be in a position to work those opportunities into your trading plan.
